Come January, each and every one of us will be boasting about some ridiculous, noble new years resolution. Think juice cleanses, gym memberships, or renouncing all things pork. We’ve all been there. But, come February, after much whimpering and complaining, we’ll be back to our bacon-eating and milkshake-drinking ways. Too…

It was nearly 6 p.m. on a brisk Saturday, and only three tables at Key Biscayne’s Exit 1 were occupied. A mural of a lighthouse scene filled a white stone wall, which was framed by dark molding and vintage photographs of old Key scenes. Smooth jazz played in the background…

Miami Food Scene 2012: Top 12 Uppers and Downers
In the past couple of years, Miami’s food scene has joined the ranks of the nation’s greatest dining destinations. The New York Times’ Frank Bruni cited the rising Design District, including Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, for its great potential. Bon Appétit named Yardbird Southern Table & Bar among the…
In 2012, many notable eateries closed up shop. In some cases, we shed a tear as we watched them go. In others, well, our bets had been placed for quite a while. (Sustain Restaurant & Bar was just a few sad, happy hours away from my late-April wager.) This past…
If you were to look back at the restaurants openings of 2012 in Miami, you might notice a bit of a trend. Our epicurean vista has evolved and diversified. We are now home to more mid-priced, chef-driven eateries: Surfside gained a deli; South Beach has a ceviche joint run by…
Sure, there’s fun to be had when shooting food pictures with your iPhone. But, sometimes, while flicking through our Instagram feed, we shudder in disappointment. Do Instagramers really think that a flash-flooded shot of corn chowder looks appetizing? Or that a blurry photo of empty wine glasses merits a “like”?…

If you want to make latkes like Joshua Marcus of Josh’s Deli, then you must first make chicken soup. After you have made chicken soup, then you must cool it in the refrigerator. After a few hours, a white, pasty substance will rise to the brim of the surface. Skim…
At Pride and Joy, Myron Mixon Wants You to Kiss the Ring
The best holiday dinners go down a little like this: the host or hostess drops off a juicy, slow-cooked brisket, a platter of latkes, and a golden homemade challah atop a linen-topped dining room table. Eyes light up. Is it the candles or all the champagne? We just don’t know…
On a sunlit Wednesday afternoon in early December, Myron Mixon sits at a wooden picnic table on the back patio of the new Wynwood barbecue joint Pride and Joy. His long white hair is pushed away from his fleshy face. His thick beard is speckled with dark whiskers. His black…
There are certain extravagant holiday gifts that impress only because of their price tag — particularly when it comes to shopping for the ultimate food lover. For these gift recipients, bottle openers and knife sets just won’t do. The food-obsessed home cook would love an electric wine cellar or sous…

It was 3 p.m. on Thursday afternoon and there was a long, winding line at Design Miami. The line, however, wasn’t exactly where you’d expect. It wasn’t by the entrance, or by the stunning Glithero Perrier-Jouet installation. And it wasn’t by the ladies’ bathroom, either. This line was at Michael…
Toro Toro Charges Into Downtown Miami
Last summer, while walking through Paris’s trendy neighborhood Saint-Germaine-des-Prés, I came across a petite falafel shop named Maoz Vegetarian. Inside was a long line of Parisians loading up falafel sandwiches with tabouli, tahini, and greenery from an expansive salad bar. And it cost less than 5 euros. Then, after sampling…
To say Miami’s Toro Toro is the product of an ambitious game plan is an understatement. James Beard Award-nominated chef Richard Sandoval’s expansive empire includes 34 eateries, with U.S. locations in California, Arizona, Colorado, New York, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. He also owns a fast-casual rotisserie chicken joint named Kokoriko…
