South Beach has never looked as good as it does this sun-drenched afternoon. You’re sitting beneath the sea grape tree at Restaurant Michael Schwartz and watching two dudes play catch with a foam football in the Raleigh Hotel pool. Children romp in the water and beg their parents for more…

Dinner Lab, a self-proclaimed “social dining experiment” with outposts in nine major cities, is set to debut in Miami in early 2014. The members-only supper club hosts up to 80 dinners in each metropolis yearly. And these meals are never exactly the same. For each event, Dinner Lab changes its…
You might have seen the 63-degree egg. It pops up on several menus around town — at OTC, MC Kitchen, and Eating House, among others. But what the hell is it exactly? “It’s an egg that’s cooked in its shell in a water bath,” explains Jacob Anaya, the executive chef…
It’s impossible to miss the mimosas at OTC, the year-old Brickell sensation. On a recent Sunday morning, they adorn every table on the porch like fizzy orange vases. The line of patrons is equally obvious. A young crowd clusters by the restaurant’s counter and forms a string of cool kids…

The duo behind Buena Vista Deli and Buena Vista Bistro has launched another business on Northeast Second Avenue. Cory Finot and Claude Postel opened Buena Vista Chocolate & Wine this week — proffering a wide selection of bonbons, specialty teas, and affordable wines…
Danny Serfer gets a lot of love. Blue Collar fans rave over the tiny restaurant’s $16 veggie plate. They also laud his less salubrious offerings: vaca frita-topped tostones, wild Florida shrimp jambalaya, and the famed “Corben” — a heaping portion of brisket, Portuguese muffins, jus, latkes, and apple sauce. When…
Nothing ruins a meal like qualifying its authenticity. You know the drill: You slurp down a big bowl of aromatic pho, you really enjoy it, and then your brain kicks into gear. It didn’t take you to the streets of Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. You have become the…

Hell yeah, it’s Friday. That means it’s time to eat, get hammered, and then eat again. But before you start all the revelry, let’s go over the proper linguistics of Miami food and booze. Una hartura: A state of gluttony spawned by consuming excess edibles. Symptoms include paunch, immobility, and…

When he isn’t at his restaurant, the playful chef seeks out cool spots and laid-back neighborhood joints. Here, in his own words, are his favorite restaurants in Miami. 1. Zuma: “I love…
You won’t taste the gator. It’s cooked in a thick, fiery gumbo with okra, shrimp, and boar, so you’re fooled by its familiar aroma, which is blended with sassafras and smoke. The greenish liquid, fortified with spices and herbs, veils the exotic flavors of reptile and wild boar. Sure, you…
It’s noon on a weekday. You’re running late. Alton Road traffic has sparked you to make wild, violent hand gestures. Suddenly, in the distance, you espy solar panels, pumpkins, and a Prius. It’s the smallest freaking Whole Foods in the entire world! (AKA the South Beach store.) You go inside…
