Steven J. Perricone opened his restaurant in a Brickell that was vastly different than it is today. The New York-born restaurateur and nightclub owner opened the restaurant 22 years ago with a feeling that the mostly residential community would grow. “I always had an affinity for emerging areas.

For years, Brad Kilgore wanted to tweak the soft-cooked egg that became a hit almost the day his Wynwood restaurant, Alter, opened in 2015. The only problem was that changing the dish, which accomplished its mission to become a signature almost too well, was borderline taboo.

It can be enhanced with pork belly, duck, brisket, pork shoulder, or chicken thigh for another $4, though it’s perfect without them.

Erick Briceño and Michael Honore are obsessed with Jupiña.
