Every guy dreams of having a man cave, the kind of place equipped with self-serve craft beer, 25 TVs to properly watch sports games simultaneously without having to lift a finger to change the channel, comfortable seating with plush American flag pillows, and burgers. Lots of them. Sounds like the…
First came Bourbon Steak, the debonair steakhouse at Turnberry Isle. Then Michael Mina 74, a swank gastronomic stand-in for the underground space at the Fountainbleau once occupied by Arkadia. And now with Stripsteak just feet away from MM 74, celebrity chef Michael Mina has hit his Miami trifecta. Heading up…
Stephen Starr has quite the year ahead of him, and it’s about to get even busier. The restaurateur announced he’s opening another eatery in Bal Harbour Shops in the space La Goulue once called home. It will be just seconds away from Makoto, Starr’s popular Japanese restaurant. Details such as…
Nothing’s more effective for the health-conscious cause than dessert. If you can eat a plant-based cake that’s just as delectable as its alternative, why wouldn’t you? Yet most people won’t even try it. Annu Raw Vegan is all about sweets. The shop, a pop-up cake and milkshakery within Emack and…
Imagine a sub shop where a media noche is a triple-decker packed with porchetta and a reuben is smeared with truffle thousand island dressing. If you’re thinking this is only a place that can exist in your gourmand dreams, think again because it’s exactly the premise behind Little Bread Cuban…
It’s typical for Miami restaurants to be delayed in their opening, especially when said restaurant is an oyster bar that has traps as light fixtures and empty oyster shells affixed to the walls. The restaurant at hand is Midtown Oyster Bar and it was supposed to debut in October, but…
Nutella is delicious. Nobody’s going to deny that Italy’s super-famous hazelnut spread is anything but a nectar of the Gods. It’s good on bananas, on toast, on ice cream. On anything. But Nutella isn’t vegan. And it’s loaded with saturated fat and processed sugar. So what’s a plant-based eater with…
Jeremiah Bullfrog’s shipping containers that sustained the Art Basel masses with Royals with cheese and bouncy alkaline noodles topped with spicy, hammy XO sauce will be sticking around Wynwood a bit longer to serve a temporary test kitchen for the mostly mobile chef.

At a sprawling communal table made of old cherry trees, a black-clad figure appears with an unadorned beech-wood box. As you sip green tea tinged with the faint aroma of burning leaves, she sets the box on the table and slips off one of its sides, revealing three trays. She…
The longstanding South Beach Italian haven Escopazzo is no more. The closure of Giancarla Bodoni’s two-decade old restaurant, first reported late last week on Miami.com, comes as the island remains awash in Italian spots, some better than others. In its absence beachgoers are left with choices like Scarpetta, Macaluso’s, Macchialino,…
Andiamo is a favorite neighborhood pizza joint that serves up our number one pick for meatballs in Miami. When it comes to pies they have a full page dedicated to speciality combinations or else you can play Frankenstein and create your own. However, on a recent visit we noticed a…
Kris Wessel is famous for his unique, indigenously-inspired Floridian fare. Menu items like barbecue shrimp, coconut-conch chowder, and “Hialeah-style” palomilla steak mark Oolite’s lineup. But Wessel is the master of more than just animal protein. His Miami Beach eatery offers a wide array of meatless dishes, and this Thursday, they’re…
Baseling all weekend? Make sure to fit brunch into your agenda, partly because you’ll need to get some fuel in you but also because Mignonette recently launched brunch service, which means in addition to shucking oysters Danny Serfer is also flipping eggs. No stranger to brunch, Serfer has Sunday devotees…
Hot on the heels of the opening of L’Echon Brasserie at the Hilton Cabana Hotel, the Pubbelly Boys, Andreas Schreiner, Jose Mendin, and Sergio Navarro, are expanding their growing restaurant roster.

You might know that Siena Tavern, the Chicago Italian eatery that opened in South Beach last month, has an in-house celebrity. No, it’s not chef/partner Fabio Viviani (although the Top Chef alum, who recently published his second book, does have star wattage). It’s actually a meatball. What some people might…
I have a personal bias against Doral. Maybe it’s the fact that I lived there for 12 years or that my parents made the move at a time when the most exciting dining options were Hooters and Tony Roma’s. Today, however, Doral is Venezuelan foodie heaven, with arepa and cachapa…
Pause for a moment to inhale the aroma of fresh Burgundy truffles that fleck the frothy soup’s surface. Swirls of brown butter diffuse the mushrooms’ fragrance, infusing the appetizer with the rich scent and taste of toasted hazelnuts. Both raw and golden tips of cauliflower float atop the dish that…
