Joanna’s Marketplace

Early each morning, when most of us are still asleep, the crew of Joanna’s Marketplace is in the kitchen, slicing, dicing, grilling, poaching, broiling, and sauteeing all manner of fresh comestibles. Little bits of smoked ham hocks are being put aside for split-pea soup; tomatoes are simmering into a bisque. Cooks debone chicken breasts that […]

La Estancia Argentina

Argentine steaks are revered not because of how they’re cooked, but because the meat is incredible. The cattle roam the fertile pastures of the pampas and are never forced to exert themselves (because exercise makes the meat tougher). They are carted around the country in train cars. This special treatment produces beef that melts when […]

Laurenzo’s Itialian Market

Some people need special lighting, kitschy artwork, stuffy classical music, and sky-high prices to feel like they’re buying gourmet. If that’s you, skip Laurenzo’s, where the focus is on awesome food at reasonable prices. The store is huge, offering hard-to-find high-end and/or imported grocery products, gorgeous produce (from the farmers’ market across the street), luscious […]

Los Pinareos Fruteria

When the nostalgia thermometer of a Cuban exile registers a dangerously high level, it usually signifies the person is in a state of hallucinatory shock known as “acaba de llegar.” Symptoms include calling all friends socios, having a packed bag that weighs exactly 44 pounds sitting next to the door, and frequently waving a ration […]

Manantial Market

The Middle East Best Food

It’s pretty bold to hang signs in your window and above your cash register claiming you serve the best pita in the nation. But owner Aziz Ali stands by his claim and refuses to tell anyone why this is so. “It just is,” he says. “I don’t want to give you my secret.” Know what? […]

New Deal Kosher Market

George Wilensky started the New Deal Market in 1957. These days, his son Heshey runs it, which makes it – to our knowledge – the only butcher shop in South Florida that has operated under the same ownership and in the same location for more than 50 years. The formula hasn’t changed much through the […]

Residents of South Miami and Kendall know this joint well. That shouldn’t be a surprise considering that the family who owns it has been open for business on this same spot for over forty years.
