Food inspires passion. Just look at what happened to that Marie Antoinette lady when she got all creative with her cake. But few forms of grub inspire as much as the hamburger. She is, after all, a fickle mistress. Handled carelessly, the burger can be disastrous. But crafted by careful and practiced hands, it can […]

Husband-and-wife team Cesar Olivo and Adriana Perez Benatar, two-thirds of the trio behind Aventura’s Reunion Ktchn Bar, have opened their newest restaurant in Miami Lakes. Korner 67 (K67) could be described as Reunion’s hip new sister, carrying on some traditions and delivering new delights unique to the establishment with a menu executed by chef Adriana […]
In 2017, Matthew Kuscher (Lokal, Kush, the Spillover) purchased Stephen’s, the last of Hialeah’s Jewish delis, with a mission to keep the tradition alive. He reopened with a restoration so admirable it makes you feel like you’re stepping back to 1954, when the restaurant was one of four delis on the block. Henderson “Junior” Biggers […]

La Carreta doesn’t serve the most gourmet Cuban food in Miami, but with multiple locations, it’s a convenient place to get the classics. The Little Havana location is a stand-alone building guarded by a colorful rooster statue. The menu is an extensive list of Cuban dishes such as ropa vieja ($8.95), picadillo ($6.50), and palomilla […]
Beyond the Catskills-meets-Hialeah vibe of Kush Hialeah (formerly Stephen’s Deli), owner Matt Kuscher has opened La Cocina, a 40-seat bar accessed through a corridor past the restrooms. The space is decorated in what can best be described as “Hialeah squared.” Lotto tickets and La Caja China labels serve as wallpaper and never have so many […]
Beyond its croquetas and fritas, Hialeah isn’t much lauded for culinary excellence. For that reason alone, you might not expect to see La Fresa Francesa here. You could almost hear the collective gasp when La Fresa Francesa opened near a canal that slices diagonally along the city’s southern edge. But Sandy Sanchez and Benoit Rabiat, […]
Just off Miami Gardens Drive, inside a generic shopping center anchored by a Publix, you will find a golden opportunity to savor deliciously prepared Nicaraguan cuisine. A typical fritanga, La Hormiga de Oro offers cantina-style Nica dishes at moderate prices for dining in or taking out. Six dollars and 50 cents brings charbroiled steak and […]

Formerly a “first come, first served” pop-up, La Traila Barbecue has turned into a Miami success story, serving up some of the Magic City’s finest barbecue. With a recently opened brick-and-mortar location, Austin-born Mel Rodriguez and Miami native/Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie have given a Miami spin to Texas-style barbecue with a menu focused […]
Sure, there’s a serious lack of air conditioning, and random dancehall concert posters adorn the walls. But L.C. Roti is the spot for the softest, freshest, and yummiest roti in North Dade. Located in a Caribbean-centric strip mall off State Road 441 in Miami Gardens, the place regularly boasts a dinnertime line of customers waiting […]
Hialeah’s Southeastern industrial corridor rose to prominence during the 1980s as one of the largest and busiest areas of production and manufacturing in Florida. As a result of modernization combined with the effects of outsourcing, the uses that were once prevalent in the area dissipated and this particular area was all but abandoned. Since that […]
This Hialeah-Miami Lakes hole-in-the-wall is hard to find but well worth the mission if only to try the enchiladas poblanas, which include exotic, spicy mole slathered onto three corn tortillas stuffed with chicken and crowned with Mexican cheese ($12.99). Vegetarians can substitute spinach for the chicken and top the whole thing off with sliced avocados. […]

This Colombian hole in the wall realizes that in the middle of the night, when the alcohol has run dry or the munchies start to kick in, people don’t mind paying South Beach prices for a hot dog, potatoes, and a coke, even if they are in West Dade. That’s not to say that Los […]
