You won't be running into any of your friends from Occupy Miami at the

Villa by Barton G. The one-percenter stronghold is heavily secured, full

of Versace's original designs, and

marked in more gold, mosaic, and fresco than the palace of a Russian

Chef Jeff O'Neill takes that gold and uses it to plate some of the best

food in Miami. Here's what we saw in the kitchens and on the property.
