Spend ten minutes around Anwar Zayden and he seems like the most Miami guy in Miami, with a highlight reel of gestures both grand and gaudy. But under the flashy lid, there's actually an old-school romantic who's taken his lumps yet still holds tight to notions like dignity, nobility and honor, which -- in South Beach -- makes him about as rare as a snowstorm.
