Yes, it’s Monday. But in honor of another workweek
beginning, Short Order wants to brighten your day with Hot Plates, a look at the beautiful men and women who work at local restaurants and bars.
Newcomer STK is teeming with pulchritudinous
servers, bartenders, and hostesses. However, hostess Martine Cameau caught
our eye at the steak-house-cum-lounge, which is located at the Gansevoort South
Hotel in Miami Beach. The 25-year-old part-time model has been manning the hostess stand since
the restaurant’s debut January 1. Most nights, you can find her wearing a form-fitting American Apparel outfit and a huge smile while greeting customers.
Maybe it’s all of those STK Shots.
New Times: What is the
sexiest item on STK’s menu?Martine Cameau: I have a thing for tuna tartare. Also, the
cheesecake lollipops. It’s cheesecake on a stick with chocolate. And you can
never go wrong with chocolate.
NT: How often are you
hit on? How do you handle lecherous customers?
MC: We have a very friendly clientele. Being modest, I’d say
I get hit on at least once a night. I’m friendly. There’s nothing wrong with
flirting. Just as long as they aren’t being disrespectful.
NT: Describe the scene
at STK.
MC: It’s definitely sexy. We have a very nice-looking crowd.
It’s a who’s who of South Beach.
NT: How do you unwind
after work?
MC: With a cocktail. I’m really into the STK Shot, which is
Patrón XO Café. It’s my new shot of choice because it doesn’t taste like
tequila.
