In case you don’t already know, I hate the beach. And, not just the beach, but Miami Beach as a whole is just a cesspool of pretense and superficiality. I hate the traffic. I hate the parking. I hate the parade of Botox and silicone. Plus, I look terrible in a swimsuit. That aside, every
During my search for spots in South Florida that are serious about fried chicken, I came across Yardbird. Then, I almost completely forgot about them, until I went to Swine and had a great experience there. Since both are owned and operated by 50 Eggs, Inc., it was a no-brainer that I needed to try
Momi Ramen in Brickell is very easy to miss. In fact, if I had not heard about it from word of mouth, then I would have never even known of its existence. It’s tucked away in one of the little side streets in Brickell. However, once you know what you’re looking for, you’ll know it
French food has always been a little bit scary for me. I mean, when you think of classy cuisine, French is usually one of the first things that comes to mind. So, when you’re a “broke baker”, such things can be somewhat intimidating. I mean, who isn’t afraid of ordering something that they can’t pronounce,
Early last year, a coworker of mine mentioned a new BBQ restaurant that opened in Coral Gables that I just HAD to try. I didn’t pay him a whole lot of mind, until said restaurant was present at Burgerliscious 2013 and wowed me with their burger. Since then, it has been on my to-do list

Unfortunately, such a venture is not particularly cheap, even during the more cost-effective lunch hours. Michael’s Genuine
The quest for awesome Peruvian food in Miami continues. This time, I ventured out to MPP Brickell. Their parent restaurant, Mi Propiedad Privada, has been in business in Lima, Peru for 12 years. They have a pretty solid reputation, so we’ll see how they measure up.
Focaccia Bistro is an Italian and French inspired restaurant, that appears to also occasionally dabble in Peruvian cuisine. It is a tiny and unassuming little bistro-style restaurant located on one of the main streets in Coconut Grove. It is difficult to spot on the busy street, unless you know what you are looking for. Armed
With Miami Spice over, I thought my fine-dining days were numbered for the rest of the year. Then, I found out about Dine Out Lauderdale, Broward’s version of Miami Spice. About 2 dozen restaurants participated in this promotion, which featured a $35 fixed price menu, usually 3 or 4 courses. Naturally, the thing to do
Barley and Swine appeared on my radar when word came out that the owners of The Joint (which closed down sometime last year) were behind it. And, also because of their very pork-centric menu. Not many other places offer things like bone marrow, pig ears, and pig face vaca frita. In fact, their Miami Spice
