There is often confusion concerning the boundaries between Mexican food, Tex-Mex, other-American-Mex, and all variations thereof. Do people in Mexico eat tacos in fried, U-shaped corn tortillas? Is chimichanga a silly American word for an Americanized Mex concoction, or a silly Mexican word for an actual dish from that country?…
Henry and Maria Herzbrun debuted Bagel Express in Palmetto Bay on September 15, 1992. “Right after Hurricane Andrew,” recalls Henry. “For the first two years we used to hand roll our own bagels.”He had a partner back then, and they were trained in the disappearing craft of hand-rolling bagels by…
PM Fish and Steak House: Pricey Steaks in a Gorgeous, Bicultural Setting
There are steak houses, there are Argentine steak houses, and then there is PM Fish & Steak House, an utter hybrid of the two. Diners are privy to provoleta and empanadas but can also opt for salmon tartare or carpaccio of smoked marlin. Ceviche and tirados are on the menu,…
“The Village” has to be one of the coolest spots to dine in downtown Miami. The minimall of restaurants is located across the street from the Miami Tower, and features courtyard dining at some very worthy eateries. Martini 28 is one. Thai Angel was another, but it is now out…
The return of Kevin Cory’s incredible Naoe and the debut of Josh’s Delicatessen & Appetizing were the most notable local openings in April. China Grill’s shuttering in South Beach was the big closure (although it will reopen in Brickell). Other than that, our list of exciting establishments to come keeps growing…
There is no sign on the window announcing closure, but Symcha’s hasn’t been open for business during at least the past four nights, and no one has answered the phone. I snapped these photos Sunday, at an hour when the restaurant was supposed to be serving dinner. Looks like it’s…
It only makes sense that a boutique burger at a bistro be paired with a glass of Bordeaux. And so starting Tuesday, May 1, db Bistro Moderne is offering a complimentary glass of the austere French wine with every hamburger purchased at lunch or dinner (a pairing long favored by…

Juvia’s Cuisine Doesn’t Quite Equal the Setting, but the Vista Is Glorious
The question was posed to me in an email from some food television media type for an unspecified project:What is the best restaurant street in Miami? Think in terms of diversity or history or kitchen talent — whatever quality makes it interesting and worth eating one’s way from one end…
Juvia sits on the penthouse level of the Herzog & de Meuron-designed building at 1111 Lincoln Rd. like a sparkling jewel set in concrete. After a brief elevator ride, guests step into an open-air dining room with vertical gardens designed by Patrick Blanc. The rest of the space is defined…

Brooklyn is located in Kings County, New York, and Kings County Pizza is located in North Miami Beach. The small slice of a restaurant is owned by a couple with roots in Queens and Long Island, but the pizza is touted as “Brooklyn’s Finest.” I’m not sure I’d go that…
Mor, from Tel Aviv, opened his kosher sandwich shop at 19200 West Dixie Highway in Aventura about two months ago. There are some ten sandwiches on the menu that look like food you would find anywhere else — such as the “Italian” sub of dried salami, honey-glazed turkey breast, lettuce,…
Today, 4/20, is the only day of the year when more Americans write and comment about pot than actually smoke it. What no doubt started as a story reported in desperation on a slow news day, has grown into something resembling a mainstream holiday — all that’s missing is a…
To enter Bianca, the Delano Hotel restaurant that arrived at January’s end, is to step back in time to South Beach during the heady ’90s. In those days, fine-dining establishments could charge what they wanted for whatever fussed-up fusion cuisine they felt like serving. They could provide negligent service and…
Technically speaking, Kone Temaki Sake Lounge does not serve fat sushi rolls/ But as the name suggests, it specializes in temaki, or sushi cones. Temaki looks like an ice cream cone, but is a little smaller — the nori serves as the “cone” and raw fish, rice, and whatever else…
