Not the Same Miami Spice Picks, 2017 – Part 1

Who’s ready for Miami Spice 2017? This year we've taken a new spin on the promotion with not the usual players. So you'll find new talked about places, a supper club, another top steakhouse you may want to try, a dining as party spot, and even a solid choice for vegetarians. While classics like Zuma, Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, Milos, Palme d’Or and Red, the Steakhouse are all reliable options, newer hotspots like Brad Kilgore’s Alter, Michael Schwartz’ Fi’lia, Kaori by Walter Martino, and those listed below promise to show you a new side of the Magic City. Plus note that a three course brunch has been added to the meal offerings of lunch and dinner. Part 1 in a 2 part series.

Fabulous Friday: Monkey Muffin

You may have heard of the cruffin, a cross between a croissant and a muffin, a bakery item that took San Francisco by storm in 2014, then spreading to the East Coast. It starred in an earlier Fabulous Friday. On a recent trip to Portland, Oregon, I was smitten by another West Coast pastry standout -- the Monkey Muffin from Grand Central Bakery. The next pastry craze perhaps?

Lima Peruvian Restaurant

My “go to” place for a very casual, low cal, quality, inexpensive bite in Brickell midweek has been Obba Sushi.But I’ve been aching for someplace new, and not Japanese. To the rescue, my new neighborhood find, Lima, located within the Atton Brickell Miami Hotel, a hotel group from Chile. As you’d guess, the food is Peruvian .The Chileans, as the Peruvians know their seafood, and it shows. Plus, prices are fair and downright cheap for the three hour happy hour and there's a new weekly Saturday Session at their rooftop pool and lounge from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., an option to South Beach.

Tatel from Enrique Iglesias and Rafael Nadal

Earlier this year, Tatel Miami was listed in my “hot” list of restaurants to watch for the opening. With celebrity owners including music superstar Enrique Iglesias and Spain’s tennis legend Rafael Nadal and NBA champion Pau Gasol, plus a successful mother restaurant in Madrid, it was on my “to do” list. In March Tatel opened in the Ritz Carlton South Beach, and I was finally able to make a visit. It turned out to be different from what I expected. And be sure to read about the new happy hour that's a good way to sample some of their signature offerings.

MC Travels: A Foodie’s Austria

Austria isn't especially known as a foodie destination, except possibly for the pastries and its being home of the chocolate Sacher torte named for the Viennese hotel. So when I had the chance to do a foodie's tour of Austria, I welcomed the chance to confirm or debunk a myth. From the capital city of Vienna to Graz, the Alpine towns of Gastein and Salzburg, I did some serious research. The findings? Wait until you see the photos!
