WORDS / LIZA SANTANA
Constantly recognized for its diversity, beaches, nightlife, and culture, Miami continues to evolve as acity. But now, the 305 has become known for something else, making the cut as a top “foodie city.”
Although through the years South Florida has boasted some great talent including Chefs Norman VanAiken, Michelle Bernstein, Douglas Rodriguez and Adrianne Calvo, Miami was never considered a topculinary spot on the map. For those who do follow the culinary scene, New York and Chicago havealways been favorites, with a plethora of local eateries and chef concepts including Michelin ratedrestaurants.
Today, the culinary scene is exploding. Many credit the food truck movement, for exposing a lot of new chefs and food concepts. Others credit once dilapidated areas of the city becoming popular
