I not only had the pleasure to shoot this amazing new garage, but I am now also a client, as I had them take care of tinting and interior/exterior protection on my new car! I was very impressed with the quality of the workmanship as well as the very high quality of the product used.

Just an average weekend in South Beach, at a home Robin Leach called “The Most Expensive Party House in the world.” The day was complete with a visit from a guy with A FREAKIN JETPACK!
This new restaurant was so damn delicious I don’t even know where to begin. I was first invited to the restaurant for a family style dinner sampling on opening night. I didn’t know what to expect and I was blown away with what was to come. Our first starter was Maple Syrup Marinated Bacon w/ a side of vermont syrup…. it was sacrilicious! After came Fried Green Tomatoes w/ Texas Pete Aioli & Mac and Cheese Croquetas, which were both as good as they sound. Next came the Pièce de résistance, an entire suckling pig! This thing is marinated whole and slow roasted/smoked for almost 3 days! After presenting it, and after one of our guests ripped a leg off and started gnawing on it, they took it back to the kitchen to slice it up before bringing it back. I couldn’t believe how juicy and tender the pork came out. Add to that one of their BBQ sauces and it was an unbeatable dinner. The meal was topped off with a bacon infused chocolate cupcaked topped with a chocolate ganache and candied bacon….. its even better than it sounds.
I was impressed enough that I wanted to go back and try a few more dishes, so I did a couple days later. I started with a Frito Pie; frito chips, crumbled chorizo, smoked okra dip, sharp cheddar and scallions. This reminded me of something I might’ve thrown together in college, only a bit fancier. I loved the presentation; serving it in a Frito bag. For dinner I had a BLT, made with their maple marinated thick cut bacon, fried green tomatoes and romaine lettuce on texas toast w/ texas pete aioli. As I’m not a fan of raw tomatoes, this was probably the best BLT I have ever tasted. It wasn’t enough though and I also ordered a Spam Sandwich. It was a homemade molasses glazed spam, seared and topped with cheddar and a sunny side up egg on texas toast. I have never actually had canned spam, so I cannot compare it to the real thing, but this sandwich was pretty damn delicious. It was a unique flavor and one of the best and most unique sandwiches I’ve ever had. I think I’ve rambled on enough, so here are the photos!
A couple of months ago I tried for the first time a new gastropub in South Beach called Pubbelly. It blew me away and is hands down one of my favorite places I have ever eaten at in my 7 years in miami. The owner has just opened up two new restaurants next door, Pubbelly Sushi and Barceloneta, the latter of which I look forward to tasting. Pubbelly Sushi I finally tried and was quite impressed. I’ll let the dishes below speak for themselves.
The first starter is a Snow Crab handroll wrapped in goma soy paper w/ a ponzu clarified butter.
The next starter is the Rock Shrimp Tempura w/ buffalo aioli, bleu cheese, burdock & celery leaf. It was a surprising combination of flavors. Like traditional buffalo chicken but with this melt-in-your-mouth tempura shrimp instead.
This dish is a cool take on traditional sushi called a New England style roll. I ordered mine with a spicy raw tuna topped with a potato frite & scallion aioli. I could easily take down four or five of these without a second thought!
The last dish is hands down my favorite of the night. A fried clam sushi roll topped with bbq pork belly (amazing) and a kimchee slaw. I first separated all the components and each piece was delicious on its own. Together was just an explosion of flavor with each ingredient complimenting the next.
