Buccan Coral Gables 🔥 2025

PSA: 💁🏼‍♀️ Do not, I repeat, do not shop at the supermarket when hungry (and when Cheetos is a weakness). Look away, Lawrence Dean 😰

🍽️ NO NAME CHINESE 2.0. Comfort eats (and sips) to ease an awful day yesterday. So fire! 🔥

🍽️ ERBA’s $45 pp PASTA Tasting Experience is worth the “early bird” status: 5:30 to 6:30 daily. I WILL be back.

🍷 Sunday sips

🍽️ Speaking of Polo Norte, the ham and chorizo lasagna is a keeper: firmly structured with a velvety rich tomato sauce and way too much mozzarella (aka just perfect for me). 🧡

Hawaiian pizza with lightly toasted edges rocked too (stay away, pineapple haters).

👩🏼‍💻 What’s the scoop on MAASS? Here ya go! I wrote a little something about it. 😜

🍽️ Broward newbie, MAASS, still on fire.🔥 I can’t get enough.

🍴 Back to PALMA. This time, menu #0010. Enjoying seeing them adapt and evolve.

🍷 Wednesday sips

🍴 Never a disappointing dinner at FIOLA Miami.

⭐️ Florida’s third MICHELIN Guide Ceremony needs its very own star—chic, exclusive, and grand.

Miami scored three new starred restaurants, as I predicted. 😉

🎙️ Podcast episode with more behind-the-scenes scoop is on deck.

🍷 Additional magical sips to conclude the weekend. ✨

🍴 Back to good ole BOURBON STEAK last night. Always a solid, and one of the few Miami places we trust handling our wine.

🍷 Sips: Part 2. Beautiful wine night.

🍷 Saturday sips happening…

🥖 Perhaps choosing violence this morning, pero…don’t sleep on Tampa Cuban sandwiches. Even with the salami. 💁🏼‍♀️

⭐️ So much Michelin Florida to unpack soon, but for now I will say that Tampa really brought their A+ game. The best of the three ceremonies so far. Class act. VISIT FLORIDA Dana Young
