After frequently driving by and seeing this place, I decided to give it a shot as the yelp reviews have all been favorable. As of this writing, the Bulla Gastrobar has three locations (Doral, Coral Gables and The Falls). As part of the Miami Spice event, which generally offers a three course meal to encourage people to sample various restaura...
Twice now I've been unable to resist the all you can eat at a restaurant. Gyu-Kaku is the Japanese barbecue which resembles the recently popular Korean barbecue restaurants across the nation. Changed from the last time I went, the buffet has been extended by 3 hours to 6pm, so it now goes from 11am-6pm and you can only stay for 90 minutes. I've nev...
This is my experience of visits to one of my top 3 restaurants for Miami restaurants, the problem is I have trouble remembering who the other two favorites are after a meal here. A recently awarded Michelin star restaurant off Collins Avenue roughly in the mid-northern part of Miami Beach, this restaurant is located in the Carillon Wellness Resort ...
A quest to finding the best ribs in Miami is no easy task. Many have their favorite restaurants and especially locals prefer some of the historically honored traditional establishments such as Shiver's or Shorty's.
A good rib is one that is tender, not dry and above all else, tasty. And with these come subjective interpretations, which is delicious to one person may simply be atrocious to another. Some are ok with parboiled ribs for tenderness while others demand that they be slow roasted or slowly smoked. There are varying styles of barbecue that differ from Texas to North Carolina as well as the regional accompanying sauces.
I went to four different barbecue places to try their selection, in search of the best ribs and I was surprised at the complexity of the task. Each place I went to held their own and have their own special merits and I could easily go to any of these places depending on what I am in the mood for on that particular day. I am in the fortunate, or if you look at my waistline, unfortunate position of liking everything, beef ribs, spare ribs, baby back ribs, so long as it tastes good and the meat is tender.
First on the list is Shiver's BBQ in Homestead. It is a landmark and has been around since the 1950s.
They have a large variety of offerings and when it comes to ribs they have the full gamut of pork spareribs, baby back ribs and beef ribs. You can get all three in the "rib trio" which is what I did:
Zitz sum, named after chef Pablo Zitzmann sports a dark themed interior tucked away in a historic building off of Alahambra Circle. This bib gourmand restaurant has been open since early 2021. Service was brisk and friendly, which is always appreciated. There is a bar where you can sit that opens into the dining room. I decided to sit at a ta...
