If you want to explore more of Indian food outside of the usual rotation, check out Moksha in Ft. Lauderdale 🇮🇳 And don’t get me wrong the classics are great but there’s a lot more to Indian food Their menu stretches across regions from north to south India blending traditional techniques with modern presentation. Dishes like rich curries, seafood, Indo-Chinese plates and even some street food. 📍@mokshaftl (2823 E Oakland Park Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33306) #adThis is my new favorite burger in Miami. @coneyburger’s comeback has created a lot of buzz. Husband-and-wife duo Pedro & Vanessa wanted to bring ack classic burgers: thick, juicy, and handcrafted. For me, a classic burger will always be the best burger you can get and Pedro has managed to create my new favorite one in Miami. With buns made from scratch, along with house-made patties, sauces, and even pickles, it’s hard not to appreciate the effort put into these burgers — even more so when you taste them. And I can’t forget the Champ burger which you may have seen several other videos online of others claiming it as the juiciest burger they’ve ever had. It’s fantastic too. This is a family-run business that’s putting a lot of effort into their food and I think that’s reason enough to check them out and support.

Lauderdale has been open since 1966 — almost 60 years of history and recipes passed down through four generations. 🍜 Now, great-grandson Alex Kuk is carrying on the Wan’s legacy, keeping the tradition of Chinese-American comfort food alive while making more fresh, in-house dishes than ever before. From wok-fried favorites to sauces from scratch, everything’s cooked fresh to order — just like it’s been for decades.

Some find what works and ride that wave forever. Neither good or bad, just something I’ve noticed throughout the many conversations I’ve had with chefs over the years Pablo told me in the early days of Zitz Sum he started doing “Ramen Thursdays” to help with slow weekdays. Shortly after, a major food publication took notice and called his ramen “arguably the best in the city.” The next week, chef pulled the ramen off the menu. I laughed and told him it made me think of that Kanye West lyric “soon as they like you, make them unlike you cuz kissing people’s asses is so unlike you.” He assured me that mindset has worked out in the long run but not without it’s challenges If you plan to visit Zitz Sums soon, just go for the tasting menu. You won’t be disappointed Follow for more food stories and the people behind them 📲 📍@zitzsum (396 Alhambra Cir Suite 155, Coral Gables, FL 33134)There’s a new Peruvian restaurant in South Florida that comes from the same owners of @bravoperuviankitchen It’s called Bravo Mar and it’s focused on seafood with dishes like arroz con mariscos, ceviche, parihuela, choros a la chalaca and a ton more 📍@bravomardeerfield (1965 NE 2nd St, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441)This South African couple never planned to open a restaurant 🇿🇦 Dutchy’s Gourmet Sausages is a South African market and restaurant offering groceries, meats, and hot food. Izak and Natasha started making biltong and droëwors at home as a result of missing South Africa and being unable to enjoy that food here in South Florida 🌴 I’ve been a fan of this place since I first visited in 2020 and think more folks should explore South African food.

One of his most unique foods on his menu are these chor muang - vibrant purple dumplings deep with flavors that require a lot of patience, effort, and care to make as well as he does. 🇹🇭 There are few places in the world still making these dumplings so if you’re a foodie looking for the next best food to eat, it’s a bucket list item Share this with a friend who loves dumplings 📲 📍@nourthaikitchen (3554 NE 12th Ave, Oakland Park, FL 33334)This Puerto Rican chef opened his restaurant to honor his grandmother 🇵🇷 El Bayu de Wela Sara started at a farmers market here in Hollywood, Florida but quickly grew to their current location.

After many years in other kitchens, Chef Niven Patel opened Ghee himself with 17 credit cards. 8 years later, Patel has earned a following and recognition here in the local Miami community, including the Michelin Bib Gourmand award 4 years in a row. If you plan to visit soon, I suggest their tasting menu as I think it’s great value and introduction to Chef Niven’s style.
