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. If you plan to visit, try the lamb bunny chow, mozambique style prawns, porkbelly lollipops, gatsby, peri peri chicken livers, and biltong snack platter 🔥 Follow for more food stories and the people behind them 📲 📍 @dutchyssausages (401 S State Rd 7, Plantation, FL 33317)He’s making rare 200 year old dumplings by hand every day Edric Espinoza is the owner of Nour Thai Kitchen in Oakland Park, Florida making arguably the best Thai food in all of South Florida. 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. Chef Iram is one of the good ones and previously worked as a chef in many of the luxury hotels here in South Florida. From chuleta can can to mofongo to pasteles, you can find your favorite Puerto Rican food here at the restaurant.

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.

Husband and wife duo, Fouad and Eka Wassel, have been serving traditional Ethiopian food here since 2017. I’ve been a big fan of them and their food since 2020 and can’t say enough good things about their food. If you plan to visit try their doro wot, kitfo, asa goulash, key sir, shiro and awaze tibs.

I didn’t even try the tacos because I wanted to give other dishes the spotlight like their pato con mole and pozole. Chef Hugo is making much of the menu from scratch including salsas, agua frescas, and of course the mole 📍@epazotemexicanrestaurant (6206 N Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308)Ask and I’ll answer as many as I can 👇Chef Alejandra Espinoza is the owner of the first ever Ecuadorian restaurant to be a part of the Michelin Guide.
