I’ve been going to @545banhmicafe since the beginning of Josiah Eats and have been fortunate enough to get to know Minh and what he’s doing not just here but also at @phobarofficial. If it’ll be your first time visiting, obviously you have to get a banh mi but I also love their pre-made box lunches like the pork and rice, their sugarcane juice, coconut smoothie, and fried donut Follow for more good people behind great food 📲 📍@545banhmicafe (6461 Stirling Rd, Davie, FL 33314) #foodieGot to film again with @chefalejandraec at her Ecuadorian restaurant @cotoa.rest for my YouTube channel 🎥 If you haven’t been to Cotoa yet, it’s a must visit. Alejandra spent years training and working in France and has brought all that experience to Miami with Cotoa. Chef calls her food “Ecuadorian born, globally inspired” and it’s all the little details that make her food and style so interesting and unique Video will be out at the end of this month ▶️ 📍@cotoa.rest (12475 NE 6th Ct, North Miami, FL 33161)Word on the street is Tabanka has the best doubles in South Florida 👀 Tabanka is a Trinidadian restaurant where you can find aloo pies, curry duck, pholourie, fresh chutneys, and more. For me, it’s my favorite Trinidadian restaurant in South Florida. If you haven’t been yet, check them out and make sure to order a doubles Follow for more stories of good people behind great food 📲 📍@tabanka_a_trini_kitchen (1645 S State Rd 7, North Lauderdale, FL 33068) #foodieIf you want great Vietnamese food in South Florida, check out @saigonesefood. The owner, Thai, wanted to make traditional Vietnamese food like back home. While they do have pho here and it is very good, Thai will tell you it’s not the focus. So if you come, have the lemongrass grilled pork. P.S. they will be open Thanksgiving Day if you’re looking for somewhere to eat Follow for more food stories and the people behind them 📲 📍@saigonesefood (2692 N University Dr # 2, Sunrise, FL 33322) #foodie #foodiesFusion places usually aren’t my first choice but @chilelimonfusion is doing a great job with their food. Raul comes from Mexico but also loves Peruvian food so you can find seco de res tacos, ceviche tostadas, and aji de gallina enchiladas all with handmade tortillas and fresh squeezed lime juice. Try the ceviche tostadas, quesabirria and coconut limonada Follow for more food stories and the people behind them 📲 📍@chilelimonfusion (1924 Tyler St, Hollywood, FL 33020) #foodie #foodstory #foodIf 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.

The kha moo palo is the must order. I didn’t get to try any of the noodles or curries but I’ll definitely will next time.

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.
