Before Janine Booth and Jeff McInnis were Miami restaurant royalty, they set sail on a fishing trip from South Beach late one sunny afternoon in fall 2013. The day went brilliantly. After laying anchor a mile south of Key Biscayne, McInnis hauled in a hefty snapper and a small grouper…
Johnathan Wakefield has had enough. Enough of the buyouts, enough of facing off against behemoths such as Anheuser-Busch InBev — the global brewing giant that owns Budweiser — and enough of seeing good beers diluted to mediocrity.
This year, get in the holiday spirit by participating in a sugar-filled baking competition at Vizcaya.

Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and good food. However, some families in our community have nothing. This season, the No Kid Hungry’s Friendsgiving campaign allows you to transform your usual day of gluttony into a one filled with giving.
The masses call it Turkey Day, but for anyone who isn’t into eating animals, it’s more like an occasion for turkey appreciation. And if you’d rather opt out of the usual stuffed bird this year, there are plenty of spots in Miami where you can order take-out, buy some premade meals, and eat delicious vegan options instead of the standard fare.
This Thanksgiving, pick up a pie from one of Miami’s sweet spots. These pies are so good they’re guaranteed to keep your relatives’ mouths full long enough to prevent any dreaded political conversations.
Tonight some of Miami’s best chefs and bar owners will gather for Friendsgiving at the Anderson on Miami’s Upper Eastside. Bar Lab’s Gabe Orta and Elad Zvi, co-owners of the Anderson, organized the evening as a substantial way to give back to the community. “We volunteered at a foster children’s place and really got inspired by it. After meeting the children and hearing their stories, we wanted to give back,” Orta says.
Happy Thanksgiving, Miami. This week, the Anderson’s annual Friendsgiving soiree will return, Mana Wynwood will host a massive Thanksgiving block party, and dozens of restaurants will serve turkey day brunch and dinner.

David Foulquier was not your average 8-year-old. Growing up in New York City, he requested dishes at restaurants that “normal 8-year-olds don’t,” he says. And he admired Manhattan restaurateurs for the busy, people-pleasing lives they led. Today, at the age of 27, he operates his own restaurant, Fooq’s, in downtown…
As manager of the Broken Shaker, Gui Jaroschy has a job that’s much bigger than slinging good drinks. The Miami Beach bar, which started as a pop-up by Bar Lab partners Gabe Orta and Elad Zvi, has turned into a national brand. Now that the Broken Shaker has locations in…
