The Cubano Burger at Umami Burger tastes like gravy-topped chicharrón. The grease-ridden concoction pairs a pork patty with a lightly toasted bun. Shaved ham, pineapple mustard, and molten cheese crown the fatty swine, summoning images of Havana, Hawaiian pizza, and heartburn. Each nibble makes your lips gleam and your fingers…
Elsie Chin flips a pancake over a hot griddle and delivers the thin bread to a woman sitting at the counter. “There are no forks here,” Chin says with a toothy grin. “So if you been scratching somewhere, you better go wash your hands.” At L.C. Roti Shop, a teeny…
Short Order was recently invited to De Rodriguez Cuba on Ocean to check out updates to the menu. It had been awhile since our last visit to the luxury Cuban restaurant helmed by the “Godfather of Nuevo Latino Cuisine,” chef Doug Rodriguez, so we were excited to taste the changes…
When Curbed and exMiami.org reported last week that Pasha’s on Lincoln Road would be closing soon, lovers of healthful, affordable, quick, and easy food — a rarity on South Beach — cried out with concern. But Short Order is here to set the record straight and calm your falafel-induced fears…
When the news was announced that Richard Hales was opening a Chinese restaurant, Miamians breathed a collective sigh of relief. After all, Miami is one of the few major cities that has a dearth of good, well-priced Chinese restaurants. (We even found a mini Chinatown in Rome.) Although Hales, a…

Miamians are fortunate enough to have access to fresh seafood year-round, but when summer hits, the need for light, refreshing fish and shellfish becomes almost a necessity. We rather munch down on ceviche and shrimp cocktails than baby back ribs and baked potatoes when the temperature hits 90 degrees –…
Chicken and waffles are a soul food combination embraced as that perfect duo for those wee hours between dinner and breakfast. In Miami, the party doesn’t stop until late the next morning, so now the hungry and the hungover have a place to call home on Sunday mornings/afternoons…
It’s pretty clear you enjoyed last evening’s Iron Fork and Miami Spice Kickoff, presented by the Downtown Development Authority. How do we know? By the awesome Instagram photos you took! And you guys got creative! From night shots of the beautiful venue, to selfies with clown noses, to the food…

As promised, it was a great battle at the Adrienne Arsht Center last evening as two of Miami’s most talented chefs competed at Miami New Times’ Iron Fork and Miami Spice Kickoff, presented by the Downtown Development Authority. Jamie DeRosa of Tongue & Cheek and Giorgio Rapicavoli of Eating House…

NeMesis Urban Bistro, the whimsical restaurant dreamt up by chef Micah Edelstein, features a menu that takes you not only around the world but also around the zoo. In the same vein that Edelstein brings us tuscan sushi, she also brings us far beyond the standard petting zoo of meats…
What you need is a game plan. Miami New Times’ Iron Fork starts at 6 p.m. tonight, launching four hours of eating and drinking from the stations of over 45 restaurants. So here’s a guide to your feast, featuring each dish that will be served…
July is usually a slow month in Miami. Overly warm days make us feel torpid, wanting only to wait in a humidity-induced semi-coma for August to bring Miami Spice and the relief of dining frugally in air-conditioned restaurants. But, this summer’s seen an incredible amount of activity, with many restaurants…
Iron Fork and the official kick-off for Miami Spice, presented by the Downtown Development Authority, is this evening at the Adrienne Arsht Center and it promises to be the event of the summer. There’s something for everyone at Iron Fork…
When Top Chef hottie Fabio Viviani was in town for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, he mentioned that he was opening a restaurant in Miami. Now, Chicago Business is reporting that Viviani and partners DineAmic Group of Chicago are bringing Siena Tavern to South Beach, with plans to…
When we heard Jeff McInnis had parted ways with Yardbird Southern Table & Bar, we were shocked. After all, it was barely two years ago that the young chef opened the restaurant in a partnership with 50 Eggs. But those two years were packed with accolades and milestones. As soon…
Wilkinson Sejour plunks his brawny arms on a paper-scattered desk, grins mischievously, and asks his buddy, who’s smoking a blunt, to fetch him a Corona. It’s a Wednesday at 11 a.m., and Sejour’s cell phone rings every five minutes. When he answers, his words jumble Calle Ocho slang with Kreyol…
Chef Richard Hales’ Sakaya Kitchen has a far-reaching fan base. Sure, Miamians clamor for his honey-orange baby-back ribs and his insanely addictive “chunk’d” spicy cheesy kalbi beef tater-tots. But the chef, who is a protégé of Jean-Georges Vongerichten and was the opening chef of the Asian station at Café Sambal…
Move over, corporate coffee chains and crappy pizza joints — Urban Oxy has moved into South Beach. The locally focused café serves cold brew, homemade pizza-by-the-slice, and fresh-baked pastries — much-needed additions to the tourist-trap-ridden Washington Avenue. The rapidly expanding chain opened its downtown branch a few months ago and…
