It is very unusual for me to feature a place that specializes in desserts, but a dear coworker, Miss Nia, was so raving about The Salty Donut that I decided to go visit the shop in South Miami. We went early on a Saturday morning, beating the crowd that they are famous for. The little […]

La Mar by Gastón Acurio has always had a special place in my heart. This restaurant combines 3 things that I especially love – Peruvian cuisine, outdoor seating by the sea, and exceptional service.
