Magic City Flavors & Destinations
On a sunny Saturday morning, I was in a dark mood - too many things going on around me that seemed totally out of my control. I had to get out of the house, stop brooding and do something pleasant and cheap. I needed some onions and potatoes, so I knew exactly where I needed... Continue Reading →
One day I went to a party on a Saturday night, a Jamaican party to be precise. Reggae music was blasting. Children were running around. Women in the kitchen cooking and chatting. Some of the men playing dominoes, others watching cricket on TV; all of them eating something called “cow cod soup”. “What is cow... Continue Reading →
2019 was rather dismal as far as life, in general, was concerned. This was mainly due to the 5 months I spent in between jobs. In spite of this, I was still able to experience and record the usual 12 restaurant visits per year and for that, I am very joyful. The restaurants are listed... Continue Reading →
It was raining, and the last thing I wanted to do was drive anywhere - but I promised. The little one’s boyfriend was coming over, and I said that I would take them to lunch. I had to keep my word. Where could we go that had good food, and covered outdoor seating that would... Continue Reading →
Mister B. suggested that we visit Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen in Wynwood. It's unlike any other Caribbean restaurant I have been to in Miami – so very pretty, elegant in a whimsical kind of way, eclectic and full of flamboyant art on the walls. Color and comfort are two things that strike you when you first... Continue Reading →
I first fell in love with laksa in a hotel room in Brisbane, Australia. I was not in the mood to go down to the dining room, so I ordered room service. Laksa had been on my food bucket list for a while, and this seemed like the perfect occasion to try it. Laksa is... Continue Reading →
I always loved corn pie except for the fact that most of them contained eggs. I was looking for a recipe for the eggless version for a long time. Then, at a potluck at work, my boss brought this as his side dish. Below is the recipe as he gave it to me. I add... Continue Reading →
It is always nice to take a little stroll in a beautiful and unusual neighborhood, replete with art on the walls and a charming atmosphere. We went roaming after an exquisite meal at Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen and the streets were full of tourists and locals alike. This is a description of Wynwood that I lifted... Continue Reading →
It began with a phone call - I wanted to know what time the restaurant started to serve lunch. The gentleman who answered said: “This is Killian Café, we serve everything all day, every day.” I loved the tone of his voice, and I was hooked before I even walked through their doors. The day...

The Miami Greek Festival happens every year in November. Each time I have said that we must go, and each year I have missed it. Not this time! Mister B., the little chicken, her beloved boyfriend and myself, hit the road and drove 9 miles to experience Greek culture firsthand in Miami. The 40th Annual... Continue Reading →
How did we end up in Pubbelly Sushi again? Well, let me tell you. We were supposed to join Mister B., but at the last minute, that was canceled because of the weather. When I informed the little one, she said that she was already dressed and that we needed to go somewhere, no matter... Continue Reading →
I had not been to Miami Beach in ages and I was so glad to be back in this area. Time Out Miami Market is an upscale yet casual food court that offers many food choices for all diners. We visited 4 different stalls and tried food from Vietnam, Perú, Italy, and America, of course.... Continue Reading →
