Miami Herald’s Carlos Frías on Cuban Coffee, Edible Iguanas & Winning the James Beard Award


Listen Later

If you want to get to Miami, you could head south on I-95. Or even faster—just go online and read the work of Carlos Frías. He’s the Miami Herald’s food and dining editor and a James Beard Award-winning winning writer. We'd argue that Carlos could also add “travel agent” to his resume, because his writing will transport you to Miami. He writes about the Magic City like only a South Floridian could, from heartfelt stories about the intersection of food and immigration, to the offbeat trend of eating iguana meat. And of course, coffee. Dalia recently chatted with Carlos about all these topics and more.
