Larry Carrino, president of Brustman Carrino Public Relations, is the Miami publicist with the stress-inducing distinction of having our host Michael Beltran as his client. Ove the time Larry has been working with Mike, the two have become friends. On this episode of Pan Con Podcast, Mike and Larry talk about food journalism, influencers, social media, food festivals and the ghost kitchens.

In the Patreon-only extended cut, Mike poses an extra five questions to Larry.

David Foulquier is the restaurateur behind Fooq’s, a Miami restaurant built on French-Persian cuisine, and Sushi Noz, the Michelin-starred Manhattan sushi restaurant named for its chef, Abe Nozomu. Pan Con Podcast’s last guest of 2020, David joined Mike at the Ariete Patio for a conversation about his culinary influences, the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, how he found his way into the restaurant business, and the significance of having earned a Michelin star. In a Patreon-exclusive clip, David talks about the differences he’s observed between running restaurants in New York City and Miami.

Ryan Pfeffer of Infatuation Miami joined Michael Beltran and Nicolás Jiménez to talk about his writing career, what he’s learned from covering the Miami restaurant scene and the ethics of freebies. Also on the agenda for the night: butthole tattoos, pasta, and what it might take for Miami to further mature as a food city. Finally, we ask our listeners to give what they can to The Hungry Post’s #FeedTheChain campaign in the memory of a friend of the podcast as the Miami restaurant community by using #LiveLikeMari with their donation message.

Mike Betrán and Nick Jiménez got together to offer their ham-handed, but hopefully helpful update on the protests and repression that have continued after the Nov. 9 arrest of Cuban dissident rapper Denis Solís and other members of Havana's San Isidro Movement.

If you missed our initial discussion of these events, check out this episode from Nov. 30.

Marcus Rivero fell into the shoe customization business almost by accident. Nine years after creating Soles By Sir, athletes in every major sport can be seen wearing his work on their feet on a weekly basis. In fact, during that time, every Super Bowl has had at least one pair of Soles By Sir cleats on the field. Marcus joined Mike Beltran to talk about his business, his design process, what it's like to work with elite athletes — from Marshawn Lynch to Conor McGregor — on their custom gear, the NFL's My Cause My Cleats campaign and how his work has changed his relationship to sports as a fan.

After some charcuterie at the Ariete bar, Brett Romberg joined Michael Beltrán on Pan Con Podcast to talk about his time playing football at the University of Miami, stories from nine years as an NFL offensive lineman, the Fort Lauderdale bikini contest that changed his life, and the adjustments he's made since making the move from Canada to South Florida, where — aside from becoming a national champion — married into a Cuban family, dialed in his Miami Spanish.

It had been a while since we recorded an episode with no guest, so we took this episode to get caught up with Mike on a range of things from business to politics to his overpriced CBS All Access subscription. Also, Nick doesn't throw parties, but they would probably be bad if he did.

A native of Puerto Rico, José Mendín arrived in Miami at 19 years old and fell in love with the city. HIs sushi concept, Pubbelly Sushi, was supposed to be a simple fast casual spot, but circumstances led to an elaboration on the idea and it became one of Miami's favorite dining experiences. It also helped make José — now a five-time James Beard Award semifinalist — one of the most celebrated young chefs in the city and catapulted his career as a restaurateur. José is the chef-owner of restaurants in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Casa de Campo, Mexico City and Paris. In this conversation with Michael Beltrán, José talks about growing up in Puerto Rico, losing a volleyball scholarship, growing his business, and the controversy that came out of his inviting an artist to paint a massive Puerto Rican flag mural at one of his Miami restaurants, La Placita.
