Kicking off the podcast's Season 2 with a close look at some of the Miami restaurants we recently visited and you, the listener, wanted to hear about the most.

55. Brasserie Laurel
56. Beauty and the Butcher
57. QP Tapas
58. Rancho Patel
59. Eating House
60. Tambourine Room

As usual, we candidly review each restaurant without holding back. Which one will earn a Michelin star? Which one can possibly score two?  Which experience had us obsessing over its salad?  Did a cold sweet potato dish really impress us?  Where can you find a temporary pop-up we are still craving? Who, exactly, is "the beauty?" Tune in to find out.

The PALETTE AWARDS are for the TOP 22 MIAMI RESTAURANTS I feel offer the most well-rounded and top experiences. I reserved, ordered, photographed, ate, and paid at these restaurants. No one asked nor paid me to do so. Supporting our local restaurants brings me joy, and I am passionate about Miami’s food scene. Did your favorite make my list?

Use this as a reference when making your next reservation, and as a springboard to keep the conversation about Miami restaurants going.

Listen in as I chat with Miami chef Pedro Mederos of Kojin (now rebranded as The Chef's Counter at Hachidori Ramen). From South Florida to California's wine country and everything in between (culinary school, Taco Bell, love, Singlethread, Alter, dumplings, Miami diners, omakase, Michelin, D&D, Pokemon, and babies), we discuss it all. Phew! Got that?

Up close and personal with Miami Chef Timon Balloo. Listen in as we take a deep dive into all things Balloo. How did food shape his life, and guide his journey to where it is today? Take a look behind the curtains as he bares all during this candid, heartfelt, and spirited interview.

What exactly is lunchbox culture? Does he eat to live or live to eat? What is it about black coffee? Who killed Ling Ling? What does he love to order at Panera? Who is the teacher who danced her way into his mouth? How does he feel about the Michelin Guide's arrival?  What is the best Miami dinner he's ever had? What is next for The Katherine, and is there a Balloo 2.0 on the horizon? Want answers? Tune in!
