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!

A candid look at some of the restaurants we visited in July. This episode has it all: a speakeasy omakase, a new and impressive tasting menu, lackluster Mexican eats, rebel sushi, pricey crab, approachable sushi, and even rambunctious Lebanese eats.

It happened! South Florida is officially home to 11 Michelin-starred and 19 Bib Gourmand restaurants. Now that I have decompressed from all the excitement, I am ready to unpack it all for you, as requested.

• Were my predictions correct?
• Who am I happy to see on the Guide's list?
• Is there a restaurant(s) I feel should not be starred yet?
• Who did the Michelin Guide snub? And why?
• And, inquiring minds want to know, why is Los Felix on that list? 
• Which three celebrity chefs are the latest rumored to open next in Miami? 

Also, I answer your questions submitted via Instagram. Buckle up. As usual, I bring you my honest opinion without holding back.
