If you've ever read any article, anywhere pertaining to 'America's Best Food Spots,' or 'America's Favorite Restaurants,' you've probably noticed that Miami restaurants are never featured. Being a 'foodie' myself, I've always wondered why Miami just never makes the cut. I've grown up here and I just refuse to believe that Miami dining has nothing to offer. That being said, I've recently made it my personal goal to discover what this South Florida food cuisine lacks, what it excels in, and what it really tastes like.
