Since starting the blog, we’ve interviewed many members of the hospitality industry, and one constant among the interviewees has been a profound love for their pets. We thought it would be great to share this love with our readers.

That’s why we launched an ongoing feature called “Wag Wednesday” to showcase industry peeps and their pets. Know someone who wants to be featured? Email us at bark@miamifoodpug.com.

This week, we’re featuring Johnny and Ainsley Tsokos, Owners of Cream Parlor, and their Maltipoo, Lamb Chop . Read more

La Mar: New Menu Items + Old Favorites = A Good Time

Brickell, Review December 1, 2016January 3, 2017Arroz Verde, Big Whole Fish, Candy Tuna, Chaufa Aeropuerto, chef diego oka, diego oka, dinner, Fuente Cebichera, Gastón Acurio, la mar, La Mar by Gaston Acurio, mandarin oriental, Mini Express Lunch Box, new menu, peruvian, Pork Omochi, Quinoa Tamal, Salmon Fusion, Soft Shell Crab Taco, Tiradito Bachiche, Veal Cheeks with Pallares

If you were to ask us where to go for brunch on a Sunday, La Mar by Gastón Acurio at the Mandarin Oriental would be one of our first recommendations. The Brickell Key restaurant’s brunch, which we tried last year, was — and continues to be — one of the best weekend deals in town. An extensive buffet spread and unlimited pisco sours? Yes, please.

But it wasn’t until a few weeks ago that we finally stopped in for dinner. Chef Diego Oka has been traveling the globe lately, and he’s come back and put all that worldly inspiration onto the plate. We were fortunate enough to take part in a 12-course affair that highlighted classic La Mar dishes as well as some new additions (shout out to Chef Oka for the hand-written menu).

Twelve courses is a lot, so we’ll keep this short and sweet. Cue the food porn.
