Meet Your Bartender: Nathan Rogers of Tamarina

Tamarina Head Bartender Nathan Rogers with his dachshund, Sommer.

A few months back, we sat down with Tamarina Head Bartender Nathan Rogers to discuss the restaurant, an Italian/Mediterranean concept that had just opened on 600 Brickell Avenue. After our brief talk, there was no doubt in our minds that we would become happy hour regulars. The second you sit at the bar and are greeted by Nathan, you feel right at home.

We met up with Nathan again to find out more about him: what led him to bartending, how he stays at the top of his game and what his future plans are. You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who’s as passionate about his craft as he is. That’s why we had to interview him.

Help Tootsie Get a Set of Wheels!

Special Feature March 4, 2015

We’re teaming up again with Compassionate Pug Rescue this month to help Tootsie, a special needs pug. She has degenerative back disease that affects her hind legs and makes moving difficult. Fortunately, there’s something we can all do to help her out.

Beef Jerky from The Local Craft Food & Drink in Coral Gables

This is Tootsie. She’s a tiny, beautiful girl around 6-7 years old. She’s full of love and enjoys getting and giving kisses! She’s considered special needs as her back legs don’t work so well. Tootsie is able to scoot around using her front legs and will hopefully be receiving her wheels soon! For more information on this sweet girl, visit her adoption page.

#FindMeAHomeFriday is a campaign by Compassionate Pug Rescue and Miami Food Pug to help South Florida pugs find a forever home. Each Friday, we will be photoshopping a rescue pug available for adoption into an MFP food picture. For more details, visit the campaign page.

Compassionate Pug Rescue and Miami Food Pug Team Up for #FindMeAHomeFriday

Here at Miami Food Pug, we love three things: Miami, food and pugs. This month, we wanted to take some time to focus on our love for pugs. There are many pugs out there that need a forever home, and we wanted to make sure they got the love they deserved.

We reached out to Compassionate Pug Rescue and asked them if they’d like to team up for a rescue campaign. As a result, #FindMeAHomeFriday was born.

Oyster fans have a new Miami eatery to visit and dig into their favorite mollusk: Midtown Oyster Bar. Helmed by Angelo Masarin of Salumeria 104 fame, MOB brings an exceptional — and extensive — New England oyster menu to the bustling Midtown Miami neighborhood; touches of Mediterranean and Latin influence have been brought along for the ride as well. We had a chance to try out some of the menu and speak with Masarin himself about the new concept.
