Wag Wednesday: Eli Jackson & Champ

wag-wednesday

Over the past year, 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 Eli Jackson, Executive Chef at STK Miami Beach, and his pup, Champ. Read more

#FindMeAHomeFriday: Pepper – Nikki Beach

Find-Me-A-Home---Nikki Beach---Pepper

Bacon Bloody Mary from Nikki Beach on Miami Beach

Hey everyone! This is Pepper. He is 11 years old, but young at heart. He loves walking around the house and outside when his doggy arthritis isn’t bothering him. He takes medicine to help him out and gives no problems when taking it. He enjoys lying in his bed and taking comfy naps. He really loves meeting new people and gets along with everyone he meets.

For more information on this handsome fella, visit his adoption page.

P.S. If you are not able to adopt him and would like to be his foster angel, please make a donation in his name! He is one of many seniors who sadly end up in a shelter — but thankfully CPR is there for old fellas like him!

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

Barceloneta: Did We Just Become Best Friends?

Barceloneta - Barceloneta

When we visited Barceloneta for a media dine a few weeks back, we weren’t expecting much. The Sunset Harbour restaurant, which specializes in Spanish Mediterranean cuisine, has been a staple of the area since 2011, but we just never had any urge to stop by; our “just-okay” experience at their now-shuttered South Miami location probably had something to do with it.

But life is all about second chances, right? Well, we’re glad we went back. Little did we know that we would enjoy one of our favorite meals of 2016 here — and one that had us immediately asking, “Did we just become best friends?”
