Giardino Gourmet Salads


Giardino Gourmet Salads was conceptualized by husband and wife team Kenny and Ody Lugo, formally a firefighter and Miami-Dade County school teacher. As a teacher, Ody made sure that her students knew where food really came from.

Her commitment to teaching her students about nutrition and health inspired her to create the concept of a ‘Healthy Fast Food’ restaurant. With no restaurant experience they risked everything for a dream. The Lugo’s are dedicated to bringing healthy, convenient and affordable eating options to South Florida with amazing customer service.

Their commitment of service also extends to the community in participation with charity events and fundraisers. Kenny believes that by giving to the community it will always remind you of where you came from. The pair opened the first Giardino in Coral Gables more than four years ago and they have been blessed enough to have created a healthy eating franchise, now opening its 6th location by the Summer of 2009.

Their all their favorite salads, but the top pick for Ody is of course the Ody’s Toss and for Kenny the Japanese with a scoop of Salmon Capperi.

Burger & Beer Joint

 

Here at Burger and Beer Joint, it is our goal to make you feel apart of our B&B family. Open for a year now, B&B is to say the least, a local success story.

Email: charlie22garcia@gmail.com
 The concept of B&B was created from the ground up, and was built through dedicated, hard-working people that shared the same motivation and vision. Overcoming many obstacles, we have expanded to our now open Brickell location. One of our many goals at B&B was to fill a much needed niche within the Miami area.

It is safe to say that we have filled it as South Beach’s local burger and beer bar that everyone’s talking about. A combination including our energetic employee team ready to serve mouth watering dishes, mixed with a full blown soda fountain serving up egg creams, shakes and adult beverages, sprinkled with our 10lb MAMMOTH burger creates the tri-fecta of B&B.

You can’t get enough of this place, just ask our regulars! Love the South Beach B&B? Then we’re sure you’ll love the Brickell B&B. We made sure both B&B locations capture the unique décor, featuring 120-year-old Chicago brick walls, wooden booths, copper ceilings and outdoor patios. Come see for yourself what everyone is talking about! Buy Restaurant.com Gift Certificates!

A little history....

In Brazil we call GRIMPA the branches of a special type of pine tree, tha "Araucária", very common in the southern region. The "Gauchos" that live in this region traditionally used these dry branches to start their campfires and prepare the "CHURRASCO" while they were out in the "Pampas" with their cattle. Naturally, meat was the main component of these meals.


These Araucárias also have an interesting mythical story. A famous tale from southern Brazil tells the story of a big blue bird whose favorite food was the Araucária nut, every fall this bird would bury the extra pine nuts to eat later that winter. But many of these nuts were forgotten buried and grew up to become these incredible and tall trees.

The Gauchos of southern brazil are also the inspiration for GRIMPAS's style of service, the "Rodizio". Moving about between the tables with their large sword-like skewers they will offer you a taste of this delicious memory of the Pampas.

Blu La Pizzeria del Sole

Courtesy of Miami New Times Blu La Pizzeria del Sole, South Miami

This charming, moderately priced trattorialike pizzeria is a 40-seat (with 30 more chairs outside) spinoff of Trattoria Sole next door. A main benefit from that association is the wine selection, which is far more extensive than one could reasonably expect to find in a pizza place. Panini, focaccia, and half-moon calzone constitute some of the offerings for pizza-poopers, but it's the pies that bring Blú the green.

The blissfully blistering treatment they undergo while baking rapidly in a smoldering hot, wood-burning oven yields a crisp, semicharred crust with thin, bready middle and seared topping of bubbling cheese and tomato sauce. Delicious, and 28 variations from which to choose: spinach/fontina, eggplant/Parmesan, artichoke/mushroom, and anchovies with oregano, a staple in Naples and Rome.

There also are more than a dozen sauceless pizza bianche, which include "tartufon" with mozzarella, mushrooms, and white truffle oil; and "pizza blú," covered in mozzarella, fontina, eggplant, potatoes, and fresh rosemary. The priciest pizza costs $13.50, the average is around $10, but none is more rewarding than the basic fiore di campo of tomato, mozzarella, and basil that's yours to eat in or take out for $7.50.

Rick Munarriz, Contributor comments. In Short – Owned by and adjacent to the upscale Trattoria Sole, Blu specializes in cozy atmosphere. The restaurant's centerpiece is a large wood-fired oven, surrounded by several booths and tables. The additional two-dozen outdoor tables are perfect for people-watching. Is the pizza Chicago style? New York style? Try Italian-style. Hearty toppings like deli ham are piled high on crepe-thin flour crusts. Although pizzas dominate the menu, paninis, calzones and carpaccios also abound.

Caffe Vialetto is a small intimate restaurant with a big restaurant taste and experience. The Latin - Caribbean tinged Italian cuisine is both excellent and consistent and the staff will always treat you like family! This is one of those places that makes you really slow down and taste all the flavors in your mouth before you swallow your food. My personal favorite restaurant in Miami. It's small and inviting, with great service. The food is great. Order anything and you're promised to be blown away by the explosion of flavors in your mouth. And for desert, get The Funk; its impossible to explain but its the best dessert I've ever eaten.
