Mr. & Mrs. Bun has been featured on the Food Network, Telemundo51, Miami New Times and Miami Eater (along with receiving well deserved acclaim on Yelp).

Cozy Corner – Cute Breakfast Spot in Miami Springs
Cozy Corner is an old-fashioned mom-and-pop diner that serves breakfast favorites and homestyle comfort food. I happened upon it because Crackers Casual Dining had over an hour wait time. For the record, Cozy Corner was by no means empty – we waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. It appears to be a favorite among the … Continue reading Cozy Corner – Cute Breakfast Spot in Miami Springs
Mama Tried Miami – Retro, Radiant & Rare
Downtown Miami is not exactly the "it" place to go with Brickell, South Beach, and Wynwood dominating the nightlife scene. Although, it has added a reason to venture out to the area with Mama Tried – a new upscale, retro dive bar channeling those of Vegas back in the day. The light-up … Continue reading Mama Tried Miami – Retro, Radiant & Rare
Jaguar Latin-American Kitchen
Jaguar Latin-American Kitchen was the first place that introduced me to ceviche and I quite possible could not have chosen a better place to do so. Jaguar has always been ahead of its time – it is a place that seems like it would reside in New York or LA, but shines bright … Continue reading Jaguar Latin-American Kitchen
Siamo Ristorante & Pizzeria – Italian Mom and Pop in Miami Springs
Siamo Ristorante & Pizzeria was just what I needed after a long week of work. The ambiance was cozy, welcoming, and made me feel like I was no longer in Miami. We sat in the open air and for the length of our dinner I was in an Italian state of mind. I usually … Continue reading Siamo Ristorante & Pizzeria – Italian Mom and Pop in Miami Springs
Maido Japanese Restaurant – Faultless, Fast, & Fresh
My father always boasts of his lovely sashimi lunches at Maido Japanese Restaurant. I finally got to go and revel in its authenticity and freshness. This is not the place for fancy, Americanized sushi rolls – it is, however, a laid-back restaurant where locals and tourists go for fresh fish. I would say it … Continue reading Maido Japanese Restaurant – Faultless, Fast, & Fresh
Crackers Casual Dining – Blissful & Booming Brunch
I have been to Crackers Casual Dining a couple of times now and I always enjoy it. The tropical patio layout, live entertainment, and homey Southern-inspired fare distinguishes it from all the brunch spots in the city. The relaxed atmosphere is popular among locals, understandably so. We chose Crackers for our Sunday brunch … Continue reading Crackers Casual Dining – Blissful & Booming Brunch
Basilico – Best Italian Restaurant in Doral
For Mother's Day we decided to dine at our beloved Basilico. I rarely eat Italian food – but when I do, Basilico is the go-to. They make my absolute favorite pasta dish (and I went to Rome & Venice) – it is called Ravioli di Gorgonzola e Pera con Salsa di Fico (Fatti in Casa); the blend … Continue reading Basilico – Best Italian Restaurant in Doral

For those of you craving Korean food, but not sure where to get it – Bistro Bulgogi is just the place for you. It's a mom-and-pop restaurant located in a Doral strip mall with a loyal fanbase of customers. I heard about it from one of my neighbors and now I must share with everyone!

Kamiko Sushi Bar (Doral) – The Vincent van Gogh of Sushi
I have been to Kamiko Sushi Bar (Doral), I believe, 3 times now. I went yesterday to celebrate the offering and acceptance of a new job and it was better than I remembered it. I would have never thought that Doral would have great sushi, but it does; I mean, Doral has expanded leaps and bounds; … Continue reading Kamiko Sushi Bar (Doral) – The Vincent van Gogh of Sushi
