A local fast-casual Caribbean restaurant has plans to expand this year with a food truck and a brick-and-mortar location.
Husband-and-wife team Christian and Sabrina Dominique opened Manjay the name is the Haitian Creole word for food in 2019. Located inside the Citadel food hall in Miami s Little River neighborhood, the eatery offers Caribbean cuisine with a modern twist. Not to be biased, but I often say that Caribbean flavors are the best flavors out there, Christian Manjay tells
New Times. My wife and I travel a lot in the Caribbean, and we are crazy foodies. In Miami, we felt there was something we could offer that would be different than what you typically see at a traditional Caribbean restaurant. Manjay is really a combination of our general love of modern cuisine and of the authentic Caribbean flavors we grew up eating. Nothing compared to the flavors of home.
The company launched in San Francisco in 2018, and also serves Charlotte, North Carolina. In late 2020, it opened a waitlist in Raleigh and in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Farmstead Miami waitlist signup is available to the first 1,000 customers on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers can sign up for the Miami waitlist by visiting farmstead.vip/miami. Service is slated to begin in late March or early April and will be available to most of Miami-Dade County as well as parts of Broward.
Elankumaran says the Farmstead model is able to keep prices low by sourcing directly from wholesalers while leveraging proprietary technology to increase efficiency.
William Bonhorst, founder and CEO of Man vs Fries, considers himself a connoisseur of French fries.
Now the self-made restaurateur wants to introduce Miami to his next-level fry game. A foodie at heart, Bonhorst decided to take his background in technology and consulting for startups to build and scale a concept the same way he would a tech company. The challenge: Take his favorite food, remove the brick-and-mortar aspect, and build a brand based on a 100 percent digital platform. As a kid, my fondest memories revolved around food as a child, Bonhorst tells
New Times. Fries were the main attraction. I often ate just French fries and my mother would force me to eat burgers or chicken nuggets or chicken sandwiches, so I obliged but I really only wanted the fries. It was that innate desire of: Why not? Why not fries in a burger? Why not fries in a sandwich? Why not fries as the main course?
Anyone looking to exercise, drink beer, do some good for the oceans, and otherwise have fun should check out Tripping Animals Brewing this weekend.
As a component of its efforts to be a part of the community, the Doral brewery recently partnered with Miami-based Better Me Movement, a fitness-training outfit that s also dedicated to solving the major threats to the oceans; and local artist Max Guevara, to create a weekend of art, exercise, and fun.
The event will take place at 6 p.m. this Saturday, January 30, at Tripping Animals Brewing in Doral. Activities will include an education station that will explain more about Better Me Movement and share material about ocean pollution, an outdoor DJ set beginning at 8 p.m. to close, and merchandise. On Sunday the event will continue with a Better Me Movement boot camp at 11 a.m., followed by fairground games and a closing speech from a yet-to-be-announced special guest.
Our goal with Ojo de Agua is to offer a flavorful, healthy Mexican-inspired menu. Our concept allows us to create some of the most popular Mexican dishes in a healthier way, all while preserving the rich flavors and taste of the cuisine that the world loves so much, Jorge Estrada tells
New Times. For example, chilaquiles are usually fried but ours are baked. We have also incorporated a lot of vegetables into recipes that traditionally have very few or none, like our octopus tacos that have sautéed kale.
Jorge s favorite dish on the Miami menu: the atún spicy deli sandwich. The sandwich combines a seared tuna steak with caramelized onion and beets and is served on a toasted bun with the restaurant s homemade spicy mayonnaise.
