With an inherited passion for cooking but no formal training, Hutson was reticent to take the role at her friend s new venture. After some prodding and plenty of unwavering support for her home-cooked meals she acquiesced, taking the helm of the meager 100-square-foot kitchen to offer Jamaican-inspired fare in the heart of Miami Beach. It was all his fault, Hutson says of her introduction into life as a professional chef. I cried every day for three months straight in the beginning. It was such hard work, and I didn t really know that I was doing anything right. Things changed after
In those days, Delius had his eye on Miami s burgeoning South Beach scene, Hutson tells
New Times. When he asked her to assist with finding a location for his dream endeavor, she helped, finding an affordable space off Lincoln Road. When it came time to build the menu, Delius asked Hutson for her help once again this time to be the chef at the eatery he named after his mother.

Today, Sam Calagione tells
New Times, he s especially thankful to be launching his latest endeavor with the opening of the Miami brewpub after more than a year since the globally recognized brand announced it would be taking over the Concrete Beach Brewing space in the heart of Wynwood. We began brainstorming our brewing and menu concepts and the area s potential for local partnerships back in 2020, Calagione says. We did our best to roll with the punches through the pandemic and make lemonade or beer out of the lemons or starfruit thrown our way.
Calagione s lemons-to-starfruit comparison is a nod to one of his favorite new brews, the Star Pucker, a sour IPA infused with locally grown fruit sourced by the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences. The beer, made especially for Miami, is a perfect example of the brewery s growing partnerships with a number of local businesses and other organizations throughout the Miami community. For ever
