When have you had Chili King Crab with torrejitas de choclo in Miami?! Well when two of Miami’s best, ITAMAE x BALLOO, both led by James Beard-nominated chefs, and also 2 of my personal favorites, come together, it is MAGIC.

For their first Studio Sessions, all dishes were a collaboration between Timon Balloo and Nando Chang and their teams, which is basically an amalgamation of their respective cultures and heritage: Trinidadian, Chinese, Indian, and Peruvian. That means gorgeous curry calabaza tiradito, mussels escabeche served with naan, smoked jerk kampachi, and a halo-halo that features pandan-huacatay ice cream, cancha and sweet potato!💥💥💥 It was my first time to try Peruvian natural wines— Peru’s 1st orange and red— specially curated by wine director Karina Iglesias.

Stay tuned for more Itamae Studio Sessions collaborations, and Balloo 2.0!😎😎😎 Congratulations teams— it was truly one of the best collaborations we’ve attended!👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟
SWIPE! 👉

There’s a reason why there’s a lot of talk about the Snapper Milanese at Navé— it is excellent. And so are the Miami clams with medianoche butter (pay attention!!), the Charred Cabbage Caesar with bonito flakes— basically, everything from food and drinks to service and ambiance.🔝💯🎉💫 As if we didn’t know already, Ariete Hospitality is truly a force (and completely homegrown) in the Miami dining scene— with lots more exciting new things in store for us!💥🌟

Also, from now until April 30, you can get the Snapper Milanese plus the Scallops Crudo + Estrella Damm for $55, as part of the Estrella Damm Culinary Journey— a steal in my opinion! 👉👉👉
