Review Digest: Bourbon Steak Gets A Thumbs Up
• Enrique Fernandez gives Marinheiro two-and-a-half stars, although he says the Portuguese restaurant needs a focused identity. [Miami Herald]
• The steaks at Bourbon Steak are poached in butter. The lamb in olive oil. The pork in bacon lard. Oh yeah, and the fries in duck fat. We're not sure we could handle so much decadence. Actually, we probably could. [Miami New Times]
• Fork on the Road visits L'Arte Bianco Bakery, which specializes in Peruvian and French confections, in addition to a few Persian breads. That's because the owners are a Peruvian husband and Persian wife team who took classes in French baking as undergrads in Los Angeles. [Miami Herald]
• The celebrity chefs who were here for the festival mentioned San Loco Taqueria, Joe's Stone Crab, Prime One Twelve and Casa Tua as go-to spots, but Table 8 was the consensus favorite. [Miami Herald]
• Rochelle Koff finds The Jib Room to be a fun place. We're thinking of stopping by just for a slice of that pistachio pound cake, which sounds heavenly. [Miami Herald]
• Stick to the basics at Macchiato Boutique Restaurant, which is trying hard but still feels amateurish. [Miami New Times]
• Gail Shepherd celebrates Fidel's stepping down with a meal at Little Havana. [Broward-Palm Beach New Times]
