Michelin Man Headed To South Florida

geoffrey zakarian.jpg Geoffrey Zakarian might be headed to Miami. The New York restaurateur is slated to oversee restaurant operations at a new hotel called Dream South Beach, which will combine the Tudor and the Palmer House at 11th and Collins. Here's what South Beach USA has to say about it:

Dream South Beach will be a high-end, luxury boutique hotel and will contain two food and beverage establishments including a ground-floor restaurant and a glass-enclosed roof-top lounge offering a sophisticated and relaxing environment.

Michelin Star chef Geoffrey Zakarian, formerly of “44″ in the Royalton Hotel in New York and currently chef of “Town” at the Chambers Hotel in Midtown and “Country” in the Carlton Hotel near Madison Square Park will be overseeing restaurant operations at Dream South Beach.

The roof-top lounge will be administered by David Rabin, a principle of 360 Hospitality which operates lounges, bar and restaurants in New York.

Zakarian received a single Michelin star for Country, although he's no longer affiliated with the restaurant. This won't be his first time in the area — Zakarian had a brief stint as executive chef at Blue Door in 1995.
