Scroll at your own risk. Serious Miami foodporn ahead.
How to even begin to choose only 30 bites from the many dishes I had throughout the year? I love that it wasn’t easy, and that each photo brought back memories of each experience. This, of course, means Miami continued making this exercise tough on me by once again upping the game. I researched, chose, changed my mind, chose again, and finally committed to a solid 30.
This isn’t a roundup of photos by others found online or a sponsored post. I actually photographed, ate, and paid for every single dish listed. Perhaps you saw them posted on the blog, or on my Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram accounts at some point this year (and I guarantee you will see them again in 2020). Some dishes seem to never leave my list and made a return appearance. I like what I like, #sorrynotsorry. Others are new, but made quite an impression…like the trailblazing # 1 spot.
