I recently visited the 88.9 WDNA Radio studios in Miami to sit with journalist Linda Gassenheimer of Food, News, and Views and discuss the South Florida dining scene and the recent unveiling of my Top 15 Miami Restaurants Palette Awards. 

Who made the list?
How do I choose which restaurants to include?
What happens when a chef leaves a restaurant? Do I change the ranking?
How many times do I visit a restaurant once it’s on my list?
What kind of reader feedback do I receive once a list has been published?
What chef currently has two restaurants listed on the Top 15?
What new restaurant openings am I most looking forward to visiting?

Also featured:

Jacqueline Coleman of History & Wine chats with David Ortiz, the Corporate Beverage Director for Rocco’s Tacos.

Gassenheimer shares her pre-recorded interview with former restaurant critic and New York Times Food Editor Sam Sifton.
