QUICK HITS:
♦ The Miami Herald mentioned in passing last week that Thomas Keller (Per Se, The French Laundry, Bouchon) may be considering Miami for a future location. The food blogs gorged on this news like foie gras. A Keller spokesperson told the Herald that, “[w]hile there have been discussions of possible opportunities in Miami, nothing has been finalized.” Remember the rumors about Mario Batali coming to Miami? Me neither.
♦ Miami.com has talk of the return of Eismann. Q: I thought he was fin?
♦ culturedesigners has an in-depth interview with one of the minds behind Pancho Taco, the low-riding and immobile taco station wagon that now resides out back of Wood Tavern in Wynwood.
♦ The Harding Dinner Series, which is held over at the old Chowdown Grill and current Josh’s Deli location in Surfside, builds upon the success of the first series (feat. Chef Jeremiah) with a week of meals served up by former Top Cheffer Andrew D’Ambrosi. Short Order goes behind the scenes. The dinners only run from June 7th to the 10th, so it’s a quickfire challenge (TOP CHEF JOKE! HIGH FIVE!).
