Our go-to place with the kids is LAN in Dadeland station. The food is good, the kids love the chicken katsu and smoothies, and, most of all, the people are really nice and great with kids (the fast service helps!). We also think Anna Capri has wonderful Italian food. And recently we’ve discovered Ichimi Ramen near Miracle Mile. The food is great for adults and kids.

I like Talavera restaurant in Coral Gables. It's a Mexican restaurant, but it's not your typical Mexican food. And, they have awesome margaritas and guacamole. I like to order the Swiss enchiladas. And, in my opinion, the best pizza and Philly cheesesteak can be found at A Little Bit of Philly in Miami Springs. I like Cafe Italia. It has a very nice ambiance, delicious food and my favorite dish is the Ravioli Amatricianna.

Bombay Darbar: Mango Curry chicken and Butter Chicken. Threefold Cafe: Everything! (but seriously: Smashed Avo, Chickie Babe, Beef short rib). Don Gloton: Chicken cachapa and reina pepiada arepa.

I love Bangkok City on Bird Road - it is a tiny sushi restaurant. It's a small family restaurant and I always feel welcome there and they have such great sushi. I support Brewing Buddha cafe, the art house coffee shop. The owners are wonderful. I've actually run into them at the farmer's market before. Supporting small businesses seems more important now than ever.

I like a place called Fratelli La Bufala. It's the most authentic Italian food I've found in Miami. I get the pizza napolitana and just a bowl of homemade pasta. If you haven't been, you've got to try it.

For Thai:Bangkok City – everything is good. Especially the fried rice and the peanut sauce. The peanut salad is incredible. Origins on the Key is also great. They have a bunch of different cuisines - Thai, Malaysian, Japanese – but it’s not fusion. They have different dishes from each style. The Malaysian roti is really good. For Tacos: El Toro Taco – we get everything, it’s all well made, and you can’t go wrong. Las Carnitas – the mole is real. You would never pull over and think to eat there. It is a little window with seating on 8th street. You need to be taken there.

We went to Babes Meat and Counter. I was reading their story in your newsletter. We've also been to Ayesha's Indian restaurant on US1. We've been to Tani Thai and Rumi - their hummus is fabulous. We also go to Sushi Rock. And, my wife cooks a lot in the house, so we're going to Whole Foods and Fresh Market.
