Going Bananas. If you're a farmer down here, you know them. I went there in the middle of the pandemic. They weren't actually open, but I ended up getting a hold of them and it was only a tiny order of three plants. I ended up chatting with her and the level of which she interacted with me and shared her knowledge and her passion for what they do was a stoke, the same as you guys.

Hate Mondays. I just ask Carl every time I go there, ‘what do you think I should get today?’ He gives me a recommendation, and if it doesn't sound appealing to me, he says how he can switch it up with this or that. He really goes the extra mile to make sure you're eating what you like. I like Kampai on Sunset and 87th avenue. Even their Thai food is amazing. But, The Biltmore brunch is hands down my number one recommendation. It's not your regular buffet.

We're members of the Coconut Grove Sailing Club and there's a restaurant there and it's so beautiful that it wouldn't even matter what food they were serving just to be there and looking out over the water is lovely. We have a little sailboat there. That's really nice.

I don't really go to too many restaurants. I like simple spots and farmer's markets.

We take out fish from Captains Tavern. We've been going there for decades. We'll get take out from the Daily Bread. And, the kids are big fans of Power Pizza. They like plain cheese pizza and Harlow loves garlic bread. They make a high protein dough.

We go to a lot of family friendly restaurants around Pinecrest. The kids love the margarita pizza at Piola. I get the lasagna; it's heavy but delicious. We also go to Flanagan's, which is probably the most kid-friendly restaurant in Miami.

For sushi restaurant, I'd say Matsuri is one of my favorites in the South Miami. Obviously, LAN PAN Asian. I am a huge fan and it's right next to me. I've been going there for a long time. I like Italian food. Sapore Di Mare in the Grove is very good. In the back, it's so nice and quiet. Also, the Fish House, on Miller, on Thursdays has a blues night, which I frequently attend. I'm a music lover and a huge blues fan.

What local restaurants or businesses do you recommend?
I’m vegan, so I really like Mediterranean foods. I like Daily Bread’s salad bar. In Midtown, the Love Life Café, and in Wynwood – Della Bowls. There’s a lot more vegan food coming out now that is not just salad. As a vegan, people think that’s all we eat.

My favorite is definitely Ghee. We go there a lot. Their green millet is awesome and the sticky date cake. And, of course, Jackson Hall. My old standby is always a green bowl at Della Bowls.

Paulo Luigis for pizza. It's on Bird Ave. And there's the new Kush, where Spillover was.
