The county is completely disorganized, the government is completely corrupt and out for personal agendas rather than public benefit, and everything is insanely overpriced. What happened to retiring in South Florida?? The rudeness is what takes the cake for me though.

It puts in perspective how rude people can be, how disorganized the county is and how overpriced and superficial all these restaurants can be. It was pretty horrible before moving near the Brickell corridor.FeatherInHisHathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559859474234102410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360180337648262818.post-91147395609217439442009-05-07T10:47:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:47:00.000-04:00L2M - If the food is stellar, none of it really ma...L2M - If the food is stellar, none of it really matters, subject to one qualifier: if the menu never changes, I'm unlikely to go back very frequently even if the food is great.<br /><br />There are clearly some chefs/restaurateurs who are very good at the spin-off game. Others possibly not so much (reports coming from Gotham Steak in the Fontainebleau suggest Portale may not be cut out for it).

Does it really matter that we're not getting the talent (at least not the originator) and only the name and menu if the food, service, etc. are good? If you had no idea about the Psilakpia venture and you just walked into this place blind and the food was stellar, does it really matter that Michael Psilakis isn't in the kitchen?LAX2MIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09498412692653296012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360180337648262818.post-3801720472294454602009-05-06T22:50:00.000-04:002009-05-06T22:50:00.000-04:00True Frod, it is silly to slap the hand that feeds...True Frod, it is silly to slap the hand that feeds you.

Ive lived here for 8 years and my saying is always, "51% of me likes it here, 49% wants to get the hell outta here." Miami is not an easy place to re-acclimate to, especially coming from the Northeast where life moves faster, people are more polite, and food/drink amongst other consumables are far less expensive.
