Foodies Who Review South Florida Food Guides and Special Content
This isn’t just another “where to eat” list.
It’s the product of years of on-the-ground dining, obsessive documentation, and constant refinement by locals who actually live and eat here. Since 2018, we’ve been building a living archive of South Florida’s food scene — combining real-world restaurant visits, community-sourced tips, media research, and ongoing category-by-category tracking.
Think of this post as your hub. Begin with the State of the Union for a broad overview, then delve into Closures, Survival, and If This Goes On to grasp the forces driving the scene. From there, our cuisine-specific guides give you the where, why, and how to actually eat better — whether you’re chasing the last great dim sum, plotting a taco crawl, or hunting for the rare Israeli café that nails both hummus and atmosphere.
