Florida Food- Vacation Cooking/Eating Adventures part 3- the FINALE
Friday, New Year's Eve in Miami. We had yet to see any water (besides lakes and rivers...) and I cannot go to Miami and not see the ocean! Nick's dad, Alba, and Karina recommended a restaurant on la Calla Ocho (8th street) called Versailles. Another thing that I cannot go without in Miami is Vaca Frita. It is quite possibly my favorite Cuban dish(alongside all of my other favorite Cuban dishes...). Nick's favorite is the Palomilla steak which, is what he ordered.
Blurry Palomilla steak, Moros y Cristianos (black beans and rice), and sweet plantains |
My idea of heaven on a plate. Vaca frita, Moros y Cristianos, and sweet plantains. |
After lunch we drove out to South Beach and then by Dexter's apartment. I am a big time Dexter fan and was hoping to see more landmarks from the show but, it turns out that it is filmed in LA now, lame.
Hello, Dexter Morgan |
Last meal of 2010! |
Apple Fritters- another new addiction |
Saturday morning we left Miami on our return to Columbia. Nick's dad made some cafe con leche for us before we hit the road. After a stop in Kissimmee to see Marisa, Tyler and mom N for lunch we were officially homeward bound.
I have more pictures of food but, they are on Nick's phone so, maybe this isn't the finale of Florida food!
While Nick was sleeping I drove through Atlanta before stopping for a road trip dinner at Krystal. It is close to White Castle but, it is missing the steamed onions and horseradish mustard.
