As a self-proclaimed foodie, I am always on the lookout for a new innovative restaurant or a good steady Eddie. On the average weekend, I have a within 30 minutes of home time requirement. There are a few places on this list that are outside that limit - they are worthy! My requirements have changed a bit in the past couple of years after being diagnosed with Celiac disease, so most of these do a good job providing good options that don’t induce a reaction. I have also included a few that, although not great for me, still deserve a mention.

Eating out is one of the only things I will frequently spend my money on because a good meal, good ambiance with people I care about, to me, means more than buying some overpriced designer item. I don’t like overpaying for food but will pay for something that has value. These recs might not all be Miami exactly, some may be Broward, but I do genuinely feel passionately you will have a good experience at these restaurants.

I moved to Detroit when my husband and I were starting to get serious. He used to live right next to Comerica Park—back in the day, I could just say “the building with the whales on it,” but sadly, that mural has since been covered up. A few years before we we got married, he bought our first home in the Woodbridge neighborhood, and now we’re living in a beautiful 1890s Victorian in Midtown. One of the best parts about living in the city is being so close to so many amazing restaurants! Here are some of our favorite brunch spots in Detroit. Since we have an almost 4-year-old, we tend to stick to places that are family-friendly and easy to enjoy with a little one in tow.
