"The solo debut by Miami’s own Top Chef winner, Jeremy Ford, Stubborn Seed is a cozy-yet-hip South of Fifth spot turning out some of the city’s most elevated cuisine. While there is a complete a la carte menu with dishes like ricotta gnudi, warm celery root with crispy mushrooms, and smoked prime rib, the real highlight here is the tasting menu, where guests can try a bevy of classics and seasonal creations, plus get some of its melt-in-your mouth gooey snickerdoodle cookies to take home to remember the meal."

"Chef Jeremy Ford's food is as beautiful to view as it is delicious to eat. The menu, available a la carte or as an eight-course tasting menu, changes often, so it's hard to pinpoint one dish to try consistently. But if you're ordering a la carte, don't skip the snacks."

"DIRT Sunset Harbor is a good bet for a healthy brekkie, while Ice Box is known for more decadent morning dishes. Then, make a beeline for the beach to get a good spot in the sand.
