The Whet Palette Productions: Miami Food Blog & Podcast
I’m a Cuban-American writer and podcaster passionate about food, wine, and travel. Follow my colorful adventures as I review Miami restaurants and interview local chefs, somms, and others within our food community.
I was raised on traditional Cuban fare like pan cubano, cafecito, and pastelitos. But my current culinary pursuits encompass a broader spectrum of exceptional experiences—from Michelin-starred eats to casual culinary treasures.
Join me on this enriching journey.
