    Miami-born, Argentine-Italian, two-time James Beard Award semifinalist, Forbes’ “30 Under 30 List," and first-ever Miami contestant to win Chopped...twice. No big deal. Giorgio Rapicavoli reflects on his culinary journey. From the early days of the wild startup pop-up days of Eating House, he has matured into the chef and owner of Eating House 2.0 and Luca Osteria in Coral Gables. We discuss his new project, Mayfair Grill, where he now leads the kitchen and the plans for its future. In this episode, we explore his passion for wine, Italy, and his newfound path to fitness. We also reminisce about what it's like growing up in the 305 and discover why he loves Miami. Raised in Dade? Ya bet. There’s even talk of freestyle and good ole Miami booty bass.

    Send us a text

    Daniel Figueredo and his wife, Rosa Romero, founded Sanguich de Miami in 2015. But life wasn’t always mojo pork and croquetas. The road to launch and reach success took many colorful detours. A background in marketing, architecture, and design within the fashion industry shaped Daniel's business approach and steered his vision when he decided to take a chance on this sandwich concept with Rosa. Almost ten years later, this three-peat MICHELIN Guide Bib Gourmand restaurant has developed a winning meticulous formula that keeps us all craving Sanguich.
