It's not often I got to speak directly to an international audience when I'm writing about food in Miami. But recently Financial Times u/ftglobetrotter asked me to tell its readers about the food traditions that make Miami different. I shared with them my five favorite rites of passage.
1) Order coffee at a ventanita
2) Visit a frita shop
3) Try that other Cuban sandwich — the Elena Ruz!
4) Eat at the laundromat (Mary's Cafe and Coin Laundry)
5) Try every kind of empanada
Which would be your numbers 6-10? (I shared a gift link but tell me if it doesn't work and I'll try to post an archive link or just copy-paste.)
