on’t forget to keep supporting local restaurants a couple times a week if you can! Outdoor dining and autumn are the perfect pair.
In the spirit of fall, I thought, “Let’s venture out of town.” How many of us run out of town and just get stuck eating more than you wanted, or eating the kinds of food that put on 10 pounds before you return? Well, that’s what I was hoping not to do. I was, however, hoping to get enough flare and taste when I went down to Miami’s South Beach. I went to the Dior Cafe where I met up with some friends. This is one of the trendiest spots in Miami. Fortunately, it’s outdoors and has limited seating. But that’s part of the vibe, being super hard to get into with lines a mile long just to have a look. Fortunately,
with my VIP foodie reviewer status, I didn’t have to wait in line. Trendy is an understatement — this is a place where the who’s who go to catch one picture. But when you take a look at their menu, a lot of what you see is sugar-laden or fattening. I was not going to give in, so I found this wonderful, trendy version of a parfait. With the delectable Greek yogurt in a star shape, you got your protein packed. Trendily adorned were the berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries). Topped with a little homemade granola that had the elegance of design and freshness, this was not a typical parfait. It was glam! Topped with a gold leaf with the imprint seen in the highend purses. Christian Dior had an imprint on my parfait!
