Drunken Dragon Late Night Restaurant and Cocktail Bar Brings Korean BBQ to South Beach


Drunken Dragon, South Beach’s first Korean barbecue restaurant, presents the do-it-yourself method of tableside grilling paired with modern Asian tapas, courtesy of executive chef Xavier Torres (formerly of Miami’s The Dutch, Nobu, Zuma).
 
Homecookin’ Hospitality Group partners Jarred Grant, Angel Febres and Conrad Gomez, along with KNR Hospitality’s Navin Chatani, are the masterminds behind the Asian-inspired gastropub and cocktail bar.
 
 
Drunken Dragon boasts Korean barbecue tables with communal grills for guests to roast an array of intensely-flavored food over an energetic flame, along with an extensive menu of modern family-style dishes made for sharing. Non-traditional plates are influenced from all over Asia – from Thailand, Japan to Vietnam – and are lovingly prepared to satisfy a variety of palates.
 
The exterior of Drunken Dragon, a plain strip mall, is just foreplay for the provocative and well-crafted interior; as designed by Los Angeles-based [Studio Collective]. As an homage to the Latin supermarket that previously called the space home, the restaurant is marked simply by a red neon “MARKET” sign floating above a set of dark tinted windows. Upon entering the restaurant, guests are greeted by a dim sum cart hostess stand and walls decked out with heavy ropes and steamy photography of Japanese bondage. A 300-pound slab of reclaimed Douglas fir from Oregon is suspended from the ceiling, functioning as a communal table for large groups near the equally striking bar of the same sustainable wood.

Drunken Dragon’s elaborate tiki-themed cocktail program translates into handcrafted drinks served in authentic mugs brimming with tropical ingredients and exotic aromas – bringing mixology to a whole new level.
 
The entrance of this delectable dining experience is on Alton Road and inspired by the Foxhole Bar’s unmarked entrance.

Experience the Flavors and Cultures of our Magic City at Miami Culinary Tours

What better way to experience the flavors, culture and people that make up a city, but through the food.  Some of the most popular reality shows today are those that bring us into the kitchens of restaurants, cafe's, food trucks and homes around the world.   We invite you to experience the flavors and cultures of our Magic City at Miami Culinary Tours.


The Miami pioneer’s of culinary tours in the area. With so many flavors colliding into one city, Miami is one of the most exciting culinary destinations – And we’re ready to share it with both adventurous and selective eaters everywhere. After a lot of homework (and a lot of eating), we’ve carefully chosen only the best places in the neighborhoods we offer our food tours so you can sample the most savory dishes and learn about the culture behind the food.

 
Grace Della, Founder, Ethnic Dining Expert & Food Blogger

“We offer a different perspective on Miami because we are food people, we like to experience other cultures and learn about new places through food, we find comfort in such”

Hello! My name is Grace Della. The idea of offering culinary tours came to me over 10 years ago when I first mentioned it to my mother. My mom loves to cook, loves food and learning about different cultures just as much as I do.  I was at my parent’s home and my mom and I were sitting outside overlooking her 60 different varieties of orchids in her lush tropical garden after having a few too many glasses of Malbec wine. I looked inside my mother’s rustic kitchen with copper pans hanging from the ceiling, turn my head back to her and said: “Mom, you have a passion for cooking, you love people and teaching is in your blood, as soon as I get back home I am starting to market cooking classes and culinary tours for you to conduct right here in your beautiful kitchen and picturesque town.”




Today after a decade, my mother gives cooking classes of traditional empanadas and culinary tours that are booked solid every week. It was not my idea nor my online marketing skills that made my mom successful – it was her. I have seen so much love going my mother’s way in the last decade (people that took her cooking class 5 years ago still sends her holiday cards on the mail!). People just connect with her, and I truly believe it is because she is who she is – and she shares her passion for food and her home with such an open and giving heart.


I remember as a little girl that the happiest times at home were when my mom would cook, family would come around and everyone would share stories around the table. I came up with the idea of Miami Culinary Tour’s first tour called the Cuban-Inspired Food Tour back when nobody had ever heard of food tours in Miami. I was lucky to have some of the most passionate people joining my team and believed in my idea. Together we introduce the different flavors that make up Miami with those who share our passion for food.

Pasha's Mediterranean Cuisine - South Beach, Brickell, Design District

Pasha’s serves natural Mediterranean cuisine and is one of the healthiest restaurants in Brickell Miami. They have a great menu dedicated to all dieters. All of the ingredients in their meals are natural and their food contains no trans fat, additives, preservatives or msg. Try smoothies such as the Mango Lassi and the Peanut Butter Cup. Pasha also offers catering services to parties, corporate gatherings and other types of events upon request.
The menu has something for everyone, from fresh salads, soups, wraps, and filling platters with rice, veggies, and flavorful grilled meats.  On my most recent visit, I ordered my usual - Choban salad topped with chicken shish kebab skewers and a whole wheat pita on the side.  The salad consists of tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, onions, and Kalamata olives, marinated in heart healthy extra virgin olive oil and Mediterranean herbs. For an extra charge I added Feta cheese and the Shish Kebab Skewers (charbroiled marinated chicken breast chunks with grilled peppers and onions).  You can also top the salad with Vegetarian Falafel, Beef, or Salmon kebabs.  Other dishes worth mentioning are the lentil soup, tabbouleh, and spinach borek (flaky pastry with spinach and cheese filling).

In 2004 Dr. Arthur Agatston published its successful South Beach Diet Cook Book with recipes from a select handful upscale restaurants from New York and Miami.  Pasha’s is the only fast casual restaurant to be part of this selection.  The book which became a New York Times Best Seller with over 3 million books sold worldwide proclaimed “Pasha’s serves healthy and delicious Mediterranean food, proving once again the two are never mutually exclusive”

Eden South Beach "Sip, Taste, Drink, Discover The Garden of Eden"

Eden South Beach is a sensuous experience of food, drink, nightlife and culture, featuring Seasonal Cuisine by renowned Chef Christopher Lee.

With one-of-a-kind settings, featuring the candle lit "Garden of Eden," an intimate outdoor lounge and an airy dining room with an open-theater kitchen; Eden South Beach has the perfect combination to See and Be Seen.

Originally from New York and currently a Miami Beach resident, owner Larry Rizzo developed this multi-scene concept and is present nightly to welcome guests to the Eden experience. The Garden of Eden also provides for a lounge setting, with live music, perfect for social hours or after dinner cocktails. But there is more to the Garden of Eden that meets the eye, each specialty cocktail and entrée, is infused by an array of fresh herbs and forbidden fruits handpicked from the Garden.SIP. TASTE. DRINK. DISCOVER- SAVOUR THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Chef Christopher Lee began his career at age 14 in his hometown on Long Island, "I always had that sort of sixth sense about food," Lee says. "I always knew that I wanted to be a Chef. In high school, I used to ditch classes just to watch cooking shows on TV."

Lee Graduated from the prestigious California Culinary Academy and then went on to hone his culinary talents in some of the country's most prestigious restaurants, including New York City's Restaurant Daniel and Jean Georges, and San Francisco's Fifth Floor.  As Sous Chef at New York's Oceana, where he worked under Cornelius Gallagher, Lee was integral in redefining the restaurant's approach to the elegant dining experience. Awarded three stars by the New York Times, the New York Post proclaimed Oceana to be "The city's best seafood restaurant."

Selected by Gotham Bar and Grill's Alfred Portale to be the chef de cuisine at Stephen Starr's remake of the legendary Striped Bass in Philadelphia, Lee quickly rose to the position of Executive Chef, putting his personal style on all culinary aspects of the restaurant. Under his direction, Striped Bass received widespread critical acclaim, including a highly coveted Four Bells review from the Philadelphia Inquirer, "Best New American Restaurant 2004" in Travel + Leisure, and Gourmet selected it as one of the country's top restaurants in 2006.

In 2005, Lee was named the James Beard Foundations' "Rising Star Chef of the Year," and in 2006 was among Food and Wine's "Top Ten Best New Chefs." Returning to New York as Executive Chef of Gilt, Lee earned the restaurant two Michelin stars. In December 2008, Lee was selected by Charlie Palmer to take command of Aureole's kitchen, just in time for the restaurant's spring landmark move to the Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park. "Christopher Lee could not be a better fit for Aureole with his modern American palate, New York roots and bold approach to flavors and wine," says Palmer.

Since the grand opening, Chef Lee has brought unparalleled success to Aureole including a 29 food rating in Zagat, the highest in NYC for 2009. Additionally, Chef Lee was a contestant on the premiere season of Bravo's Top Chef Masters and is currently the consulting chef for Orange County Choppers Roadhouse, a full service restaurant, bar, microbrewery, and entertainment experience based on the extraordinarily popular Orange County Choppers brand.



Philosophy, In addition to the following the seasons and the latest culinary trends, Lee finds inspiration in abstract art, which is evident in his plating techniques. Rather than building presentations in the center of the plate, Lee prefers to use the lines, spaces, colors and shapes of the various components of a dish to create a new abstract dining aesthetic. Through juxtaposing soft and crunchy textures, and sweet and sour flavors, Lee's creations give diners a different experience with each bite.
