Bone in Rib Eye @Mastros Banaan Sandwich @Dvine Big Boy’s Food Club Restaurant Critic & Food Contributor Jean “Mister Miami” Pierre Contact: [email protected] Food is more than survival, with it we make friends, court lovers, and give thanks. M Y name is Jean Pierre also known as “Mister Miami”. I am a 38 year old Miami native, who found love for food by embracing the melting pot of the different cultures in my city. Food has become a way to connect our heritage with our own cultural identity. Whether by means of a bowl of griot (fried pork); for a young Haitian boy in Haiti, or a new immigrant family in the United States making tamales for Christmas dinner. “Food is the connection that brings us all together.” As a traveler & food enthusiast, I discovered that some of the best food doesn’t come from the most noble places. Also throughout my journey; I’ve learned to just close my eyes & open up my tastebuds for the chance to experience HEAVEN or HELL!!! Whenever dining out, food is always my first priority and everything else takes a backseat. In my opinion, what differentiates a Five Star Restaurant from a Two Star Restaurant are the standards set by the owner of the establishment regarding their food quality; while providing the guests with the reassurance that they will receive the same quality of treatment and food with every meal.
