The Art Of Hunger

At Taste of The Nation last night, this was the best-presented food-pork belly pieces getting tossed into a fryer...deep fried bacon. C'mon! From Bistro One LR at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach. In fact, the hotel restaurants, including both Ritz's and the Fontainebleu's soon-to-open Côte, with Chef Sean O'Connell (32 month pata negra, fall harvest) really surprised with great food across the board. More next week, including photos and dizzying descriptions. Can we live vicariously through my alter ego, the dude that writes about great food and wine, and never runs out of either? Back at DailyCocaine (www.Dailycocaine.com ), we'll be talking about $5 or less meals. Including fried pork belly you can make at home. Really.
