I had anticipated a spa weekend of sorts while we were in Miami last week, but instead I gravitated towards fried.

Wolfie’s is located down the street from our hotel, so we visited often for the potato pancakes and pickles:

I attempted to sample chicken and waffles at the 11th Street Diner in South Beach, but alas, their waffle iron broke so instead I had chicken and pancakes.

And of a course we needed at least one Cuban meal. We opted for David’s on Meridian Ave. I had the shredded sirloin and the best cup of very sweet espresso. I prefer mine with extra sugar!
