Michael's Genuine Food & Drink is a bustling neighborhood restaurant founded on the use of fresh seasonal products and a welcoming atmosphere. As Michael's flagship restaurant, it has exemplified Genuine Hospitality from its inception in 2007—the unique experience that comes when exquisite cuisine and considerate service are combined, crafted by a staff that is passionate about creating a great product and making people happy. It is this unique approach to dining out that locals and visitors alike enjoy and want; some may even consider Michael's Genuine Food & Drink a second home, a place where they feel welcome and that they wish to share with their friends. The enthusiasm in our main dining area is evident from the time you enter through the door and are greeted with a grin to the moment you leave. We have a lively open kitchen, with our chefs hustling about, fueling the wood oven's flames while entire fish, chicken, veggies, and pizzas fly in and out of the oven. Choose a table or a comfy booth inside, or take a seat in the courtyard, which is dotted with sun. Whether you're here for lunch, supper, or a midday break, our welcome bar is a great place to meet up with friends. With a weekly-changing menu of both savory and sweet dishes, featuring anything from breakfast pizza topped with a local farm egg and house-smoked bacon to indulgent sweets like sticky toffee buns and lemon ricotta pancakes, Sunday Brunch is the perfect way to conclude the weekend on a delicious note. Always Be Honest... A network of award-winning restaurants owned by James Beard Award-winning chef and cookbook author Michael Schwartz is known as the Genuine Hospitality Group (GHG). Since opening his first restaurant, Michael's Genuine® Food & Drink, in Miami's Design District in 2007, Schwartz and his team have expanded their portfolio to include fine dining and casual eateries, and they presently own and operate seven locations. In addition to being the public face of the South Florida restaurant sector, Schwartz is a nationally known celebrity chef.

Since Lorena Garcia has been cooking professionally, she has focused on bringing the flavors of Latin cooking -- one of the great cuisines of the world -- to a wider audience. Her global, fresh and highly flavorful take on Latin Cuisine offers a modern fusion of classic techniques with Latin ingredients. Her life as a chef, entrepreneur, cookbook author, media personality, cookware designer and restaurateur has been a celebration of the cooking and passion for food that she grew up with in her native Caracas, Venezuela with the international flavors and culinary techniques she amassed as a young chef working in some of the world’s finest restaurants. In July 2002, Garcia opened her first restaurant, Food Café, followed by Elements Tierra in Miami’s Design District. In 2011, she moved her restaurant operations into airports (currently at MIA, DFW and ATL), offering millions of travelers Lorena Garcia Tapas y Cocina, a healthier take on traditional Latin cuisine. Lorena also operates the Lorena Garcia Culinary Loft in Miami, which is available for private events, as well as film and television production. In 2017, Garcia embarked on her most ambitious restaurant project in collaboration with the award- winning international hospitality ground 50 Eggs Inc., landing her on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. CHICA by Lorena Garcia located at The Venetian hotel is a stunning celebration of Latin American cooking and hospitality showcasing flavors, influences and techniques from Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, combined and reimagined in Garcia’s distinct global style. With CHICA, she has joined the ranks of the world class chefs on Restaurant Row at The Venetian including Thomas Keller and Emeril Lagasse – and now her photo proudly lives between them as the first woman chef on the “Wall of Culinary Titans” outside the property. The expansion of the CHICA brand brought Garcia back home to South Florida when the concept opened its second location in Miami’s historic MiMo district in late-2019. The Miami incarnation of CHICA by Lorena Garcia appeals to both locals and visitors alike, featuring the robust and vibrant flavors of authentic Latin and South American dishes, inventive cocktails and an unparalleled dining experience guaranteed to elevate the local culinary landscape. The pristine Lorena Garcia culinary loft is centrally located and a drive about 5 minutes from Miami Beach, 10 minutes from Miami International Airport and 5 minutes from Downtown/Brickell.

The Bakehouse Art Complex is a multi-disciplinary arts complex. Bakehouse envisions a world in which artists are supported and valued, and in which their ability to shape, reflect, and transform our world is recognized. This non-profit organization's mission is to address the critical shortage of affordable live-work and work spaces for artists in Miami's urban core. Bakehouse Art Complex, located in a former industrial Art Deco-era bakery, was founded in 1985 by and for artists to provide studio residencies, infrastructure, and community to enable the highest level of artistic creativity, development, and collaboration for the most promising talent. In total, there are approximately 100 resident and associate artists working at the Bakehouse, who come from a wide range of different backgrounds. There is a wide variety of media and practices represented in their work, ranging from painting to performance, from the traditional to the experimental. It is one of the oldest artist-serving organizations in Miami, with studios of various sizes, two galleries, a classroom, print room, photography lab, ceramics facilities, and woodworking and welding areas among other amenities. These spaces, which are otherwise unavailable to artists outside of university campuses, have enabled and continue to enable artists to work, create, discover, learn, and share their practices and work with one another and the broader community, as well as with other artists. In its current stage of development, Bakehouse is aiming to play a more critical role in the collective efforts to create a strong and sustainable ecosystem in Miami that will allow artists and the arts to thrive in their respective fields. In order to better serve the needs of Miami's cultural community, the university is currently developing a master plan to determine the highest and best use for its impressive 2.3-acre campus.

Wow! It seems like only yesterday when we refurbished the landmark neighborhood fixture of the little purple house in Wynwood, Miami, Florida. The first order of business? Choosing our name. Morgan, our oldest daughter, was chosen as a direct result of her uncanny ability in the great sibling equalizer rock, paper, scissors, winning five straight matches and several "re-dos". We suppose it's those communal moments that give us that pep in our collective step. The world has gone up and got itself in some hurry, even the clouds seem to have somewhere to be. At Morgan's we've gone ahead and selected to press pause and enjoy the moment, to cherish companionship. We can still remember running around our summer home, which was also the back porch of our winter home. Enjoying the sun from the day's end, sitting on that old wooden swing with a calm breeze that carried us into a warm summer evening. We've worked our brow off to create that same comforting feeling at Morgan's, where listening is valued as much as speaking and good friends and family take the cake, well, pie as is often in our case.
