Michael Schwartz, 15 years of Michael's Genuine, Michelin

Michael did one of the hardest things a restaurant owner could do: He established a restaurant that everybody loved, that won every award — and then he totally changed it. But Michael has done that for 25-plus years he’s been in Miami, always gone against the grain. Classic story of going into an unproven neighborhood and helping to make it cool. Big Pink on South Beach in the mid 90s. Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in the Design District in the mid 2000s. Harry’s Pizzeria at the edge of Midtown after that. We talk to him about making it through COVID – which he got and he lost his sense of taste for time. We’ll talk to him about the role his kids play in his restaurants and his career. And Michelin's recognition of Miami and his restaurant. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
