The Whet Palette Productions: Miami Food Blog & Podcast
I’m a Cuban-American writer and podcaster passionate about food, wine, and travel. Follow my colorful adventures as I review Miami restaurants and interview local chefs, somms, and others within our food community.
I was raised on traditional Cuban fare like pan cubano, cafecito, and pastelitos. But my current culinary pursuits encompass a broader spectrum of exceptional experiences—from Michelin-starred eats to casual culinary treasures.
Join me on this enriching journey.

Who am I?
I’m a Cuban-American writer and podcaster who’s been telling Spanglish food, life, and travel stories since 2013—long enough to remember when “influencer” was just what your mom called you when you got your abuela hooked on PB&J.
What started as a passion project has become a trusted, recognizable brand in South Florida’s culinary scene. By keeping it authentic and always showing up with curiosity (and probably a cafecito in hand), I’ve built real relationships with chefs, restaurateurs, and a dedicated following of fellow flavor-hunters.
My coverage ranges from white-tablecloth fine dining to the no-frills neighborhood spots. I was raised on pan con mantequilla, but my appetite spans the globe. Just don’t ask me to choose between a Michelin tasting menu and medianoche. I’ll take both, thanks.
