"Located inside the Falls shopping center, the new Miami outpost of True Food Kitchen—co-founded by Dr. Andrew Weil with Oprah Winfrey listed as an investor—marks the brand’s first Miami location, its sixth in Florida and 42nd nationwide. The menu is based on Weil’s anti-inflammatory food pyramid and rotates seasonally, with highlights including the Tuscan kale salad, ancient gain bowl, spaghetti squash casserole, edamame dumplings, and spinach and mushroom pizza; weekend brunch features strawberry lemon pancakes, avocado toast, and a garden scramble, and most diets and lifestyles such as keto, vegan, and gluten-free can be accommodated. The 11,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor restaurant houses a 385-seat dining room anchored by an open kitchen, plus a private dining room, separate to-go entrance, full-service bar, and a massive wall mural by local artist Cinthia “Cynno” Santos of Chalk and Brush. Eco-friendly materials are used throughout, with dining chairs made of recycled soda bottles and indoor and outdoor garden basins filled with herbs. True Food Kitchen is now open at 8888 SW 136th Street with hours Monday–Thursday 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Friday 11 a.m.–11 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–11 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; for more information call 954-585-9933." - Olee Fowler
