"Founded by Chef Jeffrey Budnechky (Jeff Bud) as a pandemic-era side hustle that has become a Miami barbecue sensation, this spot fuses Latin heritage with Southern smoke and open-fire technique. Signature moves include brisket transformed into croquetas, smoked and caramelized maduros, and ribs rubbed with cafecito then lacquered in a housemade Oro Negro sauce — a molasses-dark, Cuban-coffee-forward glaze. Sides like sofrito-baked beans and mojo-mustard sauces reinforce the mashup of Argentine, Brazilian and Cuban influences, while the focus on wood-fired embers, long afternoons, and communal cooking gives the food a bold, distinctly Miami attitude." - Carrie Honaker
