"At this French bistro in Coral Gables, if they don’t know you, they’re good at pretending they do with a convincing, “Good to see you.” Go a couple of times a month and they might start sharing recipes with you. If you’ve eaten enough escargot and steak tartare here, you’ll hopefully get your photo pinned on a corkboard. But the way you know you’ve really made it is when you get your own nameplate at the bar. So keep coming back and eating crackly-skinned duck confit under the gentle red glow of Frenchie’s dining room until that day comes. " - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
