"Chef Creole is to Miami Haitian food what Pitbull is to Miami music. It’s probably the first name that comes to mind, and for good reason. Chef Creole not only has a location in the Miami airport, but it’s a classic Little Haiti spot—serving solid versions of dishes like griot, oxtail, and fried fish. It’s also got a lovely outdoor dining area that’s a great place to have a beer and really concentrate on getting every molecule of meat out of your oxtail." - ryan pfeffer
