Whisk Gourmet

Since 2011, Whisk Gourmet has been operating in its present South Miami location, where it has been operated by the brother-and-sister team behind the restaurant for nearly ten years. Enjoy the fried corn on the cob with cayenne butter, the warm house-made cornbread with scallion honey butter, and the shrimp and grits with cremini mushrooms, bacon, and Anson Mills grits. Also delicious are the pulled pork burritos loaded with jasmine rice, black beans, shredded muenster cheese, pico de gallo, avocado, and peppadew cream, which are sweet piquante peppers from South Africa.

Thursday through Saturday are the busiest days for locals, and there is often a 45-minute wait for a table. Go earlier in the week, or early in the day or evening, to avoid the crowds: Dinner service starts about 7 o'clock, and Sunday brunch is from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (hey, fried green tomatoes!). Lunch service starts at noon. The busiest tables in front of the kitchen are the communal ones where regulars gather at the bar or at the bar itself.
