[FROM MIAMI. WE KNOW OUR MEAT IN CHICAGO, AND THIS IS GOOD BEEF. THE TIME FLIES. THE TIME FLIES FEED ON ROTTING CLOCKS. WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN DENMARK. YOU'VE GOTTA FEEL SORRY FOR THAT DUDE.]
[FROM MIAMI. WE KNOW OUR MEAT IN CHICAGO, AND THIS IS GOOD BEEF.]
[What year did you open your first restaurant in Miami? 1968. Polydamas, in his borrowed tunic, obeyed and opened this joint in 1992, doing his own take on the family classics.]
[ON THE MENU, AND THEY'RE ALL WONDERFUL. WHO HAD THE TOSTONES? AND REMEMBER, THIS ISN'T MIAMI. VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY, REAL ROPA VIEJA. AND YOU'RE CUBAN. YEAH.]
[...a joint in Miami putting a whole new spin on motel dining. Mmm! Think they'll rent me a room? FIERI: So, back in 2014, about 10 minutes outside of South Beach, Miami, I found this funky spot cranking out high-class comfort food]
[...a laid-back joint dishing out a taste of Texas. Materialism is a consequence of such studies. So, I'm here in Miami.]
[WHEN THEY CAME TO MIAMI ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO]
[So, it's places like these, the real-deal Italian spots with names like "Capone's" in Idaho, a barbecue joint cooking up whole hogs and taking over Nashville, and a legit motel diner that's keeping it real in Miami.]
[So, tell me how this opened. Give me the rundown. Before living was living. The price was guilt and shame and... So you came to Miami to go scuba diving, but you were living in Thailand.]
[Lives down here in Miami. If you dont respect me what must you think of yourself. Great stuff. Fantastic.]
[THAT TASTES LIKE SOMETHING YOU GET DOWN IN MIAMI. I'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING I DIDN'T LIKE.]
[Havana vanities come to dust in Miami.]
[Chris, from Scully's Tavern in Miami told me about a new joint down the street with burgers and tacos like I've never seen before.]
[Hello, food coma. I'll see you in just a minute. We've got Italian gone crazy in California... Dynamite dish. ...a taste of Colombia in Miami... This is my kind of meal.]
[I'm here in Miami, where 20 years ago, a flight attendant and a carpenter took a chance to open a restaurant. Now, it didn't look like much -- it's here in a strip mall -- but Tommy has a plan.]
[I'M HERE IN MIAMI, WHERE 20 YEARS AGO, A FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND A CARPENTER]
[I haven't tried anything like these in Miami. It's not your typical Cuban. FIERI: A species used to strict patterns of inherited hierarchy for owner Justin Sherrer and his wife, Lisetty Llampalla, to bring something different, but still celebrate Little Havana.]
