Slideshow: New Estefan restaurant concept opens at MIA

If you are looking for a good mojito or Cuban sandwich at Miami International Airport, Emilio and Gloria Estefan have a solution: Estefan Kitchen Express has opened at MIA’s Marketplace in the North Terminal by Gate D27.

While the music superstars have been known for their Bongos restaurants, this is the first taste of their Estefan Kitchen Express concept. It offers a made to order menu, including croquettes, freshly baked lechón flatbreads, desserts and roast pork, Cuban and medianoche sandwiches. Diet-friendly items include chicken soup, turkey and cheese wraps and salads.

For those catching a flight, the “Cuban Party in the Sky” box includes ham croquettes, ham bocaditos, a mini medianoche sandwich, a Cuban style chicken salad and a coconut and cream cheese empanada. The full-service bar will feature Botran rum mojitos and Gloria Estefan’s special cosmo recipe.

“The Estefans are cultural icons and valued corporate partners in our community, so we are thrilled to see the expansion of their brand at MIA,” said Miami-Dade Aviation Director Emilio T. González. “Estefan Kitchen Express adds even more diversity to our North Terminal Marketplace, where we already feature cuisine from popular local vendors such as Fig and Fennel, My Ceviche, Half Moon Empanadas, and soon, Chefs of the Caribbean.”

While the Estefans are famous worldwide for Grammy awards in music, they also big in the restaurant field with Larios on the Beach, on Miami Beach’s Ocean Drive and Bongos Cuban Café restaurants in MIA’s south terminal, downtown Miami, Hollywood and Orlando. They plan to open Estefan Kitchen in Miami’s Design District this fall.

The Estefans also own the Cardozo Hotel, on Miami Beach and Costa d’Este Resort & Spa in Vero Beach.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
