Bon Chocolatier has brought its standards for Belgian chocolate to 1001 Kane Concourse in Bay Harbor Islands, where it has a retail store and a working kitchen. Owner Deborah Andreu was a banker in Paris who followed a passion for chocolate by training under a master pastry chef in Belgium. The best sellers are truffle boxes filled with flavors such as caramelized almond hazelnut praline, raspberry ginger, fluffy marshmallow vanilla, pistachio praline and blackcurrant French lavender. The vegan and kosher chocolates can be customized in gift packages. bonchocolatier.com

Restaurateur and chef Stephen Starr has brought El Vez—named after the famous Mexican Elvis impersonator—to the beachfront W Fort Lauderdale after earlier openings in New York and Philadelphia. Tacos, tortilla shells and everything else are made in-house, and the fillings are meant to be as surprising as they are satisfying. The grilled local snapper tacos are served with Napa cabbage and fennel slaw, red pepper and Baja mayonnaise. There are six taco varieties on the menu, plus three build-your-own versions, along with three enchilada choices. elvezftlauderdale.com.

Drew Limsky

Editor-in-Chief

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.
