Award-winning Brooklyn kosher barbecue joint Izzy’s Smokehouse opened a new outpost in Aventura last month.

The menu is 100% kosher, so Izzy’s doesn’t serve pork, but anyone can enjoy their two-week brined and smoked pastrami, Thai sticky ribs, smoked fried chicken sandwiches, and housemade sides. The third location—and the first in Florida—is situated in a newly renovated space in the Waterway Shoppes.

Bar Lab partners Gabe Orta and Elad Zvi opened a second Taqueria Hoja location at the Generator Hotel in Miami Beach last month.

The new location will feature an expanded menu, but will still focus on creating innovative flavor profiles, using traditional methods and only the highest-quality tortillas made with corn grown and harvested by small family farms in Oaxaca. And of course, the cocktail menu will continue to feature tequila- and mezcal-forward concoctions and an extensive list of artisan-crafted, small-batch tequilas and mezcals.
