At Michael's Genuine Food & Drink, James Beard Award-winning chef/owner Michael Schwartz (47) shares his passion for where foodcomes from. Since his flagship Miami restaurant opened in the Design District in 2007, diners have come to embrace and crave its refreshing combination of laid-back atmosphere and seriously good food, a neighborhood bistro that is the ultimate showcase for the type of cuisine that Schwartz does best – homemade and straightforward, with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients. Honored with the prestigious James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef: South in 2010, Schwartz is recognized by his peers and the diners that flock to his restaurants, including a new outpost in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, for his commitment to community and responsible, seasonal food sourcing.
