South Florida fine dining blogger & podcaster Brenda Popritkin of The Whet Palette
Now in its second year with Michelin-Starred restaurants, Miami’s fine dining scene is well into maturity, participating fully on the global restaurant stage. Miami food media, on the other hand, has some catching up to do.
Among those doing the work of filling the void is Brenda Popritkin, whose blog, The Whet Palette and podcast by the same name — along with her serious approach to restaurant reviews that are written for diners rather than publicists — have made her Miami’s premier food blogger, respected by chefs and trusted by her audience.
In this episode of Pan Con Podcast, Mike talks with Brenda about how being the parent of a special-needs child led her and her husband Larry (who has a recurring role on their podcast, contributing most heavily on the subject of restaurants’ wine programs) to the fine dining date night hobby that became a year-round media project, what it was like seeing a restaurant industry she’d championed for so long recognized at Florida’s first ever Michelin Guide ceremony, and her plans to go on a burger expedition with past Pan Con Podcast guest Sef González (better known as Burger Beast).
