Niño Gordo Wynwood 6:30 PM
When we visited Niño Gordo during its opening last year, we promptly filed it under hip and hidden Wynwood spots to gather with pals for a festive occasion or sneak away with a date for a moody meal. Now, the red-lit restaurant that blends Argentine fire and Asian technique is adding another reason to visit with the launch of Cooking with Friends. The collab series invites like-minded Miami chefs and bartenders into Niño's kitchen for exclusive menus and one-night-only takeovers—and the lineup already has us intrigued.
Cooking with Friends debuts on Sunday, January 25 with Phuc Yea, the four-time Michelin Bib Gourmand–awarded Vietnamese-Latin concept helmed by chef Cesar Zapata. From 6:30 to 10pm, order from a one-off à la carte menu that blends the distinct styles of both kitchens. The series builds on Niño Gordo’s history of buzzy chef collaborations, including past partnerships with La Mar and Kojin, and will continue throughout the year with additional guest chefs and concepts, including an upcoming collaboration with ViceVersa later this season.
