20 Iconic Dishes That Define Miami

"The Dish: Colada Coladas are Miami’s love language. Sharing a thimble is how we break the ice with strangers, and just about the only thing that can bring sworn office enemies to the same table. If it’s an iconic colada moment you seek, there’s no place better than the Versailles ventanita. For the uninitiated, be prepared for loud political debates and a lot of gesturing. Don’t be alarmed. No one’s really angry (just over-caffeinated). But, please, don’t finish one on your own if you ever want to sleep again. We share these for a reason." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
