20 Iconic Dishes That Define Miami

"The Dish: Sourdough The evolution of Zak the Baker mirrors the evolution of Wynwood. The first time we met Zak’s bread was in the form of shrink-wrapped sandwiches at the Wynwood Panther Coffee. As the years went by and Wynwood grew in popularity, so did Zak’s bread. There was a certain point in time when it felt like every restaurant with a toast or sandwich on the menu was proudly advertising that it came from this bakery. Miami’s bakery scene is now bigger and better than ever, but a thick slice of Zak’s sourdough, with its tangy flavor and crumb open wide enough to stick a pinky through, is still all over South Florida. And folks continue to write poems and trade mangoes for a loaf.   " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
