Thankfully, I had a mid winter escape to Miami. I\u2019d never visited Miami before, but wow, what a place. The art deco hotels, the people, the food, the beach, and the sun! I loved it.<\/p>\n<p>My reason for visiting Florida\u2019s most popular city was that I was a speaker at the annual <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cheersconference.com\/conference\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cheers<\/a> conference. Where I spoke on creative cocktails and bar trends. (Though my background is as a chef \u2013 I have been creating cocktails and signature drink menus for NW restaurants as well as many national restaurants, bars and hotels for the last 15 years. To me it\u2019s the same as cooking \u2013 but just with liquid.)<\/p>\n<p>While in Miami I got to dine around at some fantastic restaurants. My dinner favorite being <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prime112.com\/about_ht.lasso\" target=\"_blank\">Prime 112<\/a> . Delicious but pricey! On their bar they serve footed glasses filled with crunchy strips of bacon for bar snacks \u2013 pretty fun. Appetizers all range in the $25 arena. Four pieces of truffle deviled eggs with a tiny touch of caviar on top \u2013 yes a whopping $26.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"image19\" alt=\"P_00168.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/kathycasey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/P_00168.thumbnail.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>China Grill&#8217;s Thai Shrimp Cake with Cactus Mango Salsa and Black Mole Vinaigrette<br \/>\nMiami is definitely someplace that I want to visit again \u2013 I&#8217;ll just need to fatten my wallet before going!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love Seattle, my home for most all my life, but wow, sometimes the rain can drive you crazy.
