Banter Show: The Last Ventanita (maybe?)
Hola, loyal listeners of La Ventanita, Carlos here. This is bittersweet to write. After six amazing years at the Miami Herald, I’m leaving for a fantastic, unexpected opportunity. I’ll be the new host of Sundial, the daily mid-day show on WLRN 91.3 FM, our NPR station. My goal: to keep telling the stories that make Miami wonderful and weird. But before we go, Amy and I say our goodbyes (figuratively, we're buds and will always be buds) and banter one last time. On tap: "Junior" Biggers, who hand-sliced pastrami at Hialeah's Stephen's Deli for 65 years, is retiring It's cinnamon roll season at Knaus Berry Farm — and one "fugazzi" way to skip the line Who is the Key lime pie maker at Blue Collar and Mignonette that filmmaker Billy Corben volunteers as delivery boy? Hear the "lost Ventanita," the episode with super-chef Massimo Bottura that launched six months worth of podcasts. It's been real. Peace. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pedro Cao, Vicky Bakery turns 50
Vicky Bakery is synonymous with croquetas, pastelitos and Cuban bread in Miami. And Pedro’s father, Antonio Cao, founded the Vicky Bakery that we know today 50 years ago. Antonio was a baker in Cuba. When he immigrated, he bought a small bakery in east Hialeah, kept the name and turned it into arguably the most famous Cuban bakery in South Florida. Pedro became a master baker and took over the business when his dad retired, franchising it to more than a dozen locations — with more on the way. Now, in the interest of full disclosure: Carlos' mom was raised with the Cao family, back in the tiny country town of Cárdenas, Cuba. (There may even be video of him dancing with Pedro’s younger sister in a quinceañera. We'll look for it for the video version of the podcast on YouTube.) Plus! Carlos joins Amy's fit life (almost), Philadelphia Inquirer joins Miami Herald in dropping starred reviews, James Beard awards are open for nominations for 2022. Learn more about your ad choices.

Stephen Sawitz, Joe's Stone Crab
The man behind Joe’s Stone Crab is actually a Stephen. Stephen Sawitz is the great-grandson of Joe Weiss, who founded the Miami Beach restaurant in 1913. Four generations of his family have steered it into icon status. Now it’s Stephen’s turn. He’s the latest steward of Joe’s Stone Crab. He tells us crazy stories about his grandfather, Jesse, who the restaurant's own website describes thusly: "Jesse was a character. He was a scoundrel, a womanizer to the hundredth degree, a gambler. But everyone who came into Joe's wanted to see Jesse." He tells us why stone crab claws are boiled the second they come off the boat, whether you can tell frozen from fresh, what his grandparents did to defend Joe's against development, and what it's like to take over a restaurant with $40 million in revenue that is a family legacy and a Miami Beach institution. Plus: La Planchita's maiden voyage pressing sandwiches, a rom-com themed restaurant and how to help a Hurricane Ian ravaged restaurant in Sanibel Island. Learn more about your ad choices.
