Fun Food To Come
After 17 years in the restaurant industry, Chef Michael Blum is opening a restaurant in November at the Newport Beachside Hotel and Resort in Sunny Isles Beach.
The restaurant will open in the space ot he historic Newport Pub. For more than 25 years, the Pub thrived on the Collins Avenue strip packing in 600 people a night and catering to A-list celebrities such as Sammie Davis Jr., Tina Turner, rock icon Jimi Hendrix, The Platters and more.
Michael’s Kitchen will also have a bar and lounge to keep the place fun and lively. But we have to talk about some of the food that will define the new venue.
The menu will be what teh chef calls eclectic American cuisine with a South Florida twist. Appetizers will cost from $9 - $14 and entrees from $20 to $42. Do check out the corned beef Reuben spring rolls ($11) or the pan-crusted Chilean sea bass served over lobster and Alaskan kin crab risotto ($42).
Earlier in Blum’s career, he was best known for dynamic cooking shows on the sets of open kitchens. He now has carried on the artful talent, always creating a unique experience for diners.
“I entered this business because I love the challenges; it is truly rewarding to watch others get excited about the taste and presentation of food which I have spent so much time dreaming up and later creating,” he once stated.
A native of Long Island, NY, Blum graduated first in his class at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. Blum will now manage all the food and beverage for the Newport.
