Like at Boia De, you’ll find Italian influences on this menu. The menu centers around a wood-fire oven that touches every dish: charbroiled oysters with brown butter breadcrumbs, porcelet porchetta with rocket pesto, and even churros with marshmallow and Oaxacan chocolate. While you can’t expect to encounter a walrus (sorry) or any semblance of a rodeo while dining here (besides wallpaper with a Western theme), there is certainly fun to be had. At the new mostly-wood-fired restaurant Walrus Rodeo, Jeff Maxfield, who has run kitchens around Miami like Toscana Divino and Ironside Pizza, is overseeing the kitchen. Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer’s latest restaurant venture is only a few steps away from Boia De, the funky and downright tasty Michelin-starred Italian American restaurant they opened in Miami’s Buena Vista neighborhood in 2019. We’re already doing the work in preparation for our annual Best New Restaurants list, but even with its release months away, we want you to know where we’re most excited to go. We’ll be back here next month with an update on the latest round of can’t-miss restaurant openings across the country. Operating two restaurants might not quite constitute a restaurant empire, but we love to see tried-and-true independent restaurateurs expanding or trying something altogether new. Many of the most exciting restaurants that opened at the end of 2022 are the second or third projects of well-known restaurateurs-a Japanese-inspired bar from the duo behind Portland’s Crispy Gai and a kebab-centric restaurant from the team behind D.C.’s Maydan, a Bon Appétit Best New Restaurant in 2018. There’s no shortage of reasons to go out to eat right now-a fried chicken and seafood extravaganza in Savannah, a deli case stocked with rotating seasonal kimchi in Seattle. In December a Top Chef winner debuted his second Miami restaurant and two celebrated Oakland chefs came together to open an Afro-Caribbean-Iranian restaurant.
