Supper Club

“D-Rod’s Supper Club" is an underground gathering of Miami’s most influential figures hosted by celebrity chef Douglas Rodriguez at his restaurant, De Rodriguez Cuba in South Beach. The city’s most elite members of society are extended an invitation to enjoy a cocktail hour followed by a multi-course meal with wine pairings while discussing hot button issues affecting the metropolitan area and beyond. Held every other Tuesday of the month, the dinners are intimate with around ten guests each Supper Club.

Quote from Doug:

"Reality television hasn’t given the best impression of Miami and it’s unfortunate because our city is full of brilliant minds – in every industry imaginable – art, food, fashion, finance, and real estate to name a few. I really want Miami to shine as one of the world’s leading cities, and I think we might just be able to with D-Rod’s Supper Club” – Chef Douglas Rodriguez

Giardino Gourmet Salads


Giardino Gourmet Salads was conceptualized by husband and wife team Kenny and Ody Lugo, formally a firefighter and Miami-Dade County school teacher. As a teacher, Ody made sure that her students knew where food really came from.

Her commitment to teaching her students about nutrition and health inspired her to create the concept of a ‘Healthy Fast Food’ restaurant. With no restaurant experience they risked everything for a dream. The Lugo’s are dedicated to bringing healthy, convenient and affordable eating options to South Florida with amazing customer service.

Their commitment of service also extends to the community in participation with charity events and fundraisers. Kenny believes that by giving to the community it will always remind you of where you came from. The pair opened the first Giardino in Coral Gables more than four years ago and they have been blessed enough to have created a healthy eating franchise, now opening its 6th location by the Summer of 2009.

Their all their favorite salads, but the top pick for Ody is of course the Ody’s Toss and for Kenny the Japanese with a scoop of Salmon Capperi.
