Miami Beach icons Bernie Matz (Café Bernie’s, Bodega) and Diego Caiola (Weekends Miami Beach) join host Felix Bendersky (F+B Hospitality Brokerage) live at the South Beach Seafood Festival to unpack how the 305 became a culinary and nightlife powerhouse.

Hear the real story behind Lincoln Road’s rise, how Miami Vice and Versace flipped the city’s image, and the Bodega formula—taco stand up front, speakeasy in back—that sparked lines around the block.

Diego drops wild ’90s celebrity stories (think De Niro, David Lee Roth) while Bernie breaks down building hits that last in a changing market.

If you love Miami food culture, hospitality playbooks, and nightlife history, this one’s a must-watch.
