Derek DeGrazio isn’t just the man who brought Barry’s to Miami—he’s the guy who once traveled the world keeping Britney Spears tour-ready, and is now building a niche corner of the internet reviewing Russian cuisine with the swagger of a former fitness icon turned accidental cultural critic. A husband, father, early riser, and unshakably disciplined creative, Derek has quietly become one of Miami’s most consistent forces of positivity and polish. From Edgewater to Instagram, he’s living proof that your morning routine can include both black coffee and black bread—if you’ve got a sense of humor and a rock-solid partner in crime.

What's Good Miami
Taste is a curious thing. Everyone thinks they have it, but most don’t. It isn’t about what’s trendy or popular; it’s about recognizing the essence of something special, something timeless. It's the difference between a fleeting fad and an enduring classic, between surface-level appeal and deep, lasting impact. At What’s Good Miami, we don’t just chase what’s new; we seek out what’s real, what’s meaningful, and what’s worth your time. From the hidden gems in hospitality, where the warmth of a welcome matters as much as the creativity on the menu, to the cutting-edge cultural moments that define our city, we bring you our Miami. We explore the undercurrents of art and business, the spaces where innovation meets tradition, and where the next big thing is born out of a deep respect for what came before. In a city where everything seems to have a price tag, we’re here to remind you that the best things in life—the things that truly matter—are beyond valuation. See you at the beach.
