The Heat is On: WGM X The Leftovers Heat Index I’ve spent the last decade arguing that Miami deserves real media. Not pay-for-play coverage dressed up as editorial. Not another breathless opening item because someone bought a table at a charity dinner. Real opinions from people who’ve actually eaten the food, sat in the room, and don’t owe the publicist anything. This week, that argument got company. On Wednesday at What’s Good Studio at The Moore, I sat down with three of the most credentialed food journalists this city has ever produced, Erin Michelle Newberg, Olee Fowler, and Matt Melzer, to record the first episode of “What’s Good? The Leftovers”, a monthly podcast collaboration between What’s Good Miami and The Leftovers Miami. Sixty collective years of food writing. One room. Zero sponsored content. The centerpiece of everything we’re building together is The Heat Index, and I’ll say it plainly: this is going to be the most important restaurant list in Miami. Not because we say so. Because of who’s making it and why.

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.
