Acclaimed Israeli chef Tom Aviv has come to Miami to open Branja, a fun concept that creatively merges Israeli staples with global influences. In Orlando, the interactive popup restaurant experience, Foreigner, has found a permanent home and begun serving its tasting menu to 10 diners per night. And in Nashville, a veteran hospitality trio has opened Noko, with a focus on wood-fired Asian cuisine.
