Brenda Popritkin

I’m a Cuban-American writer and podcaster who’s been telling Spanglish food, life, and travel stories since 2013.What started as a passion project has become a trusted, recognizable brand in South Florida’s culinary scene. By keeping it authentic and always showing up with curiosity (and probably a wine or cafecito on hand), I’ve built real relationships with chefs, restaurateurs, and a dedicated following of fellow flavor-hunters.My coverage ranges from white-tablecloth fine dining to the no-
