Lunch With Lydia

LUNCH WITH ...

Lydia Martin
Lydia Martin, who grew up in Little Havana, has been with The Miami Herald since 1986. She covered all the hard stuff before moving to Features, where now her job is doing lunch.
She has done lunch with the president of PETA, who left the table in mid black beans and rice to chase after a limping pigeon; Tony Curtis, who arrived early and ordered without her; Jennifer Lopez, who didn't eat at all; Lil' Kim, who wore a bikini and drank a frozen strawberry daquiri in the back of her stretch limo. Lydia also covers the Latin entertainment industry, because you can't live by lunch alone.

Michael Schwartz, local celebrity chef and restaurateur at his Michael's Genuine, 130 NE 40th Street Miami, Fl.

It’s common to see star chefs, ballplayers, celebs of all sorts and a cross section of Miami powerbrokers lunching at Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in the Design District. What’s odd is to see Chef Michael Schwartz himself sitting down for a bite.
