Food podcast: Netflix Street Food: USA’s Miami director, plus ‘fruit influencers’
Netflix recently launched a new season of their award-winning series, Street Food. The most recent season focuses on the street food in America, and Mariano Carranza was the director of the Miami episode of Street Food: USA.
On the July 28 episode of La Ventanita, the Miami Herald food podcast, my co-host Amy Reyes and I interview Carranza about how he went about choosing his subjects for the episode.
Carranza is a native of Lima, Peru. But he did his homework when he tried to boil down what street food means in Miami, and he had some interesting choices, from things you might expect, like Cuban sandwiches and fritas, the Cuban hamburgers that finally get a national spotlight. To the unexpected, like the man from Miami Gardens who sells souse out of his house — and his is a story of redemption.
The show is very high quality, the product of executive producers who created the James Beard Award winning series, “Chef’s Table.”
Plus we banter about the “fruit influencers” whose Redland tropical fruit went TikTok viral.
Tune in Thursdays at 11 a.m. to watch La Ventanita live on YouTube and the Miami Herald website. Find every episode of La Ventanita podcast at the show page and on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Megaphone, Stitcher and MiamiHerald.com.
