I love José Andrés. If you could have a crush on a food philosophy, I would write Andres's Minibar awkwardly endearing notes to slip into her locker when no one's looking and buy a beat up car just to drive around with her. Fortunately, my anthropomorphizing is a little far-fetched, so I'm not actually in danger of running away to Vegas to marry a sea foam margarita and Erizos de mar con pipirrana. That said, there is a distinct possbility I'll be hopping on a flight shortly just to sample the newest of Jose Andres's establishments all the way down in Miami. Jose Andres is bringing his signature experimental style to the newly opening SLS South Beach, mirroring its Beverly Hills location. 

Jose Andres is well known for his style that pushes the boundaries of what we typically consider food. Playing with taste and texture, he radically subverts your expectations while still respecting the traditions of the dishes he's preparing. While he has a distinctive Spanish flair, he experiments consistently with new cultures, and you'll see the menu at the new SLS hotel divided into different regions. Andres tries his hand at foods from both Miami and Singapore alongside the expected Spanish cuisine. If you're picking a hotel based on its food, SLS is definitely going to delight you on your next South Beach stay. If you find yourself on the west coast instead, the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills will give you the same Jose Andres experience, and you can never forget his Washington, DC, staples, Jaleo and Minibar.
