Longtime marijuana activist and entrepreneur Ed Forchion, better known as NJWeedman, is opening a weed lounge in Wynwood and filming a reality show about it.
The lounge, the Joint of Miami, is set to open in early summer. According to NJWeedman, it will be a place for Miami s cannabis community to gather. It s a place for local potheads to drift over, he tells
New Times.
The lounge will also display artworks by local artists. I painted the entire inside black to serve as canvases for the artists. I m an art lover, says NJWeedman, adding that he hopes to get the new lounge involved in Miami Art Week this December.
Fernandez s career next took him to Canada, where he worked in several kitchens before landing the role of head chef at the since-closed Nyood Restaurant and Lounge in Toronto.
In 2014, Fernandez moved to Miami to head the kitchen at Byblos in South Beach. There, he created a menu inspired by the Eastern Mediterranean and the Maghreb region of Northwest Africa. Fernandez also continued pursuing his culinary studies, earning the title of Certified Executive Chef from the American Culinary Federation and serving as assistant dean of the since-shuttered Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Miami.
Amid the pandemic, Fernandez opened Tur Kitchen, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant in Coral Gables. The chef parted ways with the restaurant and, before his death, created several tasting meals for Chèvre, a cheese shop and restaurant that will open soon in Miami.

Last year, the Quarantini was all the rage, Guerrero tells
New Times. This year, we wanted to find a way to make people smile and create some cocktails with a fun method of delivery the syringes to accomplish that goal.
Guerrero named the drinks after the vaccines. The Fieyzer is similar to the phonetic spelling of the most widely recognized vaccine. Antigua means old in Spanish, so this is a play on the opposite of Modern. Also, Jota & Jota stands for J&J in Spanish. We wanted each drink to be unique so guests can pick their favorite.

Nasajon serves as executive chef, while Potts sees to the bar program. Cocktails come fruity and fizzy (shaken) or bold and boozy (stirred), and the food is significantly elevated from the usual pub grub. Favorite like chicken wings and ramen bowls come with a sophisticated twist.
