Miami Dish emerges from its winter hibernation. Happy new year, dear readers! Miami New Times‘ Lee Klein included a list of some of the restaurants that closed their doors in 2008 in his year-end review. We can add Abokado to the list, although their website says the closing is temporary.

Coconut Grove Farmers Market

Let us also not forget Delicious Organics, the online organic food warehouse which closed its doors in 2008.

Hard times? Survival of the fittest? Innovation, quality, and value will definitely be rewarded this year. I am optimistic that South Florida’s food scene can only continue to improve.

I am strengthening my commitment to support local restaurants, farms, markets and other food-related businesses in 2009. Like most of us, I have less to spend on treats and going out to eat, so I want to make a point of spending my dollar on the businesses that I want to make sure stick around.
