Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorshipAnd finally, Miami-Dade County Placement Specialist Maria Serralta Valera is ready to get you a table at her pick with unique dishes served at just the right temperature.
She says the presentation and flavor will blow you away.
It's located in Miami and it's called Mr. And Mrs. Bun.
Hi, my name is Vanessa Rivera.
I'm the owner of Mr. and Mrs Bun, and we're located in West Kendall.
We've been established since 2015.
The idea start as we came here to United States to Miami and my partner, which is Gian Carlo Accinelli which is a chef as well.
We're both are chefs.
We try to build the American dream.
Well this is a very twist menu.
We didn't want you to make it like very Peruvian because that's a lot of competition.
So we trying to give it just a little kick or little glitter, little sparkle.
And bring the part of Peru that nobody knows, which was the sandwich.
The most popular dishes probably will be the pork belly sandwich.
Panceta En Caja China.
That's a Peruvian classic sandwich.
We also have the Asado con Palta, which is the eye round roast with avocado and red onions.
Everything here, we made it with love.
That's our phrase.
We put our hundred percent on every single plate that we give to our customers.
So Mr. And Mrs. Bun probably, I would say and describe as.
Worries with bread are Less.
Why is this place so special to you?
Maria, I know you love it.
I love this place.
I've been going there since they first opened many years ago.
And my son was like a year old.
[Michelle] Well, we don't know how old your son is now.
He's eight.
Okay, yes, all right.
They are obviously very small family owned restaurant.
I love that they bake their own buns.
Okay, so every bread you have there is fresh baked by them daily.
[Michelle] Oh, awesome.
Why I love them is because their service and food is consistently good.
You know, there's places that you'll go and the food is great one day, but not so great the next.
I have never in seven years had a bad meal or bad service.
So you went in, you found, I wanna know what you thought about the decor there.
But also tell me about the spice rack.
So the decor is, it's very creative.
They had, first thing that caught my eye was this spice rack with the very spice bottles inside encased in glass.
And it said, "Break glass in case of emergency."
So I thought that was very whimsical.
[Michelle] Cute.
I liked the idea of it, it was great.
And just, it's very homey.
The moment you walk in, it just gives you a kind of a casual feel for a great place to have lunch.
[Maria] It's very positive, just a really nice place to be.
It's warm and inviting.
It's very relaxing.
Yeah, and the service was, I mean it was just spot on.
Well tell me what you had this last time.
So I had the Oriental Crispy chicken sandwich.
It's called Pollo Chi Jao Kai.
Please, I butchered it, I know I did.
It is incredible.
So it's dark meat chicken and it's breaded, but like a crisp, not greasy breading.
And then it's served on their homemade bun with like an oriental sauce.
It is just insane, delicious.
I love that all their sandwiches come out on a wood cutting board with you know, the stamp with their restaurant name.
It's very cute.
Oh, cute.
You had some great starters though.
I did have some great starters, I had Truffle chicharones.
The truffle chicharone.
So the truffle chicharones are delicious.
They're fresh made there.
They're very fluffy and you bite into them and you can taste all the flavors.
I want some right now.
[Michelle] Tell me about the dumplings.
The dumplings were so good.
It was short rib and cream cheese, and they were deep fried, and they came with a sauce.
Again, no idea what the sauce was, but I could drink it.
Very, very good as well.
Very crisp, and then very creamy filling.
Very delicious.
Richard, tell me what you had.
Two sandwiches, my wife had the same sandwich.
The oriental chicken sandwich.
I'm not gonna say the long name, 'cause I might butcher it as well, but it was wonderful.
My wife commented how crispy the chicken was.
It was with chicken thigh meat.
And I had the Asado sandwich.
The meat was just very soft and tender.
It came with avocado and fried onion on top.
[Michelle] Do you know what cut it was?
It was actually top round.
So it was the Boliche cut, delicious.
Absolutely delicious.
You also had a soup, I think it was tomato basil.
Yes, I couldn't forget the soup.
So they had a tomato basil soup that paired with my sandwich.
One of the best tomato basil soups I've ever had.
I almost wish it was colder in South Florida so I could go just for the soup.
We don't have enough cold days down here, but it was delicious.
Very fresh, you could taste the basil.
Nice creaminess to it, wonderful soup.
Carol Ann, tell me what you had.
Oh, I might need a little bit of refreshing with this.
[Michelle] No worries.
Queso Frito Sliders to start.
Oh yes, those I think, I have to say I think those were my favorite.
These sliders came out, the buns, you are correct.
They are just amazing.
It was like a fried cheese.
[Michelle] Queso Frito.
Oh my goodness.
Good stuff.
[Carol Ann] With the caramelized onions on top, and they had, [Michelle] Can you describe, are the buns, first of all, are the buns all the same bun?
I don't know.
No, they have different ones for different things.
But this bun was, I mean it was, and there was three of them.
[Michelle] And a pork belly sandwich too.
[Carol Ann] The pork belly sandwich was very, very, very, yes [Michelle] It's your favorite.
Yes, it was very good.
That was with the yellow sauce next to it.
So the yellow pepper sauce to it.
And then he came out with the tray of desserts in mason jars.
And I had to go for the traditional dessert, 'cause I'm not a Peruvian food, I didn't have a whole lot of knowledge before I went.
I looked at it a little bit, but it was [Michelle] Lucuma, Lucuma, did you have Lucuma?
[Carol Ann] Oh, it was amazing, it was sweet.
[Michelle] That's one of my favorites.
[Carol Ann] Oh my.
[Richard] That's what I had.
You had a cake.
I had I love their cakes.
So I love, Peruvians have to make the best chocolate dulce de leche cake ever.
And so they had it that night, the day I went.
So I absolutely ordered that.
And it's probably like a four-layer cake.
And it's this moist, very, very fudgey chocolate cake with layers of dulce de leche in the middle.
And it is my absolute favorite.
So it was delicious, again, as usual.
You all had something to drink.
[Maria] I had pisco.
You had pisco.
Whiskey sour.
[Maria] So good, so good.
So we came at brunch time.
So when you're doing brunch, Sangria is the way to go.
So very refreshing.
[Michelle] Was it a white or a red?
[Richard] We had a red, we had a red.
And we loved it, it was great.
Well Maria, Mr. And Mrs. Bun was your choice.
Sum it up for us please.
Consistently good quality food and service.
Absolutely recommend it.
[Michelle] Carol Ann.
Absolutely, I would walk 10,000 miles.
Isn't that the song?
It was far, but it was worth it.
[Michelle] Richard.
