Another experiment completed, this time with Chef Paula DaSilva of 1500° restaurant at the Eden Roc Hotel on Miami Beach. For most of the dinner we had moonlit ocean views on the back terrace, until raindrops drove us inside. Fortunately, the crispy-skinned suckling pig porchetta made it inside before getting wet.
