Miami Beach, FL - January 23-24, 2021 - Global restaurant company Major Food Group (MFG) launched the first stage of its Florida expansion with a Miami Beach outpost of the universally acclaimed Italian eatery CARBONE. The restaurant opened to the public on Tuesday, January 26th, but over the weekend MFG owners Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi — along with Miami partner Alex Pirez — hosted their friends, family, and collaborators for dinner. Notable attendees included Dan Loeb, Jim Chanos, Peter Thiel, Vito Schnabel, Vlad Doronin, Richard LeFrak, Val Blavatnik, Steve Stoute, Alan Tisch, Michael Simkins, Mark Roberts, Barry Sternlicht, Craig Robins & Jackie Soffer, Jason & Michelle Rubell, Manny Machado, Jon Chetrit, Michael Fuchs and JP Perez. Located at 49 Collins Avenue in the heart of the South of Fifth neighborhood, the restaurant will offer all of CARBONE's signature dishes, including the famous Spicy Rigatoni, as well as several new additions, like the Scallop Crudo with Pistachio and Key Lime, Stone Crab Knuckle Sandwiches, and a Coconut Lime Chiffon Cake. MFG co-founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi are known for creating dynamic spaces that attract a wide audience — from neighborhood regulars to leaders in media, business, politics, and the arts — thanks to their exceptional food, sense of celebration, and design contributions from some of the best in the field. MFG now operates 26 restaurants worldwide; more Miami projects are forthcoming. World Red Eye went behind the scenes with the owners to get an exclusive first-look at the restaurant and discuss what more MFG has in store for Miami. Read the full Q&A below. By Gaby Cuevas
