A Tribute to Tobacco Road
$$ - BURGERS, BAR
The old dive bar on South Miami Avenue which closed in 2014 has been revived by Kush and Lokal owner Matt Kuscher as a pop-up. The food is typical of Kuscher’s restaurants, elevated bar food that goes well with beer: chili, barbecue chicken nachos, bang-bang shrimp. The menu will offer wings, as Tobacco Road did, and the team has recreated the Road’s Death Burger — which Kuscher said took several tries to get to taste authentic. Yes, there will be craft beer, which is Kuscher’s passion, but given Tobacco Road’s pedigree, there is also “beer I wouldn’t dream of serving in my other restaurants:” cheap, fizzy, cold yellow and, in one case, paired with a shot of Jagermeister.
