Miami chef Michelle Bernstein takes some bites out of the Keys in a new one-hour special called “Taste the Florida Keys with Chef Michelle Bernstein.”
The South Florida PBS program debuts at 9 p.m. Feb. 11 on WPBT-Ch. 2 in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and at 8 p.m. Feb. 14 on WXEL-Ch. 42 in West Palm Beach.
In the documentary, Bernstein hopscotches along the 125 miles of the Keys to explore some of the region’s island foods and culinary delights.

She’ll also highlight Key West chef Paul Menta’s distilled rum and fruits
