Since drawing the national spotlight in the mid 1990’s, Chef Michelle Bernstein has remained one of the region’s most well respected and successful chefs and restaurateurs. A Miami native of Jewish and Latin descent, her passion has dazzled diners and critics alike, due to her sublime cuisine and a personality as bright and vibrant as the Florida sun. These days, Bernstein is busier than ever. She recently opened Crumb on Parchment, a cozy café in the heart of the Miami Design District, and continues to operate Michy’s and Sra. Martinez. Beyond a family of successful restaurants and her own family, Bernstein dedicates time to Common Threads (an after-school program for underprivileged kids), is actively promoting her new line of cookware and cutlery, “Michelle B” and regularly appears on an array of national TV shows, from Top Chef to Good Morning America.
