the brains behind the bites
Eat It MIA is a Miami-born food media brand serving up where to eat, what to order, and what’s actually worth the hype. What started as Jessica’s passion project has grown into a platform for guides, chef stories, hot takes, travel finds, and honest recommendations from two longtime Miami locals with big appetites and strong opinions.
We’re here to celebrate the restaurants, chefs, owners, neighborhoods, and characters that make Miami one of the most exciting food cities in the country. From Michelin-level magic to hole-in-the-wall hot dogs, we care less about being fancy and more about the people, the story, the energy, and the yum factor.
Come hungry. We have thoughts.
meet the founders
Jessica is the founder and creative force behind Eat It MIA. What began as a passion project quickly became a real platform, built through her eye for craveable content and deep love for Miami restaurants. She also knows the hospitality world from the inside out; she and her husband opened Hachidori in Miami, giving her a true behind-the-scenes perspective on what it takes to build, operate, and succeed in this crazy, delicious market.
Alana is the editorial voice and marketing brain behind Eat It MIA. A marketer by trade, she got her start in hospitality PR and comes from a family of restaurateurs, so food has always been part of the plot. After 15+ years in Miami, she’s watched the city’s restaurant scene evolve neighborhood by neighborhood; and has plenty of thoughts on what’s worth the reservation, the hype, and the credit card damage.
