Karen Escalera’s Biography

Food worth the calories (WTC), stylish fashion with flair, world-class culture and entertainment in Miami, beauty, plus tips on whatever exudes fabulosity. Welcome to my blog! My training to be picky was cultivated through a long career in luxury travel and the good fortune to represent and experience many of the finest hotels, cruise lines, and travel destinations in the world. (I share travel tips as well)

While living in New York City I was one of those quintessential New Yorkers who passionately researches the places to find the best bagel, freshest fish, hottest restaurant for great food and people watching, museum show, fabulous event, you name it. And I’ve taken that approach to Miami.

Curation is also about sensibilities. I want to be able to hear my companion in a restaurant, no to long lines, want fashion that’s chic and youthful but not over the top, enjoy “glam”, yes to quality and value . And quality doesn’t have to be pricey.

And I’m proud to report that the blog continues to move up in rankings in Zomato. Among well over 300 food blogs in South Florida we’re now number 2!
