Famous Miami Sayings

Miami, which has already aired, has this wonderful blend of Caribbean culture, Latin American culture, and Southern American culture (talking about fried chicken).

For instance, I’m in Beverly Hills right now at a hotel. I told myself, “Man, it’s so beautiful out here.

Once I leave L.A. and go back to Miami, or if I go visit New York, it’s like, “Oh man, there’s the bodega.” What I’m saying is that you can’t forget the reality. Sometimes people take success and forget about reality. ~ DJ Khaled

Also, the food’s good. ~ Anthony Bourdain

Miami is nothing like me, and that’s why I need to be here – it’s the opposite.
