A Miami native of Jewish and Latin descent, Chef Michelle Bernstein is a passionate culinaire, who has dazzled diners and critics alike with her sublime cuisine and stellar personality since she first entered the culinary spotlight in the 1990’s. Right now, diners are enjoying Bernstein’s cuisine at her three successful Miami outposts, Michy’s, Sra. Martinez, and Crumb on Parchment, which she owns and operates with her partner/husband David Martinez.
