Daniel samples Chef Cindy Hutson's "cuisine of the sun" at Ortanique on the Mile, her renowned outpost of island-influenced dishes. Taking to Ortanique's kitchen, Chef Boulud prepares a compliment for his host's feast-a platter of fried quail atop braised lettuce, served with a mint-almond dipping sauce. Later, Chef Hutson and her partner/husband take Daniel on a tour through La Marqueta, Miami's gateway for the exotic fruits and vegetables of the Caribbean, before preparing an incredible meal for an amazing array of guests.

With a menu that celebrates the bounty of the Caribbean, Chef Hutson and her partner/husband Delius Shirley have been serving some of Miami's finest cuisine since 1994. Ortanique combines exotic island fruits and vegetables with local produce, seafood and meats, and borrows a wide-range of techniques and influences from Jamaica, Trinidad, Puerto Rico and beyond. A sophisticated yet laid-back setting, potent rum drinks and a distinct Caribbean flavor caters to an adoring Miami crowd.
