Another Day, Another Restaurant Debut...

Miami DJ Cedric Gervais and partner Juan Carlos Dominguez are opening their Hed Kandi Lounge tonight. Located in the former Afterglo space (1200 Washington Avenue), this "gastro-lounge" will showcase molecular gastronomy. For those who aren't sure what this means, let's just say that the photo above is of flying bacon plantains, and the one below is the bruschetta:

The name comes from the UK-based label Hed Kandi, and music played here will be curated from that inventory. The lounge aspect is a major one, and there promises to be "high-octane dance-floor glamour".
