For the third consecutive year, James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Schwartz, renowned for his Design District restaurant Michael\u2019s Genuine<\/a>, is opening a full French bistro inside Design Miami during Art Week in Miami. But no, it\u2019s not a booth, and it\u2019s certainly not a stand. The pop-up, called Michael\u2019s Genuine Bistro<\/a>, is a fully functioning restaurant built from scratch inside the fair\u2019s massive tent, complete with a kitchen, a bar, and a team that will serve close to a thousand people a day.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is like opening a restaurant in a week for a week,\u201d Schwartz says. \u201cThere is plywood everywhere, booths going up, people sanding and painting. It is organized chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n Michael\u2019s Genuine Bistro photo<\/p>\n A Bistro That Feels Like Paris with Michael\u2019s Signature Twists<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis year, make your gift count \u2013 \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOur work is funded by readers like you who make voluntary gifts because they value our work and want to see it continue. Make a contribution today to help us reach our $30,000 goal!\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n The bistro, which runs from Wednesday, December 3, through Sunday, December 8, draws inspiration from both Paris and Michael\u2019s Genuine. Last year\u2019s favorites return, including escargot in parsley butter, croque madame, duck confit, mussels with fries, and braised short rib frites. This year, Schwartz is also folding in a few signatures from Michael\u2019s Genuine, such as thick-cut potato chips with pan-fried onion dip and deviled eggs.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have always seen Michael\u2019s Genuine as an American brasserie,\u201d he says. \u201cSo leaning French for Design Miami feels natural. The fair is very international and very European, so the food fits the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n The operation behind it is massive. Schwartz and his team load equipment, prep areas, and inventory a week in advance. Hot food is cooked in an outdoor, protected tent, then carried into the main pavilion, where cold prep, salads, and the plating station are located. The entire operation is staffed by a mix of restaurant veterans and newly trained temporary staff, many of whom are learning the system in real-time.<\/p>\n Design plays a key role. The furniture is provided by the fair, and Schwartz then layers in elements that reference Michael\u2019s Genuine. The look mixes blonde wood with plants, bottles, cookbooks, and family photos. Everything is vetted by the Design Miami team.<\/p>\n \u201cWe try to bring in the feel of Michael\u2019s Genuine without overwhelming the space,\u201d he says. \u201cThe goal is warmth. You want it to feel like a little escape inside a big tent.\u201d<\/p>\n That escape is exactly what he hopes fair goers find. \u201cIt is a place to sit and have a proper meal or just grab a glass of champagne or a coffee,\u201d he says. \u201cPeople can take a break from the noise and the crowds and just enjoy themselves. That is the whole point.\u201d<\/p>\n Michael\u2019s Genuine Bistro at Design Miami.
