A little out of our jurisdiction, but here's some interesting news. Much-acclaimed James Beard Award recipient Mark Militello has been named executive chef at the Regent Bal Harbour in Miami Beach. He unveils new menus for 1 Bleu and The View Bar in mid November. One of the champions of Florida cuisine (which some say is nearly as mythological as the Yedi or the Loch Ness), the chef was most recently at the helm of Mark’s Las Olas. 11 Bleu and The View Bar are located at The Regent Bal Harbour, 10295 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour, (305) 455-5460.
