Stop Discounting.
Start Creating.

Miami Spice is a great program. It fills seats in August. But ask any operator what it does to the bottom line and you'll get the same answer: it drives cash flow, not profit. So we picked 10 restaurants we believe in and asked one question: what would you make if discounting wasn't the goal? One off-menu item. Limited availability. No discounts.

What's Included.

Every restaurant in Off Menu gets the full WGM editorial treatment: newsletter feature, a What's Good video, and one off-menu item available in limited quantity. One item. Four channels. Nothing discounted.
01 / Newsletter

Newsletter Feature

Your restaurant and your off-menu item featured in the WGM newsletter, read by 20,000+ high-intent subscribers who act on recommendations and come back as regulars.

02 / Video

What's Good Video

Your restaurant featured in a What's Good video, produced by the WGM team, distributed across every channel. The item, the chef, the room: shown, not just written about.

03 / Creation

One Off-Menu Item

One off-menu item, created by your kitchen. Not on your printed menu, not available to walk-ins. You decide what it is. No item is pre-selected or offered by WGM.

04 / Access

Limited Availability

The item is made in limited quantity for the run of the program. Not an everyday menu addition. Once it's gone for the day, it's gone.

How It Works

Four Steps. One Season.

A simple, defined process. One item, limited availability, no discounting. Your feature goes live to 20,000+ subscribers. You run your kitchen.

Step 01
Apply.
10 spots only. All restaurants must be approved for inclusion by the What's Good Miami editorial team. This isn't paid placement. It's curated.
Step 02
Create the Item.
One food item, designed by your kitchen. Something your kitchen is proud to put its name on. Not a repackaged Spice special. No item is pre-selected by WGM.
Step 03
Off Menu Goes Live.
From August 1 through September 15, your item and video are featured across WGM's newsletter and channels, on rotation for the full run.
Step 04
Scarcity
Is the Draw.
Guests come in knowing the item is made in limited quantity. No link, no gimmick, just a reason to show up before it's gone for the day.

Why
We
Win.
Trust is the asset. Everything else monetizes from it.

We maintain a strict wall between editorial and commercial.

We don't sell coverage. We don't manipulate rankings.

That independence is what makes an Off Menu feature worth more than a Miami Spice listing. It isn't something every restaurant in the city can buy into. It's something our editorial team decides is worth telling 20,000+ subscribers about.

What's Good Miami gives brands credibility they can't manufacture.

Taste Is Not For Sale.

The Fine Print.

01

Limited to 10 restaurants. No exceptions. The cap is what makes the list mean something.

02

One item per restaurant. Not a menu of options: one dish, done well.

03

All Off Menu features run August 1 through September 15.

04

The item is made in limited availability for the run of the program. No exceptions once it's gone for the day.

The Package

One Item. One Number.

1996: the year Miami Beach popped off. Not a round number. A reference. This isn't a discount program, so it isn't priced like one.
