This iconic Italian sandwich shop is opening two locations in Miami
The cult-favorite sandwich spot that draws hour-long queues in Florence —and countless TikToks from foodies trying to beat the line—is officially heading to Miami. All'Antico Vinaio, the legendary panini shop renowned for its crispy Tuscan schiacciata bread and decadent, overstuffed sandwiches, will open two Florida outposts this summer, one on Lincoln Road and another in Brickell.
Founded in 1991 by the Mazzanti family, the original Florence shop began as a humble wine-and-snack counter before evolving into a global sensation, earning the title 'Home of the World's Best Sandwiches' from Saveur in 2016. Today, with , Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Dubai, All'Antico Vinaio continues to sling its signature schiacciata bread and cured meats to eager crowds.
Now, Miami gets its turn.

The new locations promise to channel the same rustic charm and flavor as the Italian flagship, with sandwiches piled high with prosciutto, creamy pecorino, truffle spreads and sun-dried tomatoes slicked with olive oil. Favorites like La Favolosa (featuring spicy eggplant and salame) and La Paradiso (that's stracciatella and pistachio cream) are expected to join the menu, alongside the shop's famously messy—and Instagrammable—creations.
Driving the brand's stateside expansion is Tommaso Mazzanti, who teamed up with Tanya Bastianich Manuali and her brother, restaurateur and MasterChef judge Joe Bastianich. The group has maintained a consistent feel across locations, featuring bread baked fresh daily, imported Italian ingredients and a vibe that exudes Italian street food with a touch of chic.
Though exact opening dates haven't been announced yet, we suggest brushing up on your sandwich-ordering Italian (and patience). Judging by the buzz in every city it lands in, All'Antico Vinaio is likely to bring Lincoln Road to a standstill.

You can eat a tasting menu right on the NASCAR Chicago race track this summer
What's more thrilling than a high-speed NASCAR race? How about carb-loading right where the cars take off? This summer, Chicago Gourmet is rolling out one of its most daring (and delicious) experiences yet: a five-course Italian tasting menu served smack on the NASCAR Chicago Street Race track. On Wednesday, July 2, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the race's start/finish line will transform into the city's most unexpected fine-dining venue, blending Michelin-caliber cuisine with pit-lane vibes. As part of the Chicago Gourmet Festival's new 'Culinary World Series,' the event marks a high-octane kickoff to the city's biggest food celebration and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to toast with wine where tires usually burn rubber. The chef lineup is stacked with Chicago stars, including Fabio Viviani (Siena Tavern, Bar Siena), Tony Priolo (Piccolo Sogno), Joe Frillman and Leigh Omilinsky (Daisies) and Steve Maak (Levy Restaurants). The night's theme: bold Italian flavors, dished out trackside with flair. Diners can expect signature race-day cocktails from Jose Cuervo (the official tequila of the NASCAR Chicago Street Race, naturally) and a "Cup Series" of wine pairings from legendary Italian winery Marchesi Antinori. There's even an emcee—culinary personality, Catherine De Orio—to steer the evening along. Tickets cost $250 per person, and proceeds benefit the Illinois Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports the state's hospitality workforce. This isn't Chicago Gourmet's only sports-forward event this year. Friday, July 25, brings a Duck Dog face-off at the Crosstown Classic, and Wednesday, August 20 features led by chefs from Virtue.

Popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the US after being detained by ICE
The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained on Friday at Harry Reid International Airport – but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the US on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa', the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment on Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the US comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the US to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the US for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks'. He has more than 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multiyear partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a Unicef goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the US.
