New restaurant Walrus Rodeo opens in Miami's Little Haiti

• Chef and partner Jeff Maxfield — formerly of Toscana Divino, Ironside Pizza and LTD Café — will run the kitchen.

What stands out: Walrus Rodeo's menu centers around its wood-fired oven and includes items such as turnip salad, pizza with boquerones (anchovies), and lasagna with lamb ragù.

• A s'mores dessert made with churros and spiced chocolate is even cooked in the oven.

About that name: Luciana Giangrandi (who owns the restaurant with Alex Meyer) told Axios, "Rodeos are places for fun, gathering and celebration, and Walrus Rodeo is just a fun place!"

• She said it goes with the restaurant's iconography, "from country western wallpaper with punk rockers and surfers and our current sticker with a duck riding a skateboard."

While we're at it, Boia De is an Italian phrase meaning, essentially, "a nice surprise," Giangrandi once told CBS 4.
