Miami Rabbit Bistro Gets Michelin Star
Le Lapin, a small bunny bistro in Miami, was awarded a coveted Michelin star, the first for any U.S.-based rabbit eatery.
The small 12 seat restaurant landed on the culinary map last year after a review in Saveur magazine called their dill salad, “a revelation on a plate.” Following that review, the restaurant has had a minimum two-month wait for reservations.
It serves a single, $225 per person prix fixe menu that changes daily.
Restauranteur Jean Toussaint, who is an investor in Le Lapin, said even with the star they won’t be raising prices or expanding. “We have had a vision since day one,” he said, “and we’ll continue to execute it.”
Le Lapin also holds the distinction of being the only Michelin starred restaurant that serves rabbits, rather than serving rabbit.

Cat’s Fish-Flavored Ice Cream Truck Closes After All Inventory Is Mysteriously Eaten
Age of Aquarium, a darling of the Brooklyn, NY food truck scene, has closed after all of its inventory of fish-flavored ice cream was mysteriously eaten last night. The cat-owned truck has been a favorite among locals since opening earlier this summer and scoring a profile in New York magazine.
The truck was parked near Prospect Park this morning with a sign that said, “All Sold Out. Closed Indefinitely.” However, sources close to the situation say that the ice cream was not sold out, but rather, consumed.
“There were definitely signs,” said fellow food truck owner Giorgio Amon. “All the ice cream scoops were clean, the truck was fully stocked with cones and toppings, but the ice cream bins were licked clean. Highly suspicious.”
Co-owners George and Wheezy declined to comment, but a spokesperson said they were nursing pretty severe “tummy aches.”
