Michelin-Starred Chef José Ramírez-Ruiz Plans Pop-Up and Miami Restaurant

Over the last year José Ramírez-Ruiz, the chef-owner of Brooklyn’s now-closed, Michelin-starred vegetable-forward restaurant Semilla, quietly moved to Miami and worked a corporate consulting job as he conceptualized his next endeavor. Last week, he quit that job to throw himself headlong into his next project: a Miami-based evolution of Semilla using a palette of ingredients previously unseen in the tasting menus that regularly drew crowds to his 465-square-foot restaurant.
