Can anyone recommend a local source in Miami for hard-to-find specialty ingredients?
I’m based in Miami and looking for a specific, hard-to-find food ingredient for my restaurant.
I’d prefer a local supplier that can deliver, rather than ordering nationally or through a big distributor.
If you’ve sourced rare or specialty ingredients locally — especially from small producers or niche suppliers — I’d love to know who you trust and how reliable they are. -
Do local suppliers really make a difference to margins?
I’m considering switching some products to local suppliers but worried about consistency and pricing.
For those who’ve gone local — was it worth it financially, operationally, or just from a branding perspective?
