James Beard Nominated Baker Jim Lahey Opening Outpost in Miami

According to the Miami Herald, popular NYC bakery Sullivan Street is making its way down to Miami with plans to open an outpost in the booming Little Haiti/MiMO area at 5550-5570 NE Fourth Ave.

The bakery's owner Jim Lahey has partnered with Steven Perricone of Perricone’s Marketplace & Café to open the bakery. He tells Eater that the two met a few years ago through mutual friends.

Lahey has built quite the reputation for himself in NYC over the past 20 years with his "no-knead bread" and baked goods, selling them to more than 250 restaurants in NYC, according to the Herald. He is also currently a finalist for this year's James Beard Foundation award for Outstanding Baker.

No word on when Sullivan Street is slated to open. Stay tuned for more details. [Miami Herald]
