Brandon's Bistro

Brandon's African-American Bistro is a culinary institution with a passion for crafting truly unforgettable dining experiences.

Starex Smith aka The Hungry Black Man is an influencer-turned-restaurateur who has now opened his second eatery, Brandon’s Bistro in Pembroke Pines, a scratch kitchen highlighting coastal Southern cooking rooted in the African-American diaspora, from Savannah and Jacksonville to Gullah Geechee cuisine in the Lowcountry.

To pull it off, Smith partnered with retired Super Bowl champion Kayvon Webster and former NBA player and Pine Crest School grad Brandon Knight. Smith’s Smith & Webster Hospitality Group formed when he co-opened Smith & Webster in northern Miami May 2022.
