Chef Edgar Leal split his childhood between New York City and his hometown of El Tigre in rural Venezuela. That mix of Manhattan sophistication and Latin American tradition produced Cacao, which has quickly become one of Miami's most popular restaurants. Owner Leal and wife Mariana Montero take the timeless dishes your abuela (grandmother) cooked, like seviche, tamales and bobo de camarao (shrimp in cassava and coconut-milk sauce), and "deconstruct them," as Leal says, into haute cuisine with a presentation that can be as much fun as Carnaval. They have coaxed surprisingly velvety textures and piquant tastes...
...lineup quit, having made enough money to retire from his grueling school. The 53-year-old Belu, who describes himself as an "unsuccessful gymnast," has a friendly disposition but runs a tight ship. The athletes train in two or three groups on different apparatuses, while Belu and Mariana Bitang, his coaching partner, cajole and encourage them from the sidelines.

Yet Martha is famously tightfisted and, as testimony showed, an extremely demanding client. She was traveling to a resort in Mexico with her friend Mariana Pasternak. But through a series of phone calls she learned what Waksal was up to. She called Faneuil, who told her Bacanovic thought she might like to act on the information, which she soon did. Pasternak testified that Stewart later said to her, "Isn't it nice to have brokers...
Martha Stewart and Mariana Pasternak were friends for more than 20 years. They spoke on the phone almost every day and lived around the corner from each other in tony Westport, Conn. They went on vacations together, to places like Brazil, Egypt and the Galapagos Islands, where they would laugh that again they had no male company, but at least they had each other...
