Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Ramirez.
Hi Michael, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hi, my name is Michael, and I am the owner of the Instagram page Miami.delights. I’m 27 years old. I love to take pictures, try new things, and explore. I started this page to showcase Miami Culinary arts and restaurants. Miami is one of the most diverse cities in the United States. We offer various exquisite foods and flavors you will not find anywhere else.
I came across the idea while trying out the Star Beckham Pizza at Mister 01 Pizza. I was so amazed by the presentation and the taste I thought about making a food page for Instagram. At first, I thought, are people interested in looking at food photos on Instagram? Let alone follow people who post pictures of food on Instagram. Then I realized I had a two-year-old post, a picture of a steak I had in Italy that had over 500 likes. I remember getting ten likes in a matter of seconds. I broke my likes record with a picture of a steak versus a view of the colosseum in Rome. Looking back at the post convinced me to make a food page. Also, since I’m always trying new restaurants and different varieties of foods, why not record everything and post it on Instagram?
All right, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Yes! So far, things are going smoothly. Restaurant owners and employees love when I record their food and restaurant. Sometimes they offer me food to try and a hands-on view of how they prepare their food. Local restaurants are following me and liking my posts, encouraging me to do more and post more. I love my people!
All right, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
My work is all about love and support. I love helping people out and supporting small businesses.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
My view on risk-taking is that life is all about taking risks.
Without taking risks, you will not go anywhere in life. In this business, the only real risk you’re taking is buying food you never tried and hoping it tastes good.
