Miami DJ Cedric Gervais and partner Juan Carlos Dominguez are opening their Hed Kandi Lounge

tonight. Located in the former Afterglo space (1200 Washington Avenue, Miami),

this "gastro-lounge" will showcase molecular gastronomy. For those who

aren't sure what this means, let's just say that the photo above is of

flying bacon plantains, and the one below is the bruschetta:

The

name comes from the UK-based label Hed Kandi, and music played here

will be curated from that inventory. The lounge aspect is a major one,

and there promises to be "high-octane dance-floor glamour".
