Introducing ’s Executive Chef, Anthony Micari.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Originally from New York, Chef Anthony Micari began his culinary career in the Northeast, refining his craft in acclaimed kitchens across Philadelphia, New Jersey, Miami, and New York. With more than two decades of experience in high-end kitchens in the U.S. and abroad, he is known for his creative approach, operational expertise, and commitment to team leadership.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Micari’s career includes a notable tenure with Starr Restaurants, where he served as Executive Sous Chef at Makoto in Miami’s Bal Harbour Shops. Now, his journey comes full circle as he leads the opening of SLIM’S in the restaurant’s original space — bringing a modern perspective to a location that helped define Miami’s luxury dining landscape. His experience within multi-concept, high-volume environments shaped his reputation as a trusted leader in refined, guest-driven hospitality.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Prior to SLIM’S, Micari held executive roles at The Country Club at DC Ranch, Sun Valley Resort, and Mourad, as well as internationally at Asiatique by Jean-Georges at La Mamounia in Marrakech. Across each chapter of his career, he has played a key role in high-profile openings and overseen complex kitchen operations with precision and excellence.
