Norman’s New Project

Local legend Norman Van Aken has resurfaced on the South Florida dining scene with Norman’s 180 in Coral Gables. As the name implies, both cuisine and ambience are a 180-degree departure (well, maybe more like 125 degrees) from his original namesake restaurant, Norman’s — less upscale and complex; more casual, local ingredient-oriented, boldly flavored, and affordable. Dishes on the globetrotting menu range from Colombian arepas to Vietnamese pho to fried chicken and collard greens.
