NOTES : Miami's new "Fusion" cooking called "New-World Cuisine" uses, for example, Latino spices; Asian ingredients, South Florida seafood and produce, and sometimes adds African or African-Caribbean flavors. On the menu at Norman's in Miami: "Calypso Calamari with Pickled Scotch Bonnet Tartar Salsa" and stir-fried tropical fruits to stuff a crepe.
