Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! No, it's a plane! No, wait -- it's a brisket sandwich on rye! Located in the Sky Lobby of the I.M. Pei-designed Bank of America Tower is Sky Grille, a cafeteria mostly inhabited by the building's sizable workforce -- but open to the public. The corporate-handsome dining room follows the famous curve of the building, and a glass wall affords diners a bird's-eye view of downtown. An outdoor terrace with umbrella-shaded tables is even more picturesque, but the most breathtaking sight might very well be that of the food: It is miles above typical cafeteria fare. Grab a tray and mosey along the various stations (all clean and modern) until you find something that strikes your fancy. A salad bar at the front tempts with a wide array of garnishes and greens ($5.60 per pound), but so does the hot food station, which pumps out freshly grilled sandwiches (meaty churrasco, Philadelphia cheese steak) and full, warm meals. On any given day the latter might include paella, chicken Marsala, pork loin with citrus mojo sauce, or seared mahi-mahi -- with roll and two sides or salads it totals $6.99; two dollars more and you are privy to a 22-ounce soda and dessert. There is also a cold-sandwich station, where the breads (five types, including ciabatta) are stuffed with Italian coldcuts, mozzarella, tomatoes, chicken salad, and the like ($5 to $6). A one-third-pound hamburger off the grill is just $3.95. It's a gorgeous place to enjoy breakfast too -- Sky Grille opens for that meal from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.; lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Also, Thursday and Friday evening cocktails from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.! So, the next time you are trying to think of a new place to eat downtown, look up in the sky. The unique Sky Lobby Terrace, located on the 11th floor, features outside dining, a reflecting pool, lush landscaping and panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, Coral Gables, Miami International Airport and downtown Miami.

where can i find your daily lunch specials?
I went back to Sky Grill today, because IT’S PEE SOUP DAY!
(I love pee soup.)
I ordered the vegi-plate and sat down full of enthusiasm.
(I REALLY love pee soup.)
I started with the pre-packaged pasta salad.
(Tasty, but could use more dressing.)
Then, a bit of the cubed sweet potatoes.
(A nice twist. Makes me wonder what fried, cubed sweet potatoes would be like.)
Then, a big scoop of PEE SOUP!
(Oh, oh. A foreign taste.
Oh,no! Those are bits of PIG FLESH in the pee soup!)
They used to make the pee soup without pig flesh.
It was wonderful.
Why did they change the recipe?
Why didn’t they warn people there are bits of PIG FLESH in their pee soup?
A growing number of people are avoiding meat for health reasons.
A growing number of people are avoiding meat for ethical reasons.
Many people continue to avoid eating PIGS for religious reasons.
These are not small factions of the population, and our numbers are growing.
Bottom Line: Please don’t put PIGS in pee soup.
If you do, please warn people.
Perhaps they can add a symbol to your menu cards for “vegetarian”.
P.S. Taking that big scoop of PIG INFESTED soup ruined my appetite, and I threw the whole meal away.
Imagine you were invited to dinner and they served Italian Wedding Soup with TURD balls, instead of meat balls.
Would you still be in the mood to eat the rest of your meal after munching on TURDS?
