Joe's Stone Crab
Résumé
Joe's Stone Crab, also known as Joe's Stone Crabs, is an American restaurant in Miami Beach, Florida. In 1998 the restaurant won an America’s Classic Award from the James Beard Foundation
Joe Weiss began his Miami Beach career by cooking at Smith's Casino beginning in 1913. On December 4, 1920, Joe officially opened his own restaurant at 213 Biscayne Avenue (later called Biscayne Street and now called South Pointe Drive), practically across the street from the restaurant he operated for Smith’s Casino. Joe's is the biggest buyer of Florida stone crab claws, and it plays a significant role in the industry, influencing the wholesale price and financing many crabbers.
Even though stone crabs are their most famous dish now, fish was served, rather than crabs, after the restaurant's opening. When an ichthyologist asked Weiss why he didn't serve stone crabs, he answered that no one would want to eat them. He was wrong, as they found out soon after first cooking them.
In 1913, "Hungarian-born Joe Weiss" arrived in Miami Beach from New York hoping to relieve his asthma. Five years later, he opened up the "original Joe's Restaurant" in the front room of the bungalow he shared with his wife Jennie on Biscayne Street. In 1921, an ichthyologist noticed the large number of stone crabs in the area and brought them to Joe to find out if they were edible.
In 1999, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises became involved and opened a branch in Chicago, followed by the 2005 opening in Las Vegas, Nevada, and in 2014 Washington, D.C. These branches are known as Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab to set them apart from the fourth-generation owned Miami original.
In 1998, they won an America’s Classic Award by the James Beard Foundation
Restaurant Business Magazine, the industry publication of record, reported in October 2014 that Joe's Stone Crab ranked second in the United States with 64.6 million in revenues) ranked higher.
Joe's Stone Crab is often visited by politicians, actors, and athletes.
