Aussie native, Aaron Brooks, made his way to Miami to launch EDGE Brasserie & Cocktail Bar in November 2011. A journey that took him from the Gold Coast to Vancouver and then Boston, Brooks has orbited around cultures and cuisines, from Pan-Asian to New England.
At Edge Brasserie, the indoor-meets-rooftop spot above Brickell Avenue, Chef Brooks has created an innovative menu that harmonizes seasonal elements, playing on his Australian roots and artful craft.
Staying true to his motto “Food has to be seasonal and relevant to where you are,” Chef Brooks earned himself and the restaurant multiple local and national recognitions. In the summer of 2016, he made his national TV debut when he was a guest on Cooking Channel’s Man Fire Food, showcasing Miami flavors during a backyard BBQ.
When he’s not in the kitchen, you’ll find Brooks sourcing local ingredients from nearby farms, cycling through Brickell or over to Key Biscayne, cooking at home with his family, educating Miami’s youth on the benefits of nutrition through the nonprofit organization Wellness in the Schools, or supporting Miami culinary artisans.
