Cooper City’s own Rachel and Peter Sudack never set out to become South Florida foodie royalty. But the couple behind @mrandmrseats has evolved into one of Broward’s most trusted, most genuine and most delicious recommendation engines.
What began as a tiny Instagram account Rachel created in New York “just to document meals,” she tells Browardist, has turned into a full-blown local tastemaking force.
Their story jumps back to pre-reels, pre-ring lights and long before trendy tasting menus became content currency. After a move from Miami Beach to Broward during COVID and pregnancy, Rachel leaned on her PR and marketing background and started posting the same way she had in NYC. The following surged. “Pre-COVID, like 2017 and 2018, I gained a ton of followers,” she says. By early 2018, Mr. and Mrs. Eats was officially born and the couple was suddenly on every local foodie’s radar.
Living in Cooper City unlocked the magic. Broward’s dining scene – with its sushi standouts, strip-mall surprises and chef-driven stunners – required more digging, she says, and more discovery, and that’s exactly where Rachel shines. Her favorites list spans sushi icons like Marumi in Plantation and Kaeru in Pembroke Pines, Fort Lauderdale picks like Kaizen and Bondi Sushi, splurge spots like MAASS and Steak 954, and even hidden gems like Effe Cafe tucked inside a Cooper City gas station. “Food defines me,” she says. “Everything I recommend is genuine and comes from the heart.”
Then TikTok happened. Broward hidden-gem videos routinely hit big figures in views and locals now cross county lines based on the Sudacks’ picks alone. The couple continues championing Broward’s rising culinary pride – more chefs, more collaborations, more community – all while keeping their genuine mission simple: help South Florida’s food scene thrive that much more.
