In this episode of Just the Tip, Felix Bendersky of F+B Hospitality Brokerage sits down with Daniel Figueredo — the visionary founder behind Sanguich, one of Miami’s most talked-about Cuban sandwich concepts and a proud recipient of a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Daniel’s story is anything but traditional.

Before launching one of Miami’s most beloved food brands, he built a career across fashion, design, and retail construction, working with major names like Cuba Vera and even spending time in the world of luxury with LVMH’s TAG Heuer.

Then everything changed.

After the 2008 financial crisis reshaped his path, Daniel took a leap into the food world — turning setbacks into momentum and building Sanguich from a simple container concept into a nationally recognized Miami success story.

This conversation is packed with insight for anyone interested in restaurant growth, brand-building, entrepreneurship, and the real business behind Miami hospitality.
