do you balance indulgence with maintaining peak physical condition as an athlete? TERRON: I covered my favorite spot in an earlier answer, so I will mostly tailor this answer to the second part of this question. It can be challenging with so many amazing cuisines down here and types of food and cultures. From Jamaican to Cuban, Italian, the Hispanic scene; it’s incredible. So you definitely have to be disciplined and be a professional. I’ve been in the league going on 12 years now, so you’ve got to have that balance. I love to go out and hit different restaurants and try new food, but it’s all about not overdoing it and being a professional, sticking to your routine the best way you can. I have a personal chef, Ronnie King, and he is incredible. He keeps me exactly where I need to be. He is a top chef. He is the man. I can’t express that enough. ML: The city comes alive after dark with its legendary nightlife scene. Do you have any favorite spots to unwind and enjoy a night out? TERRON: Back when I was visiting Miami, before I became a Dolphins player and a resident here, I was here for more of the restaurants and the nightlife, much more than I am now. So you have the popular spots like LIV on Sunday. But now what I hit are the restaurants that transitioned into more of a lounge type vibe, so you got Komodo, Victory, Takato even - the spot I spoke about earlier as my favorite restaurant, which is right on the beach and it’s beautiful. Playa Miami is one on the South Beach side that has a restaurant in it that transitions into a more lounge environment. Those are the spots I like to visit. ML: Taking all of the above into account, what is your favorite thing about living in Miami? TERRON: That’s very hard to say because it’s a combination of things. There are so many perks and benefits to being here, there really are no complaints. The weather, the energy, the environment, the culture, the history, the diversity, there is so much to enjoy, so much to do, so much to learn, it’s almost impossible to pinpoint a #1. I can say my team of course: being a Miami Dolphin is incredible, it’s a dream come true. It’s just a whole combination of things that I just feel very honored and blessed to be here and be a part of this city. It’s been incredible. Follow Terron on Instagram By ML Staff.
