Dewan Huell is the only Miami native on the University of Miami men’s basketball team, and he wears that distinction proudly with a giant “3-0-5” tattooed on his right tricep.
The former Miami Norland star, who is having a breakout sophomore season and leads the 18th-ranked Hurricanes in scoring heading into Monday’s home game against seventh-ranked Duke, has also become the team’s unofficial culinary tour guide.
“The guys were looking for foods you don’t really find much in Coral Gables, so I started taking them to my favorite food spots up north — Miami Finga Lickin’ on Northwest 125 Street and Seventh Ave, Jackson Soul Food [in Opa Locka] and Golden Krust Bakery, which has great Jamaican patties,” Huell said.
