The new year is already off to a great start when it comes to restaurant openings and fresh updates in Greater Boston's dining scene. In the months ahead, we have major restaurant openings from Michelin chefs and famous New York restaurateurs, as well as a swell of diverse and delicious smaller restaurants joining our neighborhoods. Each week, Boston.com will highlight the restaurant openings worth knowing about across the region.

Every December, Art Basel Miami Beach turns the city into a weeklong collision of creativity - and not just inside the Miami Beach Convention Center, where more than 250 leading galleries descend with blue-chip works, emerging artists, and plenty of spectacle.

Every Sunday at Be.Steak.A, located in the Pruneyard shopping center, a $135-per-person buffet featuring about 130 different items takes over part of the dining room, the bar and even the kitchen. There are omelet, Belgian waffle and carving stations, a self-serve caviar bar and an over-the-top dessert selection. "We're doing something that nobody else is doing in the Bay Area at this point," said chef and owner Jeffrey Stout.

We ask chefs across Ireland who currently hold one or more Michelin stars to share their greatest culinary secret: from pizza and pasta to steak and seafood, pastries, toasties and more, where do they eat when off-duty? Nobody earns a Michelin star without really knowing food, and they don't just turn that knowledge and skill off when they want to eat something casual.

It is self-described as the "Oscars of fine wine," with the previous events held in London, Florence, Paris, and Madrid. The award ceremony highlights the best of fine wine and spirits, as judged by more than a thousand wine industry professionals. For attendees, it's a pricey weekend filled with rare wine, dinners from Michelin-starred restaurant chefs, and even a private jet trip to the Bahamas.
