Welcome to another tasty edition of Chefs Share! Each month, we share restaurant recipes from some of your favorite local chefs. These recipes don’t require professional kitchen experience, and ingredients can be found at your local supermarket or specialty store.

This month’s chef is Carey Hynes of Jaguar Sun in Downtown Miami. Hynes has over a decade of experience in some of the world's top kitchens. After deciding that a career in management consulting was not for him, Hynes worked in the kitchens of Astrance with Pascal Barbot and Spring with Daniel Rose.

In 2018, Hynes moved to Miami to open Jaguar Sun, an intimate 30-seat tropical cocktail bar and restaurant in the lobby of a downtown apartment building. Working with a limited kitchen, Jaguar Sun serves a tight menu of craft cocktails and creative pastas, which has garnered local and national attention for its ambitious bar food and drinks.

One of the most popular bites at Jaguar Sun are the Parker house rolls, an ideal starter for every meal at this neighborhood hot spot. We won’t waste any time describing them – they speak for themselves.

Before you get started, make sure you read the entire recipe to avoid any surprises. Also, keep in mind that you’ll be making a lot of rolls, so save this recipe for larger parties or for meal prep. Enjoy!
