celebrity steak JOSH PASCUAL OF JOSH’S PREMIUM MEATS IS REDEFINING THE CULINARY STEAK EXPERIENCE WITH HIS PREMIUM WAGYU AND MEATS.
JOSH PASCUAL IS TURNING UP THE HEAT IN SOUTH FLORIDA AS THE GO-TO MAN FOR THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND MOST DELICIOUS MEATS. His story began in his very own home with his passion to redefine the at-home beef experience. He started sourcing and cutting premium meats for himself, family, and friends, and the business naturally and organically grew from there. Josh strived for the ability to have that elevated culinary experience you get at restaurants, but from the comfort of your own home. Here was born his obscenely successfully business model where his customers can now have the best beef in the world, at their leisure. Josh now runs the city’s top family-owned butcher shop in South Miami, where he sources his specialty cuts of wagyu beef from all over the world, specifically Japan and Australia. He sells cuts to the public and wholesale to Miami hot spots like, Papi Steak, Novikov, and Major Food Group. You can catch him working with regular backyard enthusiasts, or expert chefs like Daniel Bouza, and spotted with celebrity families and A-Listers, like Bad Bunny, The Food God, Tua Tagovailoa, Adriana Lima, David Beckham, Dave Grutman, Nikki Jam, or Mike Tyson to name a few. “I started sourcing and cutting for myself at home, and then from there it led to sourcing for my family and friends. The business just naturally and organically grew. It’s been an amazing journey.”

AS SOUTH FLORIDA’S PREMIERE MOSQUITO COMBATING SYSTEM, STEVE JENKINS OF SWAT MOSQUITO SYSTEMS FIGHTS OFF PESTS FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS.
LOCALLY OWNED
S WAT AWAY WITH THE NEVER-ENDING HUMIDITY IN SOUTH FLORIDA, IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT MOSQUITOES AND OTHER PESTS CONTINUE TO BE A BOTHER FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS. Steve Jenkins, founder of SWAT Mosquito Systems, serves as a pioneer in the industry, creating the most efficient and effective home mosquito misting systems. SWAT's story begins with a personal anecdote of his wife complaining of mosquitoes, and as any good husband, he tried to remedy this issue. His frustration with the current products on the shelves were not meeting his standards, as their long-term effects are minimal. One thing led to another, and Steve stumbled into a like-minded individual who connected him to another like-minded individual, and their mission to combat Florida’s most irritating pests with an automatic system was born, SWAT.
SWAT has since become a premiere pest control business catering to South Florida's luxury homes and businesses, all

notch service and premier custom instillations, with the highest quality products and equipment. Specializing in fly control, their custom systems use a network of high pressure mosquito misting devices, that mist throughout the day in intervals from sunrise to sunset, creating a barrier that lasts 24/7. Think of it as your luxury irrigation system, but for pest control. Minimal effort, maximal results. 11491 Interchange Circle South, Miramar, 866.900.7928, swatmosquitosystems.com
