Dine by Your Sign

Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Earthy and basic, Capricorns prefer fare that comes from the ground (mushrooms, root vegetables). They're also big fans of texture and enjoy foods that need to be worked on, like nuts and crunchy vegetables. Capricorn diners are disciplined, even restrictive, and want items served on time and at their proper temperatures. Quality Quirk: Capricorns appreciate meals that make memories and are frequently inspired to celebrate special occasions with fine fare. Fatal Flaw: Ruled by the planet Saturn, Capricorns are frequently dry and thirsty, which can make them irritable. Ultimate Eatery: Capricorns may shy away from Hot Chocolates (3101 N.Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale, 954-564-5552), which is both restaurant and nightclub. But items like the ragout of escargots and confit of duck baked with wild mushrooms and tomatoes should bring any Capricorn out of his or her shell.
