Check Please, the South Florida restaurant review show hosted by Michelle Bernstein, is set to return to WPBT2 on Monday, May 20, at 7:30 p.m. The new season will feature a host of South Florida restaurants, most of them in Broward County.

Joining Bernstein in the premiere episode are Paul Castronovo, actress-drag queen Miss Finesse, and Don Bailey (of Don Bailey Carpets).

Though he's a morning drive radio host first and foremost, Paul Castronovo is a foodie and vineyard owner, so the episode should be quite interesting.
