Deep frying a turkey can destroy your home, kill your neighbors, and ruin your life. It happened to a friend of mine. This was in Chicago, some years back. He turned on his heating element -- something red and dangerous looking, made by a company with a Japanese sounding name -- and filled a little metal barrel with oil. The oil sat over the top of the little flame, and soon it was gurgling around and looking mean. But it was alright until he stuck the bird in. Then, the oil seemed to explo
November 25, 2008Morton's Hatches an Egg
My steak is bigger than your steak.Super-corporate, super-expensive, super-good Morton's Steakhouse cuts the ribbon on a brand new (and totally unnecessary) Fort Lauderdale branch on December 14. That's at 500 E. Broward Blvd -- which, we suppose, will be a convenient spot for the few local carnivores who always secretly resented driving those extra 25 minutes to the Boca location. This opening begs a philosophical question at least as interesting as any steak: Do the rich people who regularly l
December 10, 2008Atheist Pulpit: About That Choir of Angels...
The Juice has invited New Times theater critic, Brandon K. Thorp, to provide a running critique of one of the region's most popular, most enduring stage shows: Sunday service at Calvary Chapel in Fort Lauderdale. With nearly 20,000 members it is the state's biggest church. In his first installment of the series Thorp considers the congregation's hymnal offerings.Contemporary Christian worship music is pure hell. Yes, it's competently played. Yes, white Christian praise bands do sound a little l
December 13, 2008Sauced at Tijuana
Apparently, the Tijuana Flats Burrito Co. has finally opened up a location in South Florida. It's about time. Tijuana Flats is a Floridian company, after all, straight out of Winter Haven, and they've got branches in four states already. We ordinarily wouldn't get so excited about a chain restaurant, but this is a little different. Rumor has it that your average Tijuana Flats stocks almost seven hundred hot sauces. Also, the restaurant is all eco-friendly, from its meats to its greens to its kit
December 16, 2008A Real Nice Clambake
Coming to a beach near you.This is a weird time of the year for transplanted New Englanders. On the one hand, Florida's balmy wintertime tropicality is the reason we came here. On the other, wintertime in Florida always feels like a bit of a gyp. We get a little home sick, and we know it's illogical but we can't help it. The dear old Yanks at Kelly's Landing can help us by coming to our homes and making us our very own proper, New England clambakes, for parties of 20 - 150 people, and they'll co
December 23, 2008Avenue Q: The New Eternal Verities
When I first saw Avenue Q, on Broadway in the summer of 2005, I thought it was a perfect show. I also thought it was too of its moment to last. Avenue is a topical piece, and I assumed that it, like most things topical, had a sell-by date. But here we are in 2009, and at 6 years old, Avenue Q hits twice as hard as it ever did. It is more relevant, funnier, and more necessary. It is about a bunch of 20- and early-30-somethings resisting assimilation into a market economy that ever seek
January 5, 2009And You'll Get Lobster in Delray
Linda Bean, granddaughter of Maine's L. L. Bean, is bringing us lobster. Though new to the foodie business, she's got her own warf, her own fishermen, and now her own concept: lobster rolls, each with a full ¼ of meat, fresh and perfect and dripping butter on your grateful lap, all over the country. The restaurants -- called "Linda Bean's Perfect Maine Lobster Roll" -- will consist of a takeout window and a kitchen, just like the clam shacks of New England. And Delray Beach will be the first so
January 5, 2009Football & Margaritas
Football and margaritas. There is less than one month left of football season; less than one month to transform your culturally bankrupt, Dorito- and Budweiser-filled Sundays on the couch into something genuinely awesome. And for that purpose, we suggest Moquila the classy nu-Mexican joint in Mizner Park, Boca Raton. An inventive menu (including "flaky duck confit turnovers" with " wild mushrooms, Cotija cheese and salsa verde -- $11) plus a list of over 200 Tequilas (ranging from $8 per shot to

October 29, 2009Order Up: Callaro's Prime Steak and Seafood
I expected not to like Callaro's Prime, a very old-fashioned steak house in Manalapan and subject of this week's Dish review. But my friend and New Times' theater critic Brandon K. Thorp convinced me the 8-year-old gin joint can cook the hell out of a steak. We dined there a couple of weeks ago before an opening at the Florida Stage next door, and I have to admit I was won over by the wet-aged, USDA prime, 24-ounce porterhouse I ordered. (The play we saw? Not so much.) The full review drops t
