The fact that Bear Grylls exists in the real world is almost a downer. You want to believe that his badassery is so intense that he could never have a mortgage payment instead, wiling his years away, roaming with aboriginal tribes, drinking fermented snake venom, and sleeping buried in soil like a human hibachi. Pretend just that tonight when Undergrounds Coffeehaus (2743 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Fort Lauderdale) gathers its dedicated, caffeinated masses tonight for a Man Vs. Wild marathon. Cheer as Bear tries fishing with termites as bait. Do espresso shots when he filters elephant dung for drinking water. Place bets on what insect species make the best eatin this evening; episodes start at 7 p.m. Call 954-630-1900.
