I’m Eating What?! Grass Jelly

There’s no sugar-coating this one. I knew from the moment I saw it on my desk it was going to be bad. I feared eating this so much, in fact, that I “accidentally” forgot to bring a can opener into the office for three straight weeks. The boss stopped putting…

Reverend Horton Heat Playing Culture Room September 14

Try showing up at a Reverend Horton Heat show and not having a good time. It’s physically impossible.

Collie Buddz Playing Respectable Street July 25

It’s easy to look at Collie Buddz (or even just hear his name) and dismiss him as a joke or at least a novelty. He’s a white guy singing reggae, and he’s using the last name of Buddz rather than his given Harper. People who dismiss him out of hand,…

BIOW

It’s easy to blame your shitty life on all sorts of things: having overbearing or unresponsive parents, slacking off in school, spending too much money on the ponies, or just having a tragic lack of luck in the gene lottery. The good people at Tsunami’s Tiki Bar are throwing a…

Eats for Under $7: Rice Balls and Spinach Rolls at Carini’s

You’ll have to do a little ordering at Carini’s to get a filling “meal” for under $7, but it’s worth the effort. Carini’s is a New York-style pizza joint on Federal Highway in Hallandale Beach worth visiting for the cheap appetizers alone. The mini rice balls (which are about the…
