Most of us will probably spend the Fourth of July grilling hamburgers and hot dogs in our backyards and narrowly avoiding injury to the extremities via explosives (Holy crud, is it almost July already?). The Third of July, however, is a day solely reserved for fish fries. And there’ll be…
This week on the blog:We recap the Burger Battle in two posts — the best, and the worst.Our custom chocolate bar from Chocomize arrived this week, and it was everything we had hoped for.To go with all the burgers, we sip some milk shakes at WPB’s Relish.Dine Out for the…
What was New York Times writer and the author of How to Cook Everything Mark Bittman doing in South Florida this week?Well, among other things, he was eating at a Delray Beach restaurant and having a not-so-good experience in the process. He wrote about the restaurant — which he declines…
I love a good boba (or bubble) smoothie after a big bowl of pho or a banh mi. There’s something so fun about sucking up cold, sweet smoothie and finding those little tapioca pearls capriciously running up your straw. The best boba drinks, I’ve found, are all about the texture…
Unrepentant beer drinkers, rejoice! Each week, Clean Plate Charlie will select one craft or import beer and give you the lowdown on it: How does it taste? What should you drink it with? Where can you find it? But mostly, it’s all about the love of the brew. If you…
Between Palm Beach Restaurant Month, Flavor Palm Beach, and now Palm Beach Restaurant Summer, if you’re paying full price to eat on the Island, then I’ve got a Ponzi scheme I’d like to sign you up for. Seriously, there’s got to be like two months out of the year max…
Father’s Day is June 20, which is right around the corner. And while I’m sure dear old Dad would be satisfied with a day of golfing followed by a cold beer and a cigar, it’s our responsibility as children/wives/friends to drag him from the house (forcefully, if necessary) and honor…
This timeless Sunrise eatery has been serving dim sum to Asian and American families in West Broward for more than 20 years. In that time, it hasn’t deviated much from the classic, Hong Kong-inspired formula: When you sit down in the modest dining room, you’re given a menu printed with…
There I was, sitting at a table with six complete strangers, sipping wine and eating the rustic French dish coq au vin. The chicken thighs, tender from having been braised for hours in red wine, sat among halved mushrooms and slivers of salty bacon. Next to that was a creamy…
One of the things that best defines the disjointed urban sprawl of Broward and Palm Beach counties is food. Food comforts and satiates — it makes our daily commute down I-95 bearable, and it helps us look past our differences and come together. As a run-up to our Best Of…
What are tacos de trompo? Basically, it’s another name for tacos al pastor. The “trompo” refers to a spinning top, which is not unlike the gyro-like spindle al pastor is typically cooked on. The meat is shredded off the spindle and layered into tacos with onions and cilantro. Add a…
Ever read Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential? It’s a really great book, an exciting and sometimes disgusting glimpse into the seedy underworld of the professional chef. It was through Kitchen Confidential that everyone learned why fish on Mondays is a bad idea, why you should never trust a sous chef with…
We’ve heard of big game prices, but this is ridiculous: According to Worstpizza.com, Tucci’s Fire ‘N’ Coal Pizza in Boca Raton is offering free food during each of the World Cup games below. And not just a free slice or two either. Show up during these times and try a…
Here’s one for the WTF column: Tonight, you can get both pizza and legal advice at the same place. And the pizza costs more. That’s right, Humpy’s Pizza (Wilton Manors’ fourth favorite double-entendre establishment behind Bottoms & Tops, the Cubby Hole, and Dairy Queen) is serving free legal advice with…
With the oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico now measuring in the hundreds of thousands of gallons per day, it’s clear that the fishing industry there is in deep trouble. Luckily, there are organizations like the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund to help. The newly formed nonprofit has partnered…
Since we’re on the subject of burgers, it seems fitting to talk about milk shakes. A milk shake is a burger’s best friend — the creamy, sweet counterpoint to its savory fattiness. A good milk shake is to a burger what bacon is to eggs, Kobe is to the Lakers,…
You’ve already heard about Georgie’s Alibi and its tasty-but-simple beef burger and Ilios’ nauseating ground/shredded buffalo concoction. But we’ve got even more burgers and twice as much battle for you. Check out this photo slideshow from Friday’s Fort Lauderdale Burger Battle event at the Riverside Hotel Lawn. If these pics…

• With oil continuing to spill into the Gulf and moving towards Florida’s coastlines, our local waters are in dire straits. It’s appropriate, then, that June 8 is World Oceans Day, a world-wide recognition of the importance of the ocean and its protection. On Friday, June 11, the Restaurant at…
I figured I’d make this one harder since people are getting these so fast. But obviously this place has a lively bar scene and some interesting lighting. It’s been reviewed by the paper before as well. And that’s about all the hints you’re going to get! So tell us: Where…
