Each week on Destination: Food, Short Order pays tribute to the restaurants – dives and chichi joints alike – that serve South Florida’s “go-to” meals. These are dishes that you think about when you’re toiling at work; that you still taste in your mouth hours after you’ve finished them; that…

A giant, gold gong that you could smack to shut people up would be useful. Say your boss is asking you to work the weekend – apparently there have been staff shortages and problems with the supply chai…GOOOOOOONNNGGGGG! Problem solved. Oh what’s that? Your friend from college who’s too busy…
