You’ve really not lived until you’ve tried the heavenly combination that is Southern-fried chicken and waffles. The dish, if it’s accurate to call it that, is probably best known because of the chain of Los Angeles eateries, Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles. In practice, it’s a mingling of flavors…
A couple months back, we reviewed Marumi Sushi, a small but very authentic Japanese restaurant hiding in the western wilds of Plantation. I loved it then: nowhere else in Broward can you get this kind of unfiltered, unapologetic view of the food that Japanese folks actually dig into, and nowhere…

2008. What a crazy year. You can’t deny that there were some good things that happened in the past 12 months — we’re looking at you, Barack Obama, SNL skits, and the Dark Knight. But let’s face it: 2008 might’ve been the worst year in recent memory. Like pachinko balls…
There’s nothing like a good meal to heal all wounds. And if creative, boutique restaurant Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink can revitalize your stomach the way it did Miami’s Design District, 2009 should be a healthy year. Chef Michael Schwartz is offering a New Year’s Eve menu priced at $125…
Nobody does the sky-is-falling bit quite like Gilbert Gottfried. After listening to the nasally comedian rant for a couple of hours, as he will at the Parker Playhouse tonight, it’s hard not to feel better about your life. He makes no apologies for being a whiney, obnoxious cuss or spouting…
For a more intimate, but equally juvenile time, FunKey Nutz Dueling Piano Bar will be holding a NYE bash. Watch as the pianists mangle your favorite songs by inserting double entendre with an artist’s touch. Or just drink a 40 oz. rum barrel and toss your bra on the rafters…
Many parties will rage until the clock reads 00:00, but one of the best shindigs to hole up at has got to be the totally free Downtown Countdown at Esplanade Park, beginning tonight at 8. The party proper will have family friendly activities like a bounce house, face painting, games,…

New Times was graciously invited to an evening of pampering and boozing last night courtesy of the Ritz-Cartlon Fort Lauderdale’s (semi) new and much improved wine bar. And it went…. well, how do you think it went? We were pampered. We were boozed. It was an all around lovely evening,…

We get some strange things in the mail from companies looking to pump their products: care packages from popcorn advocacy groups and breath mints designed to help you fake your way out of alcohol-related trouble come to mind immediately. But this candy has to take the unleavened cake. Orthodox Chews…

Fort Lauderdale — is not at all like Paddy’s Pub. First off, Undergrounds does not serve alcohol, especially to children. Instead, they whip up delicious and original coffee-based beverages, flavored tater tots, and head-clearing loose leaf teas. It is also not, to our knowledge, populated by vagrants and lowlifes whose…
As a celebrity food personality (can you believe there’s such a thing?), Ted Allen spent years turning Big Mac-scarfing schlubs into fois gras- and pinot-loving metros on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Then, on Food Network’s Iron Chef America, Allen demonstrated his discerning palate by critiquing food from elite…

Twelve…
Photocopying your ass and sending it in an “urgent message” to your boss. Stepping under the mistletoe with that girl from HR; drinking so much hunch punch you pass out in the recycling bin. Ah yes, office Christmas parties are full of good times. Good times that are likely to…
For 30 years now, the Misfits have spread their colloidal mix of punk, rockabilly, and horror-flick themes to ravenous “Fiends” around the globe. Formed in 1977 by Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only in Lodi, New Jersey, the Misfits were punk rock’s answer to the B movie. With a D.I.Y. ethos…
