It’s been decided: the second annual Chef vs. Chef will kick-off when Delray Beach’s Dada chef-owner Bruce Feingold and Jardin chef-owner Jordan Lerman from West Palm Beach throw it down on Wednesday, June 22 for week one of Chef vs. Chef at Max’s Harvest. Last year, the inaugural cooking competition…
When was the last time you did something for the first time? For many of the diners walking out of this newly-opened West Palm Beach restaurant, the answer to that question may have been, “tonight, at Jardin,” when they ordered the house-made aquavit. At this three-month-old establishment, chef-owners Jordan Lerman and Stephanie…
We said it before and we’ll say it again: What’s better than a good taco? Good tacos and hip-hop, that’s what. Last June, Subculture Coffee in West Palm Beach launched its first ever Tacos & Hip-Hop event, an idea born when event co-founder and South Florida DJ Selecta Steve — AKA…
South Florida is famous for its surf, sand, sun. And, so it seems, shopping too. Lucky for us, much of Florida is blessed with year-round sunny weather, making it the ideal spot for outdoor shopping malls. In the past 20 years, they’ve slowly replaced windowless indoor malls designed to shut…
Bx Beer Depot, Palm Beach County’s first and only home-brew shop, is back in business in downtown Lake Worth. The new store opened at 21 J street on Saturday, June 11. New owners and husband-and-wife team Ben and Kem Smith-Meyers said they were originally considering a space in Boynton Beach before…
With so many transplanted New Yorkers calling South Florida home, it’s easy to find a slice of NY style pie. But deep dish is a little harder to come by. And Detroit style deep dish? Forget it! You probably didn’t even know that was a thing, but you’re about to…
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and there seems to be some serious flattery going on at Blue Willy’s BBQ former Pompano Beach location. On May 9, Blue Willy’s owner Will Banks closed his restaurant after three years in Pompano Beach to reopen at a new location at 1190…
You love dad, the top guy in your life. And yes, you love the father (or step father) of your children. And you love your brother, who procreated to give you some adorable nieces and nephews. You love them so much, you’ve decided to give them a gift they’ll actually…
“I’m raising money to start spreading much needed cocktail culture through South Florida — and beyond,” says local bartender Kyle Mercado. “No more snobby bartenders and dress codes. Instead, it’s speakeasy and mixology inspired cocktails with a food truck vibe.” Specifically, the Broward-based bartender is talking about Booze Traveler, a…
French fries are one of America’s favorite side dishes — the perfect dish for splurging (or sharing) and the ultimate comfort food any time of the year. South Florida serves up quite a few fantastic versions too. Fry lovers can get a range of options, from sweet potato takes to…
It’s an easy equation to remember: Summer = ice cream. This summer, you can celebrate both at these local establishments, each offering everything from free ice cream to specialty releases. Some things just go perfectly together: peanut butter and jelly; burgers and fries; pretzels and beer; or ice cream and…
“Get the door, it’s the liquor store.” Broward County residents could be hearing that phrase a lot more thanks to a new app that allows for home delivery of beer, wine, and liquor. It’s all thanks to Drizly, a Boston-based technology company. Just as Uber offers on-demand transportation, the Drizly…
On any given day, the shops that peddle coffee and doughnuts — that All-American, blue-collar breakfast — have lines so long you’d swear they were giving their goods away. And, well, they are. For less than $2 apiece, a good doughnut is worth its weight in gold, especially when layered…
Once a hard find, today there are literally dozens (get it?) of doughnut shops across South Florida. And that’s a good thing when you’re looking to celebrate National Doughnut Day on Friday, June 3. But National Doughnut Day isn’t just another silly food holiday. It’s actually a 78-year-old holiday estabished…
It’s not fair to describe this bobotie meat pie as an empanada, because it’s so, so much more than that. If you want to wax poetic, it’s like a taste of Cape Town in a flaky pastry crust. And you can find them in Oakland Park. The pie is one…
Here’s one thing South Florida has aplenty: specialty markets that range from the super-large specialty to the small and exotic — even the silly. Sure, they’re the type of place you might not be able to cross off all the items on your grocery list, but what you’ll discover instead…
Question: What was America’s first craft brew? Answer: hard cider. Today, whether it’s shelving at grocery stores or taps at the local bar, hard cider is steadily taking over real estate that once belonged exclusively to beer. These days, it’s becoming increasingly redundant to talk about the U.S. craft beer…
“People have a mistaken view of goat milk,” says JoJo Milano, owner of Delilah’s Dairy Farm and Goodness Gracious Acres in West Palm Beach. “They think the taste is gamey, but my nubians produce a milk that’s actually very sweet. I like it better than cow milk.” There are plenty…
If you love pink flamingo sauce, Cajun fries, and burgers stuffed between deep-fried tostones “buns” there’s good news for you: Miami-born Pincho Factory is headed to Fort Lauderdale. Launched on a shoestring budget in Westchester, Florida, today Pincho Factory has become a homegrown fast-casual success story of cousins and founders…
It’s kitschy. It’s fun. It’s a one of a kind tiki celebration — and it’s all going down in Fort Lauderdale next month. Yep, it’s the Hukilau. The annual Polynesian pop-lovers party known nationwide will be returning to Broward County for yet another summertime extravaganza celebrating tiki culture, cocktails, art,…
Summer is officially here. And you know what that means: barbecues, cold beer, pool parties, and — of course — more restaurant openings. Only a few establishments closed the doors for good in the past few weeks, including Tony D’s in Fort Lauderdale and BGR The Burger Joint in Plantation…
Call it “rockin’ ramen.” It’s a fitting name for the upcoming ramen-focused menu Shout Karaoke will begin serving next month in downtown West Palm Beach. Starting June 1, the one-year-old karaoke bar and lounge will launch a new food menu. And not just any food, but a curated selection of…
