Some of the hottest dining spots in South Florida, including Fork and Balls, YOLO, S3, 3030 Ocean, and Chima Brazilian Steakhouse, will serve their best dishes. From 7…
These days, juice bars are popping up like froyo shops, one on every corner. Some sell made-to-order juice, while others perfect recipes and pack them up in glass bottles. Others sell all-organic juice for exorbitantly high prices, while a few choose not to use organic produce at all. At Purely…
Everyone loves free food, and everyone knows the best time to find free food is on a food holiday. In case you weren’t able to get a free slice on National Cheese Pizza Day last month, you have another opportunity to score some free food this week. In celebration of…
Food challenges are always fun. They give you bragging rights only a true, red-blooded American could be proud of, and at the very least make dining out a touch more entertaining. As far as local food challenges go, I was shocked to discover about 25 people have managed to scarf…
Around and around we go; today is the start to yet another lovely workweek. Hopefully, you have a bit of a spring in your step from some indulgent weekend activities. If not, don’t fret; there are still plenty of events to keep you busy through your working days. Whether you’re…
Congratulations, you made it through yet another working week. You might as well give yourself a pat on the back to celebrate — or better yet, a drink or three. Whether you are looking to enjoy some seafood at the inaugural Feast of the Sea festival in West Palm Beach,…
Ah, pumpkin spice is in the air — but sadly, not your bedroom. Maybe you saw the fake photo of Durex’s “newly-released” pumpkin spice condom, and got excited — only to have your autumnal wet dreams ruined when the company made light of the doctored photo, revealing it as a…
For many, the sandwich is the go-to meal. It’s simple, easy food, a meal you can hold in your hand. It’s perfect for everyone, from kids at recess eating soggy peanut butter and jellies to college kids subsisting on meat-packed subs to late-night shift workers and fridge-foraging bachelors crafting homemade…
If seafood is your thing, you’ll want to check out the inaugural seafood extravaganza and festival headed for downtown West Palm Beach. This Saturday, the first Feast of the Sea event will take place on the waterfront in the city’s downtown area. The festival will showcase Palm Beach County’s best…

In Japan, dining out is all about choice; restaurants are known to specialize in just one thing. They make food with a singular — almost narrow-minded focus — preparing just one specialty dish to the best of their abilities. That’s the idea behind GoBistro in downtown Hollywood, an Asian-inspired eatery…
When Chrissy Benoit first heard news that a historic home in Boynton Beach was being given away to whoever pitched the best business concept for it, the prospect of opening a new eatery was an opportunity the former Havana Hideout owner couldn’t refuse. Not only did Benoit win the contest,…
One of downtown Delray Beach’s favorite weekend haunts, Union, closed recently, but it’s not all bad news. A new concept has already set up shop in Union’s place and will offer something Atlantic Avenue actually hasn’t seen yet: barbecue. Scott Kennedy and Steve Chin wasted no time transforming their popular…
To everyone who loves seafood — and competing at random games while eating seafood — listen up: the inaugural Feast of the Sea festival will give you a good dose of both this weekend. It all goes down this Saturday, September 13, at the Meyer Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach…
We’ve all had ramen. For most Americans, it comes from styrofoam cups in flavors like “oriental” and “seafood.” We eat it when we are short on time, hungover, broke, or living in a dorm. The Japanese would shake their heads at this; for them, ramen is something of a national…
With a neon orange hue and pungent, herbal aroma, Thai iced tea is a perfect way to beat the end-of-summer heat in South Florida. It’s also something you don’t often see on the menu at your local Thai restaurant. In Southeast Asia, however, it’s the drink of choice. In Broward…

Congratulations, you made it through yet another working week. You might as well give yourself a pat on the back to celebrate — or better yet, a drink or three. Whether you’re hoping to get some game day action this Sunday, take a food tour in town, or eat with…
Every second, Americans are chowing down on about 350 slices of pizza. Even if you don’t feel compelled to participate by adding in with your personal quota, today presents a great opportunity to put down a few pieces of pie. Why? Because it’s National Cheese Pizza Day, that’s why. While…
Trader Joe’s, the California-based specialty grocery chain with a fanatical following, will open the doors to its second Palm Beach County store on Friday, September 5, in Delray Beach. If you can’t make it to the grand opening party, store captain Jeff Schall provided a special sneak peak at the…
Let’s face it: West Palm Beach has never been known for its dining scene. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some truly stellar dining options — you just have to know where to look. These days, we have our eye on a few places — both new and old. Whether…
Most Texans will tell you the secret to blue-ribbon brisket is hours and hours of slow, smoky, moist heat. It’s what helps transform the meat’s connective tissue (all that collagen) to a gelatinous, tender state. Most barbecue places take a hunk of flat cut beef to undergo the process; rarely…
