Most of the world is obsessed with TV and the idea of celebrity. Think of how popular the Kardashians have become. Or the Real Housewives. Just making an appearance on the small screen is pretty much guaranteed to garner your 15 minutes of fame. So, it’s no surprise that restaurants…
Get ready to fire up those grills this weekend. Memorial Day is on the way. All right, in an area blessed with mild winters and sunshine 365 days a year (yes, even those rainy summer days see at least a bit of light), we don’t really have a grilling season…
While there has been a long-term so-called debate about the potential effects (and actual existence) of climate change, a report released by NASA last week shows that the ice is melting in Antarctica and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. (Fox News still seems to be denying science.)…
In South Florida, a few things indicate summer has officially come: torrential daily downpours (almost check), sweat within minutes of walking out the door (also check), and Memorial Day (check). Though it shouldn’t make a difference down here — our mild weather suits outdoor cooking year-round — when summer hits,…
Downtown Fort Lauderdale has seen its changes over the past decade. From Broward’s premier bar scene to victim of the failing economy to slowly resurrecting nightlife and dining destination, the area is finally starting to make a comeback. And even more changes are on the horizon. Subculture Group’s Dubliner Fort…
To be really into food, you have to be interested in different cultures — unless you stick to meat and potatoes. From classic French sauces to India curries to Italian pasta to sriracha on nearly everything, many of the foods and flavors we love most come from some flung destination…
Weekdays are the worst, unless you live in South Florida, where we refuse to let a moment go by without cramming it full of entertainment. Whether you’re looking to relax and recover from the weekend or would prefer to fill your weekday evening with distracting goings-on, there’s something for you…
We’ve been hearing a lot about dwindling bee populations for quite some time already. While the thought of a world without apis’ might soothe horrifying childhood memories of stings, it would be an utter catastrophe for many of the foods we eat; those buzzing little insects pollinate many of our…
Are you ready for some beer? How about some barbecue? Even if you don’t care about any of the myriad celebratory offerings this weekend, you’re going to have to eat something. We perused the highs and lows of the Broward-Palm Beach area and cooked up this tasty menu of awesome…
Downtown Fort Lauderdale’s dining scene has another fallen soldier. Late last month Jack Mancini’s newest project Mancini Modern Italian closed its doors for good. While that eatery is gone, another may be in the works. The well-known restaurateur may be looking into opening a different concept in a new location…
The world is a mixed bag of different people and experiences. We come from different countries, different cultures, different religions, different socioeconomic statuses. Heck, most of us seem to have a signature specialty diet these days. As diverse as we may be, there’s one thing we can all agree upon,…
Stemming from the Latin word delicatus, meaning “pleasing,” delicatessen means different things in different places. In Europe, delicatessen indicates high-quality foods with high price points — they’re frequently found in luxury department stores, like Harrods. Australia follows that interpretation. But, here in the U.S., when we say deli, we’re talking…
Whether you frequently visit a place or not, no one wants to see a place shutter it’s doors — unless you’re just a coldhearted jerk. Unfortunately, there’s now one less eatery on Fort Lauderdale’s 17th Street Causeway. We recently got a tip that Lauderdale Grill shuttered its doors. See Also:…
These days, it seems as though everybody is obsessed with Game of Thrones and craft beer — hey, no one’s complaining about it. And we’re all self-proclaimed foodies now that Instagram exists — OK, the food pics are annoying: No one cares that you ate a sandwich. Your chance to…
Some beverages are better-suited for consuming in a laid-back backyard setting — you’re not exactly going to pull out your nitrogen canister to mix up some molecular cocktails (not even the mightiest master mixologist wants to deal with that at home). Beer, on the other hand, perfectly fits the bill…
Adorned with strips of deep-gray slate accents, a large Machu Picchu panorama, and recessed alcoves with brilliant gold replicas of Inca artifacts, the décor at Ceviche by the Sea is cool and contemporary while honoring its cuisine’s heritage. It’s a theme that continues on throughout the entire concept. The menu…
The hospitality industry is tough. Servers and bartenders frequently have to deal with rude and obnoxious customers. For the most part, there’s nothing they can do about it — it’s just part of the job. Laser Wolf, on the other hand, has a strict “no jerks” policy. Recently, one couple…
Ah. Beer. It’s one of life’s greatest pleasures. That being said, not all brews are created equal: There is a whole lot of watered-down, mass-produced crap — it’s like the fast-food version of the beer world. It’s tasteless, and you’ll feel ashamed as soon as you’re done. Craft beer, on…

Just in case you haven’t noticed the recent spike in temperature, summer is here (maybe not according to the calendar, but it sure feels like it). It’s time to close those windows, pull out your board shorts and bathing suits, and crank up the A/C; we’re in it for the…
We love our beer here in South Florida. Sure, we may have been a bit late to the craft brew scene, but we’re now one of the fastest growing markets in the country — hey, we start slow, finish fast. While we drink all the time down here — Fort…
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’s still plenty of events to keep you busy through your working days. Whether you’re looking…
