Brunch is the best meal of the week: it’s low pressure; you can generally show up in a pair of shorts and flip-flops; and the food is delicious. Besides who doesn’t like a little hair of the dog to wash away the pain from a raging Saturday night? To cure…
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 looking to search out some food-related art, check out some Halloween festivities, or drink some sake while throwing…
We work hard and at the end of a long day — or a long week — we deserve to sit back and decompress with a glass of wine or a cold beer. Happy hours were invented for this very reason, but there’s more to it than just ordering up…
We all know mixology is experiencing a resurgence. From the comeback of classic cocktails like the bourbon-centric old fashioned and the Manhattan or the gin-based Negroni to the new interpretations from modern day mixologists, mixed drinks are in, and it looks like they are going to stay. Mixologist Luke Tullos…

October may be just about over, but fall, or fall flavors, really, is still sticking around for a while. Fortunately, that means you still have time to get your fill of pumpkin beers. Publix Aprons Cooking School in Plantation is hosting a fall pairing event on Thursday, October 31, at…
Good art tends to be political in nature. Whether it’s a sculpture capturing the turmoil of war, a photograph depicting poverty somewhere in the world, graffiti commenting on the ails of mass society, or music overtly challenging the powers that be, it should be saying something important. Or we hope…
If ever there was a genre of music that was inherently tied to the rise in cocktail culture, it would be jazz. From London jazz joints serving gin by the jug to American speakeasies creating interesting concoctions of whatever they could get their hands on during Prohibition, the drinks and…
Hunger has become a hot topic in the charitable world. From chefs (such as hometown hero Clay Conley) to musicians to actors to athletes, everyone seems to be talking about those who are much less fortunate than the rest of us. If you haven’t gotten the memo: One out of…
Nowadays, most of us go to restaurants for the chefs. Sure, the atmosphere may be nice, the service impeccable, the drinks could be made just right; however, we’re living in the era of the celebrity chef. We want to eat from a big name, the same way we want to…
We’ve all had those undeniable cravings for a dish from our favorite restaurant on the day it’s closed or during its off hours. Let’s be honest: It really sucks. Unfortunately, many great dinner places close their doors during the day, when the rest of the world is running around and…
The economy seems to be getting better — minus, of course, whatever unseen consequences the whole government shutdown may end up presenting in the future — however, unemployment is still a problem for many. In August, the national unemployment rate for veterans made its way to 6.2 percent, down from…
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…
All right; it’s that time of year. It’s the time in which we consume more pumpkin everything than we can possibly imagine. Whether it’s in pie, bread, muffin, M&M, beer, or even Oreo form, we have plenty of options for getting our fall gourd on. Speaking of which, bartender Kelsey…
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 looking to search out some food-related art, howl at the moon, or go German for South Florida’s ultimate…
Tending bar tends to be an extrovert’s game. You have to deal with other staff members and chat to dozens, if not hundreds, of customers on a daily basis — it’s almost like being onstage. For the most part, you’re not going to find many shy people behind the bar,…
With Halloween less than two weeks away, the time for consuming copious amounts of pumpkin — or similar squash — is here. Sure, you’ve been drinking the pumpkin beers since the summer, you’ve probably had a few pumpkin and cream cheese muffins, and we know you’ve had your share of…
Palm Beach island probably doesn’t have an issue with hunger — it’s one of the wealthiest zip codes in South Florida — but the county’s best chef, Clay Conley, is doing his part to help out with a fundraising event for No Kid Hungry on Sunday, October 27, at 6…
When it comes to the Caribbean, most people think of reggae, Rastafari, and getting high — and hey, all three are all right in our book; however, you should probably expand your mind, mon. There’s a lot more to the islands than meets the stereotype. Starting on Thursday, the second-annual…
Broward County is known for many things: beautiful beaches, spring break, giant yachts, the largest per-capita gay community in the country, an inability to vote properly, the most hated woman on the internet in Taylor Chapman (well, a couple of months ago, at least), the nice Prancercise lady, ass-kicking (and…
Scotch is known to be a gentleman’s drink — it has to be if good old Ron Burgundy has a sweet spot for it — and gentlemen don’t drink cheap booze from plastic bottles, unless, of course, it’s really late and nobody is looking. When it comes to Scotch, there…
The saying goes, “Two heads are better than one.” While we’d have to say that idea holds true across the board, it’s especially appropriate when it comes to creative endeavors, including the kitchen. So what happens when you take two well-known chefs and pair them together? Here’s your chance to…
