When sitting down with a grilled veggie burrito earlier this week at the third and newest Zona Fresca restaurant (located in Pompano Beach), I was reminded of New Times’ writer Stefan Kamph’s recent declaration that burritos are “not for women.” While the burrito in front of me wasn’t an exact…

I’ve passed the Ristorante Sapori patio “garden” too many times to count, always admiring the variety of herbs, vegetables, and greens growing in a collection of pots of various sizes and materials. The Boca institution lies in a busy corridor that funnels foot traffic between the precarious Royal Palm Place…

Though the appeal of Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches has sort of diminished in the wake of SproutGate 2012, it hasn’t waned enough to pass up the chance for a lunch that costs only a buck. Between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. today, customers can snag a $1 sub at participating…
