Ah. September. Let us count the ways we love thee. After months of feeling like we’re living in a sauna, the breeze is starting to cool down (ever so slightly), the kids are back in school, and we’re finally gearing up for season to come back around. As much as…
It’s coming back: Broward and Palm Beach Counties’ premier food-lovers event is returning in December. This year brings with it a whole new slew of celebrity chefs (think Anita Lo, Gabrielle Hamilton, Ken Oringer, Virginia Willis, Elizabeth Karmel, Aaron Brooks, Jamie DeRosa, and Eden Grinshpan) and events. From sustainable seafood…
Waffles. They’re delicious, sure, but they’re also so versatile. Although most of us just slap some butter and syrup on them and call it breakfast, that geometric battered delight can also be used as a sandwich base, an ice cream cone, or a dessert. Most of all, they’re just delicious…
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.

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…
‘Tis the season for pumpkin overload. Just like Christmas merchandise, the autumnal trend seems to arrive earlier and earlier each year. Sadly, vegans are left out of much of pumpkinpalooza — no #PSLs, pumpkin ice cream, or pumpkin donuts for us. Luckily, So Delicious Dairy Free has our back. The…

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…
It’s not always easy abandoning animal products. From ensuring you get all your vitamins and minerals to whipping up entrees that don’t involve lettuce, it’s a process. But for all the clueless, veg-curious eaters out there, the folks at Movements for Change are here to help. They’re hosting a Vegetarian…

This week we’re looking into the increasingly popular realm of collaboration beers, specifically those between well-known and talented home brewers and an established commercial brewery.

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…
The eyes of the world were on Brazil this summer for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

For all the turbulence one can come across in the media stemming from the shenanigans of NFL players, it is refreshing when an NFL-tinged story comes out that does not involve nightclub beatdowns, bullying, locker-room vitriol, and so-so seasons. Yes, we’re talking about the Miami Dolphins. But this is not…
Whether you’re thinking about it, getting in the mood for some good food, or just plain wanting it sliced fresh, Arby’s has been making a genuine push to remain relevant in the fast-food wars. Be honest; Arby’s is not your go-to fast food joint, and quite frankly, it does not…
