Mom was right. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Sure it gets your metabolism going and supposedly people who eat breakfast eat fewer calories over the course of the day. Blah, blah, lose weight, blah, blah, be healthier, live longer – whatever. Point being: breakfast is good…
Generally, when you see a group of adults attempting to alter their appearance to look exactly the same, cult is the word that springs to mind — no one will ever forget those matching sweatsuits and Nikes from the ’90’s. In just a couple of weeks, more than 30 individuals…

For years, we’ve been hearing about the benefits of farm-to-table cuisine: Buying locally results in lower carbon emissions, support of the local economy, and stronger, fresher flavors. Same goes for locally brewed beer. Not long ago, most South Floridians reached for a bottle of Bud before searching out a local…

Neapolitans have strict rules and regulations for using the designation Pizza Napoletana — there is an entire nonprofit sanctioned by the Italian government dedicated to making sure the term is applied appropriately. Chicagoans are fiercely devoted to their signature deep-dish pies. And New Yorkers, fuhgeddaboudit; those maniacs will go to…
How do Americans like their lunch? That’s the topic of a new survey conducted by Kentucky Fried Chicken. The KFC Famous Bowls Survey was conducted by Wakefield Research, polling 1,000 adults 18 and over in the United States using random-digit telephone dialing. The survey, which was released today, gives insight…

By Marisa Cutaia Some time in the not too distant future, some form of legal marijuana might be coming to Florida. Just the idea of it gives us the munchies. But we aren’t satisfied with a bag of Cheetos; our foodie palates are far too refined to settle for that…
South Florida is full of transplants. If we had to guess, we’d say one percent of the population was actually born here. (Also, did you know that 84% of statistics are made up on the spot? True story.) Quite frankly: we think it’s a good thing. For one thing, the…
Two weeks from now, on March 6th, Funky Buddha Brewery in Oakland Park is going to be releasing the next of their series of larger format bottled beers, the Nib Smuggler Chocolate Milk Porter. The 6.2% alcohol by volume lactose porter uses Brazillian cacao nibs and vanilla beans. If you’ve…

It just makes sense that the owners of Cut 432 decided to bring the taste of the taco to downtown Delray Beach with their new taquería-ish El Camino. El Camino owners Brandon Belluscio, Brian Albe, and Anthony Pizzo have brought Mexican soul-food and a top-notch tequila bar — which opened…
In the United States we have some time-honored drinking protocol, such as beer pong, 80 ounces to freedom, and flip cup. While all include copious amounts of alcohol (or beer), none are intended to bring you a bountiful life — a bountiful hangover is more like it. The Japanese, on…

From Top Chef contestants like Stephanie Izard and Fabio Viviani to celebrities like Anthony Bourdain and Giada De Laurentiis to restaurant legends, such as Danny Meyers and Rick Bayless, the creme…
New Times Beerfest is a truly epic local beer event. Beer brewers from all over the state and the country come to show local beer drinkers their stuff. And now, local homebrewers (and maybe some aspiring professionals) can offer their beers to the suds swilling public. This year, 17th Annual…
We’re not breaking any news here, but South Florida is freaking hot. Sure, we get a few cold fronts from time to time, but it’s mid-February, and it’s bright, sunny, and, frankly, a bit humid. When it comes to refreshing alcoholic beverages, few concoctions compete with the margarita — mojitos…
There’s a preconceived notion that in Japan everyone makes sushi on the regular. As much as we’d like this to be true (and we’d like to find ourselves some Japanese besties), it’s not actually the case. While in town for the Delray Beach Open by The Venetian® Las Vegas Japanese…
The James Beard Foundation has announced the 2014 semifinalists for its Restaurant and Chef award categories today, the state of Florida got several nods and specific recognition for its culinary achievements.
