Years ago, Riverfront was a bustling plaza filled with restaurants, bars, coffee shops, retails stores, and more. Then the economy took a dive from the high board. Briny Irish Pub aside, the deserted mall has been an empty shell of its former glory for years now. All along, we’ve been…

Over the past year or so we’ve seen an uptick in the amount of health-centered restaurants catering to dietary choices and restrictions in…
The French pretty much invented farm-to-table cuisine. Or, well, they perfected the culinary techniques needed to maximize the foods produced on a seasonal basis. Basically, it’s the same thing. Point being: It makes sense that a French-trained chef would be chosen to take the reigns at a restaurants that focuses…
Wine can be a fun hobby – provided one knows one’s limits. There are so many varietals to be explored. Even after you’ve found your favorite, a Malbec can be a very different wine from one vineyard to the next. A wine is a growing season captured in a bottle,…

Ah, Valentine’s Day; the international day of romance. It’s the one day a year in which everybody has love — or lust — on the brain. Whether you’re single, dating, committed, or just working on your newest conquest, chances are your love life — or lack thereof — is at…
Thousands of fans of food trucks, beer, and music gathered in downtown Fort Lauderdale’s Esplanade Park this past Saturday for the fifth Burgie Awards.

Allen West, one-term congressman, Tea Party darling, and crusader against anything he deems “un-American,” doesn’t like Coca-Cola’s Super Bowl ad. Not one bit. The… um… “distinguished gentleman” from South Florida blogged not once — but twice — about the Coke ad. According to West’s first blog post last evening, the…

So far this year, we’ve reported on the growing number of juice bars, the booming trend of cold-press juicing, and followed one food blogger through a three-day cleanse. To add to the healthy-wave, My Organic Juice in Boca Raton is the latest cold-press juice company to open in the area,…
Not much has changed in the world of cocktails over the past century. Yes, we went through Prohibition and its repeal. And yes, that certainly changed the way Americans drink, but over the past few years, we’ve circled back to drinking the classics. As happy as we are about the…
The Big Game is finished and chances are you’re still hungover. When you finally make it through the worst workday of the year so far, why not hit the streets for a bite to eat? Or perhaps a little hair of the dog? Even if you can’t manage to pull…
Are you ready for some football? What about the Chinese New Year? 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 Borward-Palm Beach area and cooked up this tasty menu…

South Florida is a relatively young part of the country. While other cities boast taverns where our founding fathers drank ale while writing the Constitution, our history is fairly new. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have some grand dames to admire. Take, for example, Gulfstream Park, which celebrates its…
