Weekdays are the worst, unless you live in South Florida where we refuse to let a moment go by without cramming it full of entertainment. Just because it’s Christmas week doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to do around here. After all, this is where the rest of the country comes…
Now here’s something you don’t see every day — especially here in South Florida. A bubble tea bar. The Wellington Green mall is home to the Black Pearl Boba Tea bar, a sort of coffee house that specializes in Japanese milk tea, otherwise known as tapioca milk tea, pearl tea…
The world of gastronomy is as subject to the whim and whimsy of the “trend” as any industry, from fashion to music. Some foods are eternal, like pizza, and others come and go from our midst, for better or for worse. So, we got together all of the food writers…
Once in a while, even what seems like a great idea turns out badly. Take, for example, McDonald’s Mighty Wings. We can imagine the discussion over at the Mickey D’s R&D lab. “Everyone loves chicken wings. We have to introduce these on our menu. They’ll be the new McRib!” Well,…
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. The holiday fun continues through the weekend. From drunk Santas stumbling, err, caroling their way down Las Olas for free…
Like the sands of the hourglass, these are the beers in our glass… beers from Florida! Every Friday, we take a look at a beer brewed in the Sunshine State, giving analysis to the burgeoning craft beer movement of Florida. It looks like a lager, and acts like a lager…..
New Year’s Eve is one of those days you either love or hate with a passion. You may not want to deal with the traffic; you may hate the crowds; you might not have anyone to kiss; midnight could be well past your granny bedtime; or you may just think…
In Broward and Palm Beach County food scenes few names are as recognizable as Max — and no, we’re not referring to the notorious exploits of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell author, Dennis Max’s son Tucker. From Max’s Grille to Max’s Harvest to Burt & Max’s as well…
While there once was a day in which people would stick it out with a company for their entire career, that rarely happens anymore. For the most part we don’t actually care when someone leaves a job. Unless, of course, it’s one — or two — of our favorite chefs…
It’s hard to be an elf. All that time cooped up in the North Pole, slaving away in Santa’s sweat work shop, and then to have that jolly old man get all the credit! It’s a hard-knock life for an elf. Once the toy-making has come to an end on…
New Year’s Eve is one of those days you either love or hate with a passion. You may not want to deal with the traffic; you may hate the crowds; you might not have anyone to kiss; midnight could be well past your granny bedtime; or you may just think…
Everyone sing along…on the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me: 12 winter warmers, 11 spiced ales, 10 seasonal ciders, 9 artful malts, 8 full pints, 7 hops combos, 6 six-packs, 5 fruit and spice, 4 ginger beers, 3 honey and clove, 2 nutmegs, and a merry…
With a rodeo, a downtown “Western district,” an equestrian-themed McDonald’s, and a horse hitching post at the Walmart Supercenter, Davie is known as a country-Western sort of town. With mile upon mile of chain restaurants and sports bars, Davie is not really known as a place one would travel to…
Over the past few years, consumers have started to seek out ethically conscious options at grocery stores — just think about all the ruckus over Trader Joe’s locations coming to town. Though it really is simple enough to prepare healthy, organic, sustainable fare at home, that’s certainly not the case…
It’s officially one week until Christmas. If you’ve run out of friends or family you enjoy spending time with this holiday season, at least you have beer. And if you’re long overdue for a cold brew, maybe you’d be willing to work for it. Just don’t go around trading any…
Have you ever watched an episode of Iron Chef, Top Chef, Chopped, or one of the myriad of competitive cooking shows and thought to yourself damn I wish I could be there in person? If you missed the Palm Beach Food and Wine Fest’s Grand Tasting last night, you missed…
With the end of the year approaching you should be getting rid of the old and bringing in the new. Need to lose some weight? Time to change your diet and get a gym membership. Does your job suck? Time to get a new one. If you’re in the employment…
While some people are all right ordering the same dish over and over again, if you’re reading this food blog, there’s a chance you’re the type of person who wants to sample bits and pieces from all across the menu. As much as you’d like to order a little of…
New Year’s Eve parties will be ringing in 2014 soon, and if you’ve decided to host a shindig at your own digs, you’ve probably been mulling over what flavor Jell-O shot you’ll be serving. But if you’d rather have the real thing without all the mess, waiting, and mixing –…
Move over Red Bull, because south Florida now has its own unique energy drink compliments of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Hard Rock Energy is a real thing, and it’s coming to a convenience store (and, presumably, a casino) near you…
The holidays are supposed to be about spending time with good friends, family, and loved ones. In all actuality, the season is more about showing off our culinary skills by brining the best dish or drink to the party — hey, it’s sharing joy, right? Sure, everyone likes cookies, desserts,…
