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…

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…

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,…

Brunch is most individual’s favorite meal of the week. It’s makes sense, actually; it includes mimosas and Bloody Marys; it’s slow and relaxing; and it includes plenty of bacon. What’s not to like? As loved as brunch is, for the most part, it’s only available on Sundays – major bummer…
Moonshine is like water. It’s a clear liquid no one wanted the government placing any of those fancy federal taxes on. With two hundred years of illicit production in the Appalachian mountains, it’s premised on the badassery of backwoods distilleries. But moonshine has slowly and legally been seeping its way…
It was an evening of wine and passed hors d’oeuvres at Buccan in Palm Beach as the intro to the intriguingly named ‘Last Supper’ event for the Palm Beach Food and Wine Festival. At F&W festivals, even the smallest of events, in this case an hour-long reception before a major…
When most people think of gourmand capitols, big cities like New York, San Francisco, or Chicago usually spring to mind. But those who really know where to find good food, stick to the smaller foodie towns. Charleston, South Carolina is one of the best small culinary cities in the country;…
