We had a marvelous experience at Tryst, the new Gastropub on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, last Friday. The place comes out of the combined inspiration of Delray restaurateurs Rodney Mayo, Scott Frielich, Dave Robinson, and Butch Johnson. They’ve come up with an extensive list of craft beers from the…
Unrepentant beer drinkers, rejoice! Each week, Clean Plate Charlie will select one craft or import beer and give you the lowdown on it: How does it taste? What should you drink it with? Where can you find it? But mostly, it’s all about the love of the brew. If you…
The upside of recession: Steak houses around the country are rolling out special deals to lure new customers and reward the old. The “Power Hour” at Morton’s, one of our poshest, almost defies logic. How they scrape out a profit serving “bar bites” for $5 each and a limited menu…
What’s the best thing about Mexican Takitos, located at 1926 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood? It’s cheap, fast, and open until 5 a.m., making it a perfect after bar meal…
When the Four Rivers restaurant closed late last year, we fusion freaks found ourselves locked out of the space owners Paula Palakawong and Ravin Nakjaroen had composed with such good taste, its raised water pools, Buddhist bas-relief sculptures, mood lighting, and handcrafted tableware.

Now, we know this statement is tantamount to wearing a Che Guevara T- shirt in a Cuban-exile neighborhood, but it needs to be said: The cafe con leche at the 20-year-old, family-run Tulipan Bakery rivals any cup you’d get in Little Havana. But as a warning to those who think…
In honor of Earth Day, I’m here reproducing the Environmental Working Group’s list of the fruits and veg that contain the most pesticides. Folks, I know it’s fiendishly expensive, but you really should be trying to buy organic when it comes to the worst offenders (peaches, apples, bell peppers, celery,…
My colleague Owen Morris, over at our sister paper The Pitch in Kansas City, has been blogging about tuna lately, particularly that sorry monster the bluefin. Morris reports, via last week’s release from the World Wildlife Foundation, that Atlantic bluefin tuna may be entirely wiped out by 2012 (that’s three…

Clematis Social is getting even more sociable with the rollout of its penny-pinching “Lunch for Locals,” a $9 meal that features choice of entree, side, and soft drink. And just to hear that penny squeal, they throw in gratuity (or as Charlie would say, tip) for good measure. Some of…
The gods smiled on Havana Hideout last night, celebrating its shout-out on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.A nasty little rainstorm that pissed down buckets ended just a half-hour or so before the party was slated to begin. And the usual screw-ups with Comcast that pixilated TV pictures at…
Once again, S. Pellegrino has ranked the 100 Best Restaurants in the World, and nine of the top 50, including Momofuko Ssam Bar, which made the list for the first time this year, are in the United States. But we South Floridians are going to have to travel (and pay!)…
“Nice. It smells like a butifarra,” said our resident Peruvian, Miche. “Looks like the real thing too.” I had brought him back said butifarra from Bravo — a Peruvian sandwich shop in the north side of Wilton Manors — partially because he couldn’t get away from his desk for lunch…
