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. Whether it’seating seafood at the fourth-annual Stone Crab Festival or celebrating the opening day of the South Florida Fair, there’s…
Sushi is not an item that tends to be easily veganized. Pull out the sea creatures and it’s rice, seaweed, and, if you’re lucky, a chunk of cucumber. Most eateries aren’t particularly creative with fish-free sushi concoctions. That’s why the Fancy-I-Naturals booth at Hollywood’s Yellow Green Farmers Market is such…
In the past few years, it seems America’s love affair with fast food has evolved. These days, we’re in the mood for more than just quick, easy fare. We want healthier food, better service, and some entertainment to go along with it. In response, new fast-food chains are creating concepts…
There’s no escaping the fact that when it comes to food trends, we’re a bit behind the curve here in South Florida. Maybe it’s our tropical mindset, but it just takes us a while to notice the latest food fad. But that doesn’t mean we don’t keep our food game…
Do you know what your favorite fast-food burger is, and do you think there’s one out there that can top it? Consumer Reports thinks it’s found the definitive answer to that question. Last summer, the American magazine published a list of the country’s best — and worst — fast-food restaurants…
A win has been made for wizards and muggles alike with the announcement that Harry Potter–branded chocolates, sold at Universal Studio’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter and at major retailers, will use cocoa that is fair-trade-, or Utz-, certified.

By now, we all know a glass of wine here and there can be good for you. In addition to red wine’s heart-healthy antioxidants and resveratrol, recent studies show those who drink two glasses of wine a day are slimmer and 40 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes…
Most people don’t know much about Al Capone except for what they see in movies and sensationalized headlines: that of a violent bootlegger whose name was among the most notorious during the days of Prohibition. But one of the last people on Earth with actual memory of Al Capone, his…
If you thought last year was busy with craft beer, 2015 is set to blow your socks off. With more breweries than we can count (we didn’t do well in math, hence the writing bit), South Florida will finally close the gap of breweries per capita. There are many, many,…
If you’ve ever dreamed of dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant, but haven’t had the the time (or, let’s face it, the spare funds) to travel overseas or cross country, you’re in luck. Why? Pretty soon, you won’t have to go any further than your own backyard. No, Florida still doesn’t…
Recently,our fine country has gotten into a frenzy. Not because of the Charlie Hebdo massacre or the fact that Ted Cruz, called a “longtime foe Of NASA and science” by Huffington Post, was named chair of the Subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness.

It’s January, and for Palm Beach County residents that can only mean one thing: the South Florida Fair is back. And — if you’re food lovers like us — it also means it’s time to chow down on all manner of fat-laden, deep-fried, sugary treats. This week the fair will…

It’s a decidedly old-school aura at Vinnie’s Lobster Bar, an Italian restaurant in Davie that’s dedicated to New England’s most-beloved cold-water crustacean, the lobster. The setting for this neighborhood haunt is a tiny space, no more than a dozen tables inside and out, located on the outskirts of a Target…

This time, it’s the Florida Independent Spirits Association filing a petition with the state challenging the tourism exemption of the state’s three-tier laws for alcohol distribution. The exemption allows retail tasting rooms in breweries, which are at risk in…
