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 you’re hoping to watch some burger brawls, get decked out in your best pimp attire, or longing to listen…
Chef Julien Gremaud is opening his first solo restaurant, Avocado Grill, in West Palm Beach this fall. The chef named the restaurant after one of Florida’s most prolific fruits because, “they are a healthy, South Florida staple that complement the menu’s coastal, farm-to-table cuisine. We are also featuring a unique,…
It’s official: There’s a new Miss Oktoberfest 2014, and the best part is her last name. The American German Club of the Palm Beaches has named Palm Beach County native (and appropriately monickered) Lindsay Bierman as the club’s second Miss Oktoberfest and good will ambassador.

Lunch: the glorious second meal of the day and a chow-down most Americans are forced to fit into an hourlong (in all reality more like 30-minute) break from work. Which means if you’re not brown-bagging it from home, there are a few necessities to keep in mind when eating out…
Only in America can a drink achieve pop-culture star status. And yes, of all the drinks in the world, the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte has gone there and owned it. With its own hip moniker (AKA the PSL), a Tumblr page all its own, and a Twitter account with close…
In South Florida, where the recent small plate obsession has tainted our palates (and pockets) with pricey, upmarket concept foods, we have no understanding of the Spanish art of celebrating food and drink. But at Candela Restaurant in Wilton Manors, you can get an idea of what it’s all about…
It looks like we’re in for a winning football season at Sun Life Stadium — for dining. The home of the Miami Dolphins has made a distinct change to its roster of food options for the 2014 season, with the promise of delivering high quality food and good prices. See…
There’s nothing wrong with a little ambition in the kitchen. Since launching back in March, Oceans 234’s culinary series for foodies, “Culinary Cult” has been able to adequately showcase executive Chef Victor Franco’s range in the popular seafood restaurant’s kitchen. Events of this nature usually take northern rides with dollar…
Everyone has an opinion on BBQ in the United States. Why even engage in the argument? One common thread regardless of taste bud affiliation is the fact that there is something familiar and comforting about BBQ that is satisfying to all those who consume it regularly. With numerous regional variations,…
While Florida’s top crop might be tourists slathered in sunscreen, agriculture ranks right up there, too. According to the state, Florida produces about 67% of oranges in the U.S. and accounts for about 40% of the world’s OJ supply. The industry has a $9 Billion impact and supports 76,000 jobs…
Last April, the Christ Fellowship Church opened inside the Boynton Beach mall, a new permanent location for the nationwide worship center now located in the shopping center’s old Dillard’s department store space. Today, members actually go to the mall for services, with access from the department store’s old exterior and…
South Florida chef Louie Bossi will tell you that everything he makes is from scratch. His first memory of cooking: dabbling in the family’s kitchen at the gas stove, heating corn kernels over an open flame. That do-it-yourself mentality is what has helped propel the Big Time Restaurant executive chef…
South Florida, the food truck loves you: warm weather all year long, a melting pot of culture and cuisine from Broward to Palm Beach, and hungry people eager to stand in line for whatever can be procured from a giant kitchen on wheels. Since the food-truck trend started several year…
In Spain, food has a different meaning. It’s both fuel and fun, consumed and enjoyed in a series of small, snack-like bites throughout the day. This all begins with a family meal, meat from a whole pig’s leg sliced onto bread for a portable breakfast. As the workday rolls to…
Sbarro has long been the “go-to” place for a quick slice and a Coke at shopping malls and airports, maintaining its business by being the “safer” alternative to a fast snack than, say, a hot dog or a pulled pork sandwich at the food court. Until now. See also: Five…
Three for three is the breakdown of times and years that the Greater Boca Raton’s Chamber of Commerce Boca Festival Days, the Alliance Association Bank and Boca Raton Regional Hospital have partnered up to promote the Lynn Cancer Institute’s League of Ribbons initiative.

Meat is delicious. Nobody said it wasn’t (well, almost nobody). But it’s also wreaking havoc on earth’s environment, screwing with human health, and leading to the violent deaths of billions of animals a year. Raising meat for food is problematic, at best. Lucky for everyone, there are innovative companies working…

Typically, a pop-up bar or restaurant is the sort of thing you hear about through a friend or someone always in-the-know when it comes to all things edible in the local area. Temporary eateries are intriguing places, whispers of some high-profile chef collaborating with a local venue to offer patrons…
It’s #FloridaBeerFriday. Every Friday, we take a look at a beer brewed in the Sunshine State, giving analysis to the burgeoning craft-beer movement of Florida.

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 you are looking to enjoy an evening in 1930s Southeast Asia, donate some money to a charitable cause while…
South Florida food trucks were the focus of a Good Morning America segment on the safety and cleanliness of the mobile eateries.
