Warning: This is not your daddy’s doughnut shop. Chunks of crisp caramelized applewood bacon crown a glazed round of dense yet fluffy dough. Hidden from the eye is a filling of handmade maple custard boiled down nightly from fresh vanilla beans and real maple syrup. Rainbow-colored M&M’s and smooth chocolate…

Ice cream is one of the world’s greatest pleasures. In fact, we love it so much we may or may not have had a tab at the local parlor as a kid. While most of us try not to eat the icy lactose-filled treat often due to dietary concerns, there…
A weekend in Orlando. Sunburn. An hour long wait for the new Seven Dwarves ride at Magic Kingdom, and one too many turkey legs. What you could use right now is a cold Funky Buddha. You’re in luck, because Funky Buddha beer is officially launching in Orlando on June 11…
Happy national iced tea day! Yes, friends, another silly holiday — with a great perk attached to it. According to the Tea Association of the USA , Americans drank over 79 billion servings of tea (that comes out to about 3.6 billion gallons of the golden liquid). And how do…
Oh. Dad. The poor guy has put up with some major headaches from your punk-ass over the course of your lifetime, like your drunken phone call at 2 a.m. to pick you up from random parties and your subsequent vomiting all over the place. Ahh, the memories. Treasure them. He…

It’s hot. Bloody hot. And if you don’t get your daily fix in the form of an ice-cold, caffeinated beverage, it’s likely you’ll be throwing more shade than a pop-up tent at the beach. As a vegan, however, there aren’t nearly as many options as there are for everyone else;…

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. Two months ago I had the pleasure to sample a pre-bottled version of the Sunshine State Pils by the Florida Beer Company during a…
The saying goes, “Every dog has his day.” And in this country, every food items has its national holiday too. Today, the food item favored by cops and Homer Simpson is getting the recognition it deserves. That’s right, it’s national doughnut day. Rather than keep going for a plain old…
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 score deals on drinks, looking to help homeless dogs while getting drunk, or longing to throw…
