We’re all about specials around here — if you haven’t noticed, we dine out often. So, when a holiday comes around and local restaurants roll out the deals, we’re all about it. Easter Sunday is coming up at the start of next week and many eateries are offering different dishes…
Put on your Easter bonnet — make sure there’s plenty of frills upon it. It’s time for Easter parades and egg hunts and pictures with the Easter Bunny and, yes, even church. Then, after all that — for us foodies anyway, for whom gustation is basically religion — there’s the…
Is the popularity of Funky Buddha Brewery too much to handle for staff and local beer geeks? The short answer is no. But when events get snarled, it becomes a learning experience for everyone involved. This was especially true last night at a growler release of a coveted and limited-release…
We have a lot — perhaps an excess, really — of National _______ Days in this country. If it isn’t National Talk Like a Pirate Day, it’s National Appreciate Your Furniture Day or some other such thing. (OK, we kind of love the former. Arrgh!) Most people roll their eyes…
Sourheads, make note: May 10 has been announced as the date for third installment of the infamous sour beer festival known as the Berliner Bash, or Floridaweisse Bash, as it’s becoming known. In a change from previous iterations, the festival will be held at Green Bench Brewing in downtown St…
Spring has technically been here for weeks already, but it’s not official until Easter comes around. The time to pull out those pastels, ribbons, and bows is just around the corner, which means you’ll need somewhere to go when you’re dressed for the day. Whether you’re looking to get in…
Kosher Coca-Cola is back, folks, and there’s a small window of opportunity to grab a few bottles of this holiday special beverage. If you’re asking yourself, “What the hell is Kosher Coke?” you’re not alone. In fact, I just received an email asking if regular Coke has some hidden “pork…
No additions, no substitutions — that’s what the menu at Luigi’s Coal Oven Pizza says. It’s a philosophy based on the rules of the Verace Pizza Napoletana, an internationally recognized group of authentic Neopolitan-style pizza makers. It may also be why business has been good enough to expand north from…
While we’re big fans of noshing on multiple dishes from several food trucks — even if it results in a serious case of the meat sweats — many a food truck roundup is just about stuffing your face; there’s rarely a higher purpose. Tomorrow night, downtown West Palm Beach is…
Today, April 15, is tax day. Despite its nasty reputation, some of us out here will get the good news that there’s a return coming to us. If that’s the case for you, maybe you’re up for a little sing-along — especially if it leads to more fortune, in the…
If there was ever a day created specifically for brunch, some could argue Easter Sunday would be that day. After a long morning of Easter-egg hunting and Peeps, there’s nothing like a few mimosas and a sizable brunch buffet to revive you. When the family festivities have died down and…
One might be under the impression that the Easter Bunny and all his candy are for the kiddies. One would be wrong. From Peeps to jelly beans to whatever other cavity-inducing sweets you find in those eggs, entire generations of Americans have been conditioned since childhood to love that stuff…
Songkran, the Thai traditional new year — better-known as the Water Festival — is all about getting blasted with water and beer, and this year it landed on Sunday, April 13. You missed out on celebrating the festivities in Chiang Mai or Phuket with the hundreds of thousands who gathered…
Delivery tends to be bland and wasteful. Sure, there are some spots that will bring flavorful fare, but the good ones are few and far between. And the carbon footprint is a whole issue of its own. One Sun Emporium resolves all of the above. Owner James Newman makes bold…
Culinary and medical professionals will unite May 24 at the Louise Lorraine Voltaire Multicultural and Educational Health Fair at Glades Central High School. The fair itself is named after Louise Lorraine Voltaire, a registered nurse and vice president of the Haitian American Nursing Organization and Allied of Palm Beach, the…
While it is supposed to be about the resurrection of Jesus, these days Easter is about spending time with friends and family, for most of us anyway. It’s about long drawn out boozy brunches while watching the little ones run around searching for Easter eggs — hey, it keeps ’em…
Weekdays are the worst, unless you live in South Florida, where we refuse to let a moment go by without cramming it full of entertainment. Whether you’re looking to relax and recover from the weekend or would prefer to fill your weekday evening with distracting goings-on, there’s something for you…
Sure the Tortuga Music Festival at Fort Lauderdale Beach Park is one fine two-day party featuring Sheryl Crow, Ziggy Marley, and Dierks Bentley performing, but the festival also has a mission attached to it. See also: Make Your Own Free Custom Tic Tac Packs at Tortuga Music Festival…
When it comes to dining out, we can be kind of picky. Yes, we’re always willing to give things a go — even if it sounds crazy as hell. Chicken feet; why not? But it’s not often that we find a place we absolutely love. On those rare occasions it…
We interrupt this blog to share a bit of cuteness overload. Dunkin’ Donuts now has Peeps donuts! These cutie-patooties are actually flower-shaped donuts, decorated with pastel pink or green icing. Then they’re topped with an honest-to-gosh pink or yellow Peep! See also: Ten Best Easter Brunches in Broward…
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. From the depths of the street art covered warehouses of Miami’s latest gentrified arts district, Wynwood Brewing Company is the first brewery to set…
Sometime between Christmas and Easter lies the best holiday of all – National Grilled Cheese Day. Doesn’t it make sense to honor what was probably our first true love? In celebration of this day that pays tribute to melty, gooey cheese between two slices of toasty goodness, Dailt Melt is…
