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…
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 hang…
Are you the kind of person who likes variety? Did you ever buy a few packs of mints and mix them up into one bowl (you scoundrel)? If you’re that kind of “daring” person who can’t choose between spearmint or peppermint because you want them both, check at the Tic…
If you haven’t noticed the recent random hot and humid days, spring is in the air — soon enough it’ll be raining everyday. That’s right, while the rest of the country is defrosting, we’re about to head into full-on oven mode. Bad hair aside, it’s not going to be pretty…
Rebel House mixologist Kris Bahamondes is a true bar man. He can mix a drink better than we’ve seen in a long time, and has some innate way of teaching you a brilliant new bar trick while tasting something truly unique — all in just one happy hour sitting. It’s…
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, there’s – for us foodies anyway, for whom gustation is basically religion – there’s…
The 27th annual Best of Broward/Palm Beach issue comes out in June, giving us the opportunity to share with you our absolute favorite people, places, and things in South Florida. Each year, our Best Of Issue has a signature theme. This year, we’ve picked a salute to the arcade games…
If you’ve ever watched any sort of TV sitcom or sat through a bunch of commercials during a football game, you’ll see that grilling is a man’s domain. Well, at least that’s what the honchos at advertising agencies and scriptwriters would lead ladies to believe. That, friends, is a bunch…
A burger fried in a pan and slapped together in timed competition helped get Brian Cartenuto his win on the first season of the Food Network’s Cutthroat Kitchen. Even though he stole his competitors’ bread, hand-chopped beef into a course grind, and whipped up his signature onion rings, no one…
You’ve seen him before on the side of the BC Tacos food truck and seen him at the BC Cafe — but did you realize that that poor caveman never had a name? Scandalous, really, but finally BC Tacos’ owner, Brett Chiavari, is prepared to give his adorable, neanderthal mascot…
This summer (go ahead and use your best Don LaFontaine voice), the Florida Beer Co. is looking to introduce a pilsner beer to its lineup: Sunshine State Pils. This pilsner will join the family of lagered beers from FBC, including Florida Lager, and beers of the Key West and Hurricane…
For whatever reason, Easter and candy are synonymous. Whether the son of God was known for his intense sweet-tooth, it has some sort of pagan significance, or it’s just the commercialization of yet another holiday, we have no idea — nor do we care. We’re just glad to have yet…
Much of the world is quickly beginning to eschew fast food. Between the ridiculous calorie counts, lack of flavor, pink slime, animal cruelty issues, and whatever else, many of us are over it. But we’re still busy as hell. We want healthy food, quickly — not fast food, if you…
By now, you’ve probably tried Taco Bell’s new breakfast items (check out our sister blog Short Order’s take on the awesome waffle taco). For years, the Mexican fast-food chain has nipped on the heels of McDonald’s like a rabid Chihuahua in an attempt to gain some traction and market share…
Turkish cuisine is one that has no allegiance to any one culture. Rather, it’s a hodgepodge of several nations, each as colorful — and flavorful — as the last. There’s a taste of Greek influence, a touch of African spice, and a hint of Asian all rolled into one. Like…
A burger fried in a pan and slapped together in timed competition helped get Brian Cartenuto his win on the first season of the Food Network’s Cutthroat Kitchen. Even though he stole his competitors’ bread, hand-chopped beef into a course grind, and whipped up his signature onion rings, no one…
This week one of Fort Lauderdale’s favorite craft beer and casual food concepts is turning 1. Hot and Soul has made it through its first year in business. To celebrate, we chatted with chef/owners Mike Hampton and Christy Samoy about their favorite food and favorite place to eat (hint: it’s…
