Compared to the raucous of Friday and Saturday nights on A1A, Tuesdays are pretty tame. But not tonight, someone’s plotted murder. Well not someone with criminal intentions per se, rather co-owner and general manager of The Dive Bar, Cody Cole. The blood might be iodine, and the clues planted, but…
We have the most amazing winters, ever. We have beautiful beaches. We have around 250 days of sun per year. Overall, living in South Florida has a ton of perks, but one of the most exciting aspects of living in the subtropics is mango season. Unless, of course, you’re allergic…
Pesticides. Fungicides. Neonicotinoids. Organic. Hormone-free. Anti-biotic free. Non-GMO. Fair trade. Pasture raised. Grass fed vs. grass finished. How far did it travel? How well was it treated? How much was its DNA tinkered with? Were fossil fuels involved? The concept of food was simple once, but these days the very…
When we received a link to the Indiegogo page asking to donate to the rebuild of the Friar Tuck’s Food Truck, at first we thought this was an old story. After all, the first incarnation of Friar Tuck was destroyed on June 13, 2012 on the Florida Turnpike. Owners Robb…

Competitive eating is always a messy sport in one way or another. Whether it’s mustard and crumbs from hot dogs, gooey pie, greasy hamburgers, or vomit after the fact; stuffing ones face with pounds upon pounds of food is certainly not going to be pretty. As part of the PGA…
It’s official. Shooters, the waterfront restaurant best known for happy hours, a large dock, and swimsuit contests around the pool, has closed for renovation. The restaurant was purchased along with Bootlegger in a package deal by Grateful Palate’s owner, William McIntyre, for $7 million back in July. McIntyre then wasted…
When most people reflect on their school cafeteria days, they remember hairnets, alphabet soup, and clique dynamics. Even though Florida’s schools have recently been heralded for their lunchtime facelift, offering healthier meals than ever before, school cafeterias have never been anyone’s ideal of tasty nourishment. For the first day of…
It might be Monday, but it’s also the first day back to school, so enjoy a schadenfreude as the kiddies drag themselves out of bed for the first time in months. The weekend may be over, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop — it’s not like you…
This is a story about matchmaking; matching a donor with a recipient, matching a cause with a champion, and matching two people who each turned out to be just what the other needed most. Talia Bennardo and Terri Price are a match made in heaven, though they’ve never met. Terri…
In South Florida, vodka tends to be the spirit of choice. With the lifestyle and weather down here, it totally makes sense: it’s light and refreshing, low in calories, mixes well with anything, and it doesn’t have much depth. Not to mention, martinis are just fun — and oh, so…
Yelp would be nowhere without its reviewers. And to reward the reviewers who so diligently generate their site’s content day in and day out, Yelp is running a weeklong affair where Yelpers simply check-in to any of the 29 participating local businesses and are rewarded with a free prize for…
It’s officially: summer is almost over — unfortunately, the start of the school year for some has absolutely no effect on the humid weather. Whether you have kids, teach, or just deal with the little ones running around the neighborhood, this is the beginning of the end; the school year…
Friday’s here, so it’s time for beer. Every Friday, so long as the creek don’t rise, this beer enthusiast will take a look at a Florida beer that, hopefully, should be readily available in a local shop or on tap at your favorite bar. This week, we’re taking a look…
The crew at Funky Buddha may be innovators in the local south Florida beer scene, but it seemed as though the guys were so busy brewing up their Hop Gun IPA, they forgot they were in the 21st century. Translation? Funky Buddha hasn’t had an interactive website — until now…
Two of Palm Beach County’s best chefs are busy working on the finishing touches of their new restaurant. Called Aah Loi (Thai for “delicious”), the restaurant is a collaboration between Charlie Soo, the man behind Talay Thai and Roy Villacrusis, the king of pop-up cuisine. See also: – Talay Thai’s…
Many bar and restaurant industry veterans in South Florida hail from far off cold Northern climes in search of warmer, easier living and the chance to make a comfortable — and rather fun — living. Although, we do have a few homegrown heros in Broward and Palm Beach. Bogart’s Bar…
Wilton Manors has a problem, and it has nothing to do with the density of same-sex couples living in the Fort Lauderdale suburb. “I think within a half a mile there are five Thai and sushi restaurants,” said Nancy Goldwin, a co-owner of 13|Even, the craft beer and small plates…
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to prepare a bird. Roasted, poached, steamed, grilled, curried: the combinations of flavors and methods could fill an encyclopedia. And we bet you’ve had your fill. Chicken in a pig’s bladder, however, has probably not been on the menu. While it might…
Nestled in the corner of a nondescript and 1960’s era cluster of retail stores on the southwest corner of Atlantic Boulevard and A1A, Brother Tuckers is a small establishment that might be seeing the end of days due to the inevitable spread of modern development. According to sources, the eight…
The last farm bill was an epic disaster. Huge spending cuts to food stamp programs, no cuts to agricultural subsidies, and an amendment which would have superseded states rights to enact their own agricultural laws were all on the ballot. Sponsored by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, the King Amendment could…
Each step of construction at 13|Even was a labor of love. It began with a raw, empty white room. Then, as photos show, the weathered chocolate-brown wood bar was framed. Later, test stripes of different colors were painted onto a wall so owners could decide which hue to choose (ultimately,…
