On a blinding-white electronic billboard hanging above the counter at a Jugofresh juice bar inside Whole Foods Market in Aventura, pictures of vibrantly colored smoothies are accompanied by strange names such as “Almond Strong” and “Raw Power.” A rainbow of juice bottles fills an open-faced refrigerator below. They have similarly…

I get asked one question more than any other: Where should I eat right now? With so many restaurants opening every month, it can be hard to keep track. But South Florida food lovers still need to know what’s new, what’s hot, and what’s the best — all the way from…

Christmas is right around the corner. How do we know this? Because our kids won’t stop talking about it. They literally won’t give it a rest. They want to know Santa’s every move, and they demand an update on how many days are left until Christmas on a daily basis. You know…
SoHo Subs in Coral Springs is making one of the best Italian subs in South Florida.

In his jeans, blue polo shirt, and sneakers, 26-year-old Alexandre Brau could pass as a typical American millennial until he opens his mouth and speaks — or produces one of the many stellar French goods from his family’s bakery.
A single mistake can change the course of your life. For John Rivers, whose growing barbecue business 4 Rivers Smokehouse began “very unintentionally,” that couldn’t be truer. Rivers launched a charitable fundraising cookout to help a local couple pay the looming medical bills in their daughter’s battle with cancer. He…
There’s something special cooking at Josie’s Ristorante in Boynton Beach. Or, should we say, there’s someone special cooking at this 22-year-old restaurant. At first glance, Josie’s may not seem like the type of place you’d find Mark Militello, a James Beard Award-winning chef often credited for bringing contemporary American cuisine…
This might be the only time you’ll hear me say this: Gas station food is tops. My new favorite tacos are being served not at a fancy new restaurant but instead at a place where they pump petroleum in Parkland. It’s called Los Bocados, which translates to “snacks,” “a bite,” or “mouth” in Spanish. This past October, Boca Raton City Fish Market executive chef Anthony Hoff teamed up with longtime friend and local…

It’s back: The bright-pink hibiscus wine from Sons & Daughters Organic Farm and Winery is officially on tap at the farm’s Lake Worth tasting room. Sure, it’s way too easy to put back a few glasses of this bubbly fruit wine without a second thought, but the story of…
Jonathan Grotsky pauses when he speaks, filling sentences with long, pensive “ummms” and “you knows.” Sometimes he straight out says, “I’m trying to find the perfect word for this,” staying put in that moment until the perfect word appears. He is a man who calculates each step meticulously, right down…
I’m rooting for this guy. Not only because he is in a forgotten strip mall in Coral Springs, hugged by a generic restaurant chain and a discount movie theatre. Or because the neon sign above his restaurant says “Pizzeria” larger than anything else, giving away little of the gem that…
