In terms of native South Floridians, you could probably count them on one hand. Barely anyone is from here, the rest of us come from frigid northern climes on the eastern seaboard or middle of the country. While South Florida is mostly recognized as being the sixth borough of due…
For years, Steve Martorano did what he wanted to at Cafe Martorano. The restaurateur/cook served food his way without substitutions (which is clearly noted on the menu), didn’t take online reservations, closed the restaurant for a much-needed summer break, and spun tunes when the mood struck. The restaurant has reopened…
Evolution is a wonderful thing. Wolves that want to eat us turn into dogs that want to love us and we go from cavemen to humans who eat everything else. Simple isn’t it? We like our foods to evolve too. Take, for example the “cronut”, which is the natural evolutionary…
In 24 years, Bimini Boatyard has seen a pair of owners, a handful of chefs, unknown dozens of million-dollar yachts bouncing up in the harbor, and more cheesy engagement photos than you can shake a stick at. Through it all, the perfect views, cool iced teas, and sweet Bimini bread…

Clematis Street is stuffed with great happy hour deals and customers scouring to find the best. Among them is Kabuki, the street’s only sushi restaurant with an extra flair for great drinks. This recipe has proved to be so successful for owner Ting, he’s taking his chances at replicating the…
When the Boyds opened their quaint, French-inspired eatery Mustard Seed Bistro, they underestimated the potential of Lara’s baking because it was her husband, Tim, who was at the culinary helm whipping up bison tenderloins or tomato risottos with mushrooms. But within the first year, Lara began to experiment with recipes…
By now, you’ve probably heard about cronuts. Or kronuts. Or dossants. For those who don’t keep up with the latest news on dessert trends, the cronut is the puggle of food items. The Cronut™ was created in New York at the Dominique Ansel Bakery and was gifted unto the world…
Here we are, yet again: another month, another spending bill down the drain. Today the federal government has officially shut down — well, “nonessential” programs, at least — which will affect a wide range of services, from the National Institutes of Health to the National Park Service to the Department…
Pumpkin spice fever is like syphilis. It’s contracted easily, spreads quickly, and symptoms include a zombie-like stampede for the antidote: anything containing the rotund orange fruit (yes, pumpkin is a fruit) and that blend of cinnamon-y spices.

Are you a frustrated attorney who thinks he knows food better than the chef at his favorite restaurant? Or maybe you’re a blogger who turns her home into a test kitchen? In any event, if you’re a home cook who’s obsessed with food, it’s time to prove you’ve got MasterChef…
October is a month that celebrates many things: Halloween, apples, cranberries, cookies, chilli, vegetarian awareness, and plenty of other not-so important options.

We’re not really sure who’s to blame for the proliferation of all things pumpkin. Is it Starbucks and their uber popular seasonal specialty coffee, the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

We all need the occasional reboot. Whether it’s restarting your computer in the middle of the day or trying something new at the lunch place where you always get ‘the usual’, a little shake up is essential. Palm Sugar, who we named the number one restaurant on Clematis Street, is…
There have been a lot of coffee shop freakouts, lately. First, there was Amy and Samy from Amy’s Baking Company in Scottsdale, Arizona who gained national attention when they pissed off Gordon Ramsay and the rest of the world. Notable in that particular case is the fact that it’s actually…
Pasta king Guido Barilla might be in as much hot water as his pasta is after telling an Italian radio station that his company would never feature a gay couple an any Barilla advertising campaign. According to Reuters, the chairman of Barilla told Italy’s Radio 24, “I would never do…
