Set in a suburban shopping center in Sunrise, Bash American Bistro looks just like any other café from the outside. But behind the beige exterior lies an eclectic, cheerful atmosphere.

Where do you go when you’re a legendary NFL quarterback in search of a good meal? If you said some sport bar you’d be dead wrong — especially if you were Joe Montana. The NFL great and three-time Super Bowl MVP stopped by Cafe Martorano with friends last evening for…
The cheesesteak is the kind of thing that when you get it, you need it to be good. The bread needs to be just right, the cheese has to be Whiz, and the beef — well, it’s the point. At City-Eatz, which opened last February in the Pompano Flea Market…
Sure, you can make all the jokes you want about “hot sausage” and “makin’ bacon,” but when it comes down to it, vegetables and fruits are pretty darned sexy too. First of all, cucumbers and bananas are pretty raunchy (you heard the ol’ banana-in-my-pocket reference), and there’s nothing sexier than…

The clean and modern décor of the Atlantic Surf Club is a stark contrast to the dark sports-bar-type aesthetics of the majority of Beach Place. With varying shades of soft blues, pops of orange, warm woods, stainless-steel accents, and sea-glass-inspired light fixtures, the ambiance incorporates contemporary dining concepts for an…
Head brewer Justin Miles is at it again over at the Mack House in Davie. After coming onboard with Holy Mackerel’s nano brewery last year, Miles has been busy crafting recipe after recipe of “off-centered” beers on a two-barrel system for the small tap room. Most beer drinkers will be…
Popping bubbly and eating oysters on the deck of a yacht is pure luxury — not that we’d actually know from experience. But, let’s be honest, few things scream opulence like bivalves and boat shows. Whether you’re shopping for a new motor yacht, looking to pick up a yacht owner,…
South Florida certainly has no dearth of sushi options. From high-end spots on Las Olas to tiny takeout, there seems to be a place serving up the Japanese cuisine on every block. Downtown Fort Lauderdale is, for some reason, the lone exception to that rule. The walkable district has plenty…
The first thing most of us do when we wake in the morning is seek out the nearest cup of coffee — don’t judge if that doesn’t sound like you. Sure, it’s an addiction (which we realize is a problem), but the routine and the sweet taste of the caffeinated-beverage…
Most restaurants in Boca Raton’s Mizner Park area are known as genteel establishments where a tony crowd can savor a good meal and a few martinis. But 101 Cantina, the Southern cousin of Gainesville’s famous tailgate party place, didn’t seem to get that memo. The restaurant, which replaced another rowdy…

CNN has announced that Anthony Bourdain will return with season three of Parts Unknown, starting April 13 at 9 p.m. The cable news network is bullish on Bourdain, with rumors abounding that the celebrity chef is even on the short list of personalities to replace Piers Morgan, along with Rosie…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. This evening is all about the green beer and corned beef and cabbage. But some of us have jobs to go to that require thinking and motor skills. That means that we’ll have to save the Irish whisky and Guinness for later and head over to…
There’s been a lot of buzz about bees over the past few years. With a major decline in honeybee populations across the country — and in other parts of the world — scientists have been scrambling to discover the cause. To deal with the concern, the University of Florida has…
