At’s-A-Pizza

This tiny but busy Las Olas eatery offers multiple options: Pastas, salads, sandwiches, desserts. But we love their pies. A bonus: your celiac friends can eat here, too, as At’s-A-Pizza provides a tasty and remarkably chewy alternative to wheat crusts — a rice flour crust. For the same price as a gluten-based pie, the wheat-averse […]

Bamboo Garden III

The Hollywood installation of this Miami-based Chinese restaurant might be the best. Make sure to ask for the small “Chinese” menu at Bamboo Garden III – it yields authentic goodies like kung pao frog’s legs and beef tripe with preserved mustard greens.

BC Cafe

BC Cafe, named for owner Brett Chivari, is the brick-and-mortar spinoff of the caveman-themed BC Taco truck. Both specialize in Neolithic named dishes with proportions to match. Tacos come wrapped in either a soft flour tortilla or a hard corn shell. Try the Encino Man with mahi mahi, cheddar cheese, avocado and buffalo sauce. For […]

BC Tacos

Neanderthal Man’s idea of a food truck was probably a wandering brontosaurus. Modern Man has BC Tacos. BC’s tacos are less authentic Mexican than its namesake’s eclectic take on everyone’s favorite thing to do with a tortilla. They are more or less standard steak, chicken, and seafood tacos, along with such quirkier variations as fried […]
