Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
It's that time of year again when we count down to New Times' Best Of 2012 issue in June. Starting today, Clean Plate Charlie will serve up 100 of our favorite dishes. If you have any nominations of your own, please add them to the comments or visit our Facebook page.
When a bowl of Asian eggplant arrives, minuscule fingers from papery bonito flutter as if it were alive. Savory, salty, and sweet mark each delicious
bite of a dish that's braised in a soy and dashi broth. Dashi, or Japanese soup stock, is often made by soaking dried kelp , cured bonito flakes, and dried fish or shiitake mushrooms in water. The result is umami-rich and savory.
Vegetables are the starters at Sushi Bon, where regulars direct rookies from the laminated menu to specials on the whiteboard. Chef Ebi Hana's vegetable dishes such as this one are often as memorable as the fish.
Sushi Bon is one of the rare spots in South Florida that serves fresh-caught fish, straight from the boat. Read last week's review as to why the restaurant should be in a sushi aficionado's rotation.

Keep New Times Broward-Palm Beach Free... Since we started New Times Broward-Palm Beach, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of South Florida, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering South Florida with no paywalls.
