No. 2: Coca-Cola BBQ Beef Ribs From Lola's on Harrison
Boutique restaurant Lola's on Harrison is the kind of pleasant, affordable place that makes good food seem like a right of every South Floridian. There, chef Michael Wagner
takes comforting dishes and transforms them into something more -- the
purple potato skins with American caviar; the salmon tartare with
jalapeno chili oil. But then there's his superb, dramatically presented
passel of Coca-Cola barbecued
beef short ribs ($22), a mountain of silky, fall-off-the-bone meat
brilliantly balanced between hot, sweet, and sour, topped with
super-sized buttermilk onion rings so light and airy that they seem to
float. Paired with creamed corn flecked with tarragon, this is a summer
barbecue gone wild with flavor. You remember every rib you've ever
eaten, the smell of slow-cooking in August, and cold bottles of soda,
and at the same time, you've made a new memory that overlaps and
interweaves with the old, deepening your appreciation for good living.
