Doggie Bag: This Week in Charlie

Here’s what you missed this week on Charlie:

• Check it out: Brett Gillin delights in finding out what beverage bartenders hate to make, then masochistically tortures them by having them make it. Turns out, suffering tastes delightful.

• Local chef Ron Duprat barely escapes the boot on Top Chef Las Vegas. Next week: he serves ice cream to eskimos.

• A couple more restaurants close up shop, and South Florida edges one step closer towards a Mad Max-style, post-apocolyptic wasteland.

• MIchael Vick did some disgusting things to dogs; whatever you do, don’t look in the mirror.

• Can Can dancers and truffles on everything? Vive la France!

• The title sounds like a set up for an off color joke, but Riki Altman’s Love Bites is an entertaining read.

• Some of the best pizza in Broward is made with wood, not coal.

• Two subs enter. One sub prevails.
