Sure, when we’re sober, we turn up our noses at the thought of Taco Bell (eating it is neither good for our image as foodies nor good for fitting into our skinny jeans).But after a happy hour at Himmarshee Bar & Grille that turns into a late night at Elbo…
M Bar in Fort Lauderdale has a new menu — and a new lunch menu is what we’re featuring here. From burgers and flatbreads, to pulled pork and salads — this is more casual than the ambitious small-plates dinner menu first introduced and featured crispy pig ears, fresh creamed hearts of palm…
I Love Lucy is one of the most beloved television shows in history. Each week for six years from 1951 through 1957, life practically stopped as American families hunkered around their living room television sets to see what that crazy redhead and her wacky band of sidekicks, Ricky, Fred, and…
Last month, Bob Denison and Beck Hammontree, who own the Victoria Park location of Brew Urban Cafe, quietly purchased the shop on Himmarshee from Rick and Dede Hunter. Hammontree confirmed the sale to New Times today. “It’s a good store,” said Hammontree of the downtown location. “We’ll try not to…
Anthony Bourdain, snarky eater and demigod, visited Stephen Colbert to talk about his Travel Channel Show No Reservations, eating in America and the experience of chomping down on tiny endangered birds whole. Colbert actually had the upper hand on Bourdain (no mean feat to outsnark the king of snark) when…
Thought I’d share some of the most interesting food-related links I’ve read from around the internets over the past few days: Another Shake Shack is slated for South Florida — Coral Gables, to be specific. The New York Times Magazine illuminates restaurateur Danny Meyer’s plans to take over the world, one…
Although the upcoming Tax-Free Weekend on August 12 to 14 includes only books, school supplies, and shoes less than 75 dollars (Sorry, no Dwyane Wade Jordan’s), Chipotle wants to…
New York, New Jersey, and Philly were in the house on Saturday night at JoJo’s Tacos, where I put back a Corona while I waited for a seat at the bar. I felt like I was back in my hometown at the Jersey Shore as I chatted with Aneillo, a sales…
Raw food has been dubbed as a revolution, a movement, a diet, a trend. But chef Christopher Slawson is so dedicated to eating raw foods — or, as he calls them, “living foods” — that he has opened a raw foods eatery, Christopher’s Kitchen, in Palm Beach Gardens…
From the Top of the Point you can see all the way to Nantucket. The Napa Valley too. And Santa Fe and New Orleans. (Not Russia, though. Sorry, Sarah Palin.) Actually, though the vistas from the penthouse restaurant atop West Palm’s Phillips Point East Tower are both gorgeous and expansive,…
BurgerFi, restaurateur David Manero’s fast-casual burger and concrete concept, opened its second location in Delray Beach. The restaurant, located on Ocean Boulevard, has the same concept as the first BurgerFi restaurant, in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, but is larger, which makes it poised to serve beachgoers ready for a meal or custard after…
At the end of every month, we look back and take stock of restaurants that have opened and closed. (I know we’re a few days into August already; forgive us!) Though the crowds may have migrated north for the summer and the temperature has soared, things around here aren’t as languid…
The 2-month-old Mara in Lake Worth, in the old Jetsetter’s Lounge, now offers Sunday brunch. Already popular for happy hours and weekend entertainment, the brunch has proven popular as much for the moderately priced meal as for the games, according to Richard Addicott, one of the owners…
Gone like a puff of smoke is the first Smokehouse Grille & Wingery, which a year ago took over the old Boca Wings & Ribs spot on North Federal Highway in Boca Raton. The closure comes as partners Mark Uffer and Erik Frasco opened a much larger and grander Smokehouse…
With Tropical Storm Emily having been downgraded to just some soupy clouds floating in the Caribbean, tomorrow sounds like a promising day to check out one (or both) of the food truck roundups planned tomorrow in Broward. If you’re planning on doing a little shopping over at Sawgrass Mills, check…
Give me your shittiest beer,” I said to Nicole, the bartender at Laser Wolf who was lamenting a Wednesday night in the off-season, this one especially quiet sans vinyl. The bar is among my favorites of the six I’ve been to in the week I’ve lived here.Ordering the shit beer…
Here’s a little secret: once upon a time, Clean Plate Charlie went to bartending school and had a blast. Bartending school is not only for people looking to become professional mixologists – it’s for anyone who likes a good cocktail and wants to gain some mad skills at the bar…
Beer. Floridians love it. We may not be California or Colorado, where craft breweries reign on high. But we do have a growing craft scene, and a population willing to guzzle it all down. Here, our list of the top Florida brews available in Broward and Palm Beach counties (and where to get…
As Floridians, we’re fortunate enough to have picnic weather year-round plus acres of beautiful beach and public park space on which to spread a blanket or fire up a grill to enjoy al fresco dining with friends and family. Unfortunately, having the ideal setting doesn’t always mean you’ll be sharing…
Having moved here just a week ago from a landlocked, wonky metropolis, I’m still surprised by the novelty of ending up in a beachfront dive bar with a room full of people wearing flip-flops and some semblance of a shirt getting drunk in the middle of the day. Such was the…
• Say goodbye to West Palm’s Raw Kitchen, the cozy raw-vegan-organic eatery on the west end of Clematis Street that sisters Gigi and Iris Garcia and chef Brenda Kunkler opened only late last year. Despite the hype that raw-vegan fare will be the Next Big Thing, of the three such…
