“I’m raising money to start spreading much needed cocktail culture through South Florida — and beyond,” says local bartender Kyle Mercado. “No more snobby bartenders and dress codes.

“Get the door, it’s the liquor store.” Broward County residents could be hearing that phrase a lot more thanks to a new app that allows for home delivery of beer, wine, and liquor. It’s all thanks to Drizly, a Boston-based technology company. Just as Uber offers on-demand transportation, the Drizly…

On any given day, the shops that peddle coffee and doughnuts — that All-American, blue-collar breakfast — have lines so long you’d swear they were giving their goods away. And, well, they are. For less than $2 apiece, a good doughnut is worth its weight in gold, especially when layered…

It’s not fair to describe this bobotie meat pie as an empanada, because it’s so, so much more than that. If you want to wax poetic, it’s like a taste of Cape Town in a flaky pastry crust. And you can find them in Oakland Park. The pie is one…
