• Slow Boats and Smoked Bacon

  You couldn't pay me the $500 prix fixe to get me to eat "dinner in the sky" at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek -- apart from my terror of heights, I haven't been strapped to a dining chair since I was 6 months old and I'm regressing fast enough as it is; I don't need any help. No, a slow boat brunch is more my speed, and I'll be cruising through the breakfast buffet on the Charter One Floridian this Sunday, December 14, gnoshing on Belgian waffles with shavings of dark chocolate and herbed P

• More Broward Places to Get Your Mexican Fix

  John LinnFresh grilled Mahi Mahi finds a home in tacos and burritos at The Whole Enchilada in Fort Lauderdale. According to Gail Shepherd's Dish column this week, Palm Beach County residents have at least one more joint where they can sate their cravings for authentic Mex (though Ameri-Mex fans should clearly look past Cottonwood). But Gail also mentioned a host of great Broward places to get either iteration of Mexican food in her column: Canyon is one place where you can enjoy a prickly pear

• The Taco That Ate Wellington

  Restaurants are scaling back plans for expansion. That new carpet for the foyer has been put on hold, and the chipped plates will just have to last another year. So it's nice to see one Florida company planning to open 12 new locations this year: According to today's Orlando Sentinel, Tijuana Flats of Maitland, a fast-casual Tex-Mex cafe, is rolling out 11 new stores in Florida and one in Raleigh, N.C. Palm Beach County recently got its first store, in Wellington, complete with a sauce bar that

• Herman's Hermits Playing Seminole Casino June 27

  Their website claims they're the original British Invasion band, just above a scrolling banner begging visitors to "Call your local Oldies station and request a Herman's Hermits song TODAY!!!" It's alternately sad and cute, especially after doing a little research and finding out they actually rivaled The Beatles for a few years in the mid '60s when they were both young bands. Forty years later, it's not hard to discern who's more popular, as I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of the populati
