  Champagne and chocolates constitute the dynamic duo of no-brainers for Valentine's Day. Peterbrooke Chocolatier at 227 Aragon Ave. in Coral Gables has come up with a novel way to team the two: A chocolate-dipped champagne bottle. Now through February 14, customers can bring in their favorite bubbly -- or wine (and maybe beer too, in case you've got a wild one on your hands) -- and have it covered in food-grade wrap,  dipped in gourmet dark, milk or white chocolate blends, and decorated (as

• Yogen Früz Slaps Miami In The Face!

  Yogen Früz, the Canada-based international frozen yogurt company, operates over 1,100 venues in 20 countries, but none in South Florida. Yet. The company is getting set to open their first such location in downtown Miami (100 South Biscayne Blvd). Some will be pleased that we'll finally have access to the probiotic culture-fortified treat; I'm insulted that the company found so many other places it deemed worthier than us. I mean it's one thing to be a second thought, another to be an eleven-hu

• By the Way, Now Might Be a Good Time to Crack Down on the Pork Pirates

  Depending on who you ask, swine flu is either the 12 Monkeys virus come to scour the earth of humanity, or it's an overhyped limited-scope bug that the media has recklessly sensationalized. Though we're inclined to believe it's the latter- - those media sure are scumbags -- we still don't think people should be dumb about it. And there's something, amid all of this frenzy over the safety of the pork industry, about the fact that Miami-Dade is swarming with illegal hog farmers and slaughterhouses
