• Kath & Kim Leaves Us Geographically Confused

  The best thing about NBC's American version of Kath & Kim is its cast. Molly Shannon, Selma Blair and John Michael Higgins have all had flashes of brilliance in their careers, and occasionally have them here. The second best thing about it is that it comes on right before The Office, so it's pretty easy for us to remember to tune in a half hour earlier to watch it. Though like The Office, another import of a foreign comedy smash, it hasn't found footing in its first few episodes. We're pulling

• Slow Foods Glades to Coast Dinner at Cafe Boulud

  (sturgeon: It's what's for dinner)The Slow Foods Glades to Coast Chapter, which covers roughly the Palm Beach and Broward areas, is hosting a 5-course Growers' Discovery gourmet dinner at Cafe Boulud in Palm Beach this Thursday, December 11, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. The dinner, overseen by chef Zach Bell, is pricey at $125 per person (that includes wine pairings, tax and tip), but the menu sounds intriguing. In keeping with the locavore bent of Slow Food, Bell has sourced sturgeon from the Mote M

• Welcome to Florida, Can I Interest You in a Shady Hedge Fund?

  Riptide is not much of an economist, then again who is these days? But, if I'm following the logic correctly, the reason we have so many tax cuts and loopholes for the über-rich is because theoretically they're supposed to inject their extra money directly back into the economy and create jobs and the like. Well, apparently instead of that, they seem to have developed a habit of letting their money disappear in Ponzi schemes and other wacky investment schemes, especially in Florida. Hot of the

• Mini-Madoff Turns Himself In

  Much has happened with Art Nadel since we last wrote about him. For one, he has acquired a catchy new nickname: Mini-Madoff! How dignified. More important, though, he turned himself in to the FBI early this morning. Nadel ran six hedge funds out of Sarasota, and investors thought they were worth $300 million. Turns out they were worth less than $1 million. Seventy-six-year-old Nadel went missing about two weeks ago after leaving a suicide-esque note. But shortly afterward, he called his wife fro

• Florida Probably Doesn't Want New Hampshire's Leftovers

  Considering most runners in the 2010 Senate race haven't held a position higher than congressman, it might behoove anyone with a stronger resumé to think about entering the fray, and what better job to have in your past when seeking a Senate seat than senator? Reportedly, former New Hampshire Sen. Bob Smith, who now lives in Sarasota, is at least thinking about throwing in his name. But the Buzz makes a good point in that "winning a statewide election in New Hampshire is akin to winning a count

• James Beard Nominations Confirm Our Secret Crushes

  The James Beard Foundation has announced its nominees for the best chefs around the country, and two of our hunky, homegrown hubbas are among this year's picks: Chef Dean James Max (pictured left) of 3030 Ocean, in Fort Lauderdale; and Chef Zach Bell of Cafe Boulud in Palm Beach. It seems as though the Beard judges read our minds this year, because we were thinking precisely the same thing just as we heard of the announcements, to whit: "Dean and Zach are just so close to perfect in every w

• Connie Mack IV Will Not Run for Senate in State He Barely Lives In

  If Charlie Crist does not run for Senate, Marco Rubio is officially the luckiest man on Earth. Rep. Connie Mack IV (né Cornelius Harvey McGillicuddy IV), who pulled in decent numbers during early polling mainly because he shares a name with his father, former Sen. Connie Mack III, has decided not to run. Instead, he'll run for re-election to his Southwest Florida House seat. Mack is married to Congresswoman Mary Bono (widow of Sonny Bono), who represents a district in California. This would be

• Two Divers Die During Lobster Mini-Season

  photo via Miamism's Flickr​Every year divers start off lobster mini-season with the same thought in their head, "Let's have some fun. Their meat is sick. I wanna take a dive with my tickle stick." Unfortunately things always seem to take a turn for the deadly. Two divers have turned up dead. A 47 year-old man from Sarasota turned up dead off Haulover Beach in Miami. While, a 36 year-old man from Winter Springs experienced a fatal seizure during the bug hunt. So far that's d
