José Andrés drew much criticism today after Tweeting a graphic photo of dead deer and wild boars. The caption of the photo, which shows a pool of blood in the background, read “A good hunting day! Un buen dia de Caza.” Almost immediately, his followers fired back with messages of…
An entire week of nearly-perfect can only be topped by one thing: A weekend in the Redlands. Now, before you write off South Florida’s farmlands, remember this: There is barbecue down there. The weather won’t get any better. While you’re there, you can pick up local vegetables for the week…
For those people who think that brunch can only be defined by eggs benedict, waffles, and mimosas, the joke’s on them. In the past year and a half, the Magic City has erected a handful of new restaurants that offer Saturday and Sunday brunch — without the Hollandaise and home…
One of two things happened when you read the headline. You either (A) let out a loud groan and thought, Ugh, it’s not Valentine’s Day again, is it? Screw love, or (B) thought, Ugh, I’m too broke for dinner out. We can’t really help if love has screwed you over…
So, 30 Rock ended last night. Did anyone else cry? No? Just us? OK, then. A list of the 24 best Florida moments surfed the Interwebs yesterday. Looking at it now seems kind of morbid, but luckily someone’s in town to make it all better. Tracy Morgan will ease our…
Since we can’t all be in New Orleans this weekend cheering on our favorite teams (by the way, are you a Ravens or a 49ers fan?) the party is just going to have to come to us. And, sure, we’re under a lot of national humiliation right now with Dan…
The wafting smell of shawarma and freshly baked pita bread greets customers as they mosey into Oriental Bakery and Grocery. It’s one of just a handful of Middle Eastern specialty markets in Greater Miami. In fact, it was the first of its kind in South Florida, having opened 41 years…
The big game is this Sunday, and if you’re a fan of football, you’re surely planning what to make, what to buy, and delegating who’s in charge of the clean-up. We asked Blue Collar’s chef/owner Danny Serfer for a recipe to spice up the average potato skins, pretzels, and chips…
Plenty of restaurants in Miami serve a fantastic brunch spread — but most of them are expensive. And let’s face it: Not all of us are doctors and lawyers who can afford a $65 Sunday brunch at Edge or even a $45 brunch at La Gloutonnerie. Racking up a bill…
So this weekend is the Miami Marathon. Hah. Runners. The whole lot of them. Thinking they’re all fancy because they can run 26 miles and challenge their endurance to the outer limits of human possibility. You know, when we weren’t half-functioning adults, we had all the time in the world…
As professional eaters, we pride ourselves on the ability to include food in every occasion. Wedding? We keep the canapes classy. School bake sale? The kids love our maldon salt chocolate cookies the best. Miami Marathon? The ultimate excuse for a carb load — whether you’re running or not. So…
Should we find ourselves in Downtown Miami and in need of [a few] mimosas and some serious eats, Toro Toro’s new brunch service will swiftly cater to the hungry. The Pan-Latin steakhouse that New Times called “bullish” for its ambitious fare and moderate prices, is now offering brunch on Sundays…
The weekend completely crept up on us this week. But Matisyahu is in town, so that makes the surprise and lack of plans all worth it. Have you read our interview with him this week? It’s all about losing his beard and reclaiming himself and going naked for acoustic and…
Chilly this morning, huh? This city is at her finest when we have 80-degree weather one day and 60 degrees the next. Makes us feel like L.A. but without all the earthquakes and cold ocean water. The weekend is supposed to be lovely. Sure, there’s a drizzle or two expected…
Update: Giraffas announced that they have chosen Miami-Dade to be the Brazilian chain’s U.S. headquarters adding 285 direct new jobs within three years and an initial capital investment of $8 million. Congratulations on your 285 new jobs, Miami.We recently stumbled across a headline picked up by the Huffington Post from a website…
With the South Beach Wine & Food Festival a mere stone’s throw away, we can’t help but think of all the traffic, money, and celebrities the bash will bring. Sure, South Beach will be a pain in the ass to get around for those four days, but take into account…
Tuesdays suck. Happy hour can make them better. If you’re hankering for a cocktail or two estilo Broken Shaker, look no further for the same booze wisdom than South Street. The Design District’s neo-soul-food joint (a favorite of Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union’s) has launched a weekly happy hour program…
Wait for it… Wait for it…. IT’S FRIDAY! And it’s almost as though we didn’t even have to wait that long, right? Surely enough secret shots under your desk pulled you through the week so Friday came a lot sooner than expected. It’s cool. We don’t judge. Anyway, there’s lots…
When Rebecca Black made that horrific music video “Friday,” the only thing the poor girl wanted to convey was that it was just freakin’ Friday. There is no soul out there that doesn’t rejoice after hearing the news that it’s the last day of the work week, when a full…
Fishing for dinner plans tonight? Look no further. Kitchen 305 at Newport Hotel and Resort has plenty lobster and stone crab to go around a couple times for those who appreciate its sweet, succulent meat of the gods. In fact, they’re making such a big deal of the affair, it’s…
Who doesn’t like brunch? It’s the best of both worlds. Breakfast and lunch items with the bonus of dessert (sometimes). Some people think it’s too much, but we think it’s just right. Before the end of 2012, a couple of places around town began serving brunch, and now that January…
Did you notice the Mean Girls-style action going on on Twitter this weekend? Chances are you did. But if you didn’t, Miami’s food industry gained two new handles to look after: @FoodGossip305 and @NotChowFather. Leading the anonymous secret spiller pack in late December was @MiamiFoodGossip. Short Order has tried to…
