Remember the scene in Titanic where Rose asks Jack to paint her like one of his French girls, wearing only the heart of the ocean diamond? Kate Winslet’s 15 minutes of nudity sparked fantasies in women everywhere to want to be immortalized and eroticized via art. Well, that fantasy has…
If the movie Chef taught us anything, it’s that every chef yearns for the creative freedom to run a kitchen. The film also predicted the next trend in the food industry, at least in Miami: food bloggers partnering with chefs for their first solo endeavor. Blue Collar’s Danny Serfer opened…
If there’s something we learned at Jeremiah Bullfrogs P.I.G. 5 is that chefs love to cook pork. They also love those who like to eat pork, which was the case with the 250-plus swine aficionados who congregated at Brisky Gallery in Wynwood Sunday for an afternoon of pig eating, beer…
Did you have a good weekend? Whether you were getting lucky at Lucky Rice, chowing down on Thanksgiving dishes at Top Turkey, or tailgating at the UM vs. FSU game, one thing is for sure: you did a whole lot of eating and drinking. To wind down, you might want…
If you’ve been to Swine since it’s opening in March 2013, you know the Coral Gables eatery is fond of hog. But a year and a half in, the restaurant has decided to adjust to the demanding palates of the surrounding community, deviating from pork-centric and heavy dishes and coming…
Pork is good. If you’re nodding your head right now and beginning to salivate at the mere thought or the tender and succulent meat, then you’ll want to make your way to Brisky Gallery in Wynwood this Sunday for a different kind of artistic exhibition — one that puts pig…
In a walkthrough of Corsair, celebrity chef Scott Conant’s second Miami endeavor set to open in mid-December at Turnberry Isle, we learned quite a few things about the Chopped judge, Scarpetta owner, and father of two girls. For instance, he likes to curse. And he’s a jokester. And in high…
Don’t want to wait for Thanksgiving to stuff your face with turkey? Burger Beast is here to save the day. This Saturday, more than 20 food trucks will gather at Magic City Casino for the third-annual Top Turkey Thanksgiving Dinner Challenge, where they’ll duke it out for bragging rights and…
Kush has a new sandwich and it isn’t a burger, although it does have grass-fed meat. And tomatoes. And lettuce. And grilled onions. And melted jack cheese. And potato stix. All pressed between two challah buns stamped with the Kush seal of approval. If the above description sounds like some…
Only five more days till the weekend is back, but plenty to do this week. Like buckets of beer hand picked by Gravity Brew Lab’s Diego Ganoza paired with Jose Mendin’s McBellly, learning to make the perfect mojito at TK’s, and two dollar cocktails for the ladies at SuViche (sorry…
Want free tequila? No, that’s not a trick question. Last night, Herradura Tequila invited lovers of booze and art to participate in the second-annual Miami Barrel Head Art program. Three out of five Wynwood bars and restaurants unveiled tequila barrels turned into unique works of art by one of their…
If you happened to be jogging through Brickell Avenue last night, you might have encountered something strange: a food truck stationed outside the Four Seasons and a pop-up bar a few feet away serving coffee cocktails and flutes of prosecco. It was a preview party to celebrate the five additional…
Miami has grown accustomed to the idea that brunch means bottomless booze and putting an egg on things, but in Vietnamese cooking, egg isn’t a big part of the cuisine. Instead, pho and tea is the typical Sunday ritual. At Hannya, the Japanese restaurant in Brickell from the duo behind…
There’s something great about Neapolitan-style pizza. Perhaps it’s the cloud-like dough that improves after every bite. Or the molten center that forms from the marriage of cheese and sauce. It’s a unique style of pizza, and at Proof Pizza & Pasta in Midtown, it’s the specialty. Executive chef and owner…
Alfresco dining in Miami isn’t exactly a rarity, but you probably haven’t had supper in the middle of the street before, unless you’ve attended Giralda Under the Stars sometime in the past four years. The seasonal event, which kicks off this Friday and runs every first Friday of the month…
There’s really no better way to spend Sunday funday than by eating and drinking alfresco as the cool Miami breeze blows. Which is precisely why the people behind the second-annual Flavors of North Miami have brought back the food, wine, and craft beer festival to the open-air plaza of the…
It’s hard to believe that in just two days, OTC will celebrate its second anniversary. I remember stumbling into the Brickell eatery and devouring a plate of chicken ‘n’ waffles like it was yesterday. The comfort-food-and-craft-beer spot started as an over-the-counter joint proffering short ribs, Brie grilled cheese, and foie…
In 2007, when downtown Miami was not a desirable place to be after 5 o’clock, Juan Chipoco and Luis Hoyos took a chance and purchased a sliver of space known as La Cibeles Cuban Restaurant. After flipping Cuban sandwiches in a city that offers better Cuban food than the island…
Come December 12, STK will reclaim its proper place on South Beach inside the newly renovated 1 Hotel & Homes (formerly the Perry and the Gansevoort South Beach). The chic steak house was originally supposed to stay open during the transformation into an eco-friendly lodge, but it shuttered for a…
Imagine a world where a croqueta preparada and a croque-monsieur met, fell in love, and had a baby. Not only would that sandwich would be bilingual in Spanish and French, but it would also change the croqueta game forever. That’s exactly what the folks who own the roving grilled cheese…
When you think of a brand like Four Seasons, street food doesn’t necessarily spring to mind. But come Thursday, that perception might change. This is because the Four Seasons Food Truck East Coast tour concludes with a five-day visit to the Magic City. Yep. Four Seasons has a food truck,…
If chowing down on 20-plus burgers sounds like an ideal weeknight, gear up for the fourth-annual Burgerliscious, returning to Fred B. Hartnett Ponce Circle Park in Coral Gables this Thursday, November 6, from 6 to 10 p.m. That gives you four hours to get your burger on and even go…
