Jimmy Sklaventis, a former owner of the very-good Universe Café, one of Hollywood Boulevard’s chiller establishments, is now the dude running the SAS Martini Lounge on Harrison Street. SAS is chic and reliably packed — reserving a table wouldn’t…
Baby, we’re through. Yeah, so, there’s Wall Street. There’s Sarah Palin. Hurricane Ike. The potential collapse of WaMu, the bank that controls my entire, very meager life savings. But then there are those little things that just make my wretched human existence feel soooooo worthwhile. I’m talking about my iGoogle…
OK, this is by far the weirdest, messiest edible I’ve ever kept in my kitchen, a thing that performs a sort of vegetal strip tease over the course of a week or so, spilling greenish dragon scales all over counter top and floor. You eat the part that reveals itself,…

Be honest: Does this look like breakfast? This Sunday, September 21, 2008: If you’ve never eaten a Mamey (tastes like a sweet potato crossed with a papaya) or a Jackfruit (juicyfruit candy crossed with bananas) you’ll have a chance this Sunday to give it a whirl, courtesy of Fairchild Tropical…
[ Biba: Haunt of the Hotties We’re officially halfway through Flavor Palm Beach, the only thirty dollar three-course meal you’re likely to get in the foreseeable future. Have you been to Forte yet? Solu? Strip House? I stopped in to Forte last week for cocktails, and before I could say…
I have so much love to give. Serious serial monogamy There have always been things to love about Java Boys in Wilton Manors. Besides the best mocha in the world (seriously: everybody else skimps on the chocolate), Java Boys has pretty good pound cakes, comfy sofas, a friendly clientele, and…
Dude comes with a price tag. Deconstructed Press Release: Ft. Lauderdale—Fresh from his stint as Oprah Winfrey’s chef for her 21-Day Cleanse… um, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the point of a “cleanse” to stop eating for a while? Don’t you drink a lot of juice and warm…
