In addition to large amounts of cash and the last vestiges of our dignity, we lost an hour this weekend. Seriously, 2014 called and it’s so over Daylight Saving Time. Since 60 minutes of your life are gone forever (well, till fall), it’s more important than ever to make the…
Meat and muscles have long been considered a dynamic duo. The puns alone speak volumes: meatheads and beefcakes anyone? But the world is changing, and no longer is meat considered the wondrous protein source of yesteryear. Thanks to flicks like Forks Over Knives, people of all kinds are getting on…
If your usual crew eats like they were raised in a barn, dinner with zoo animals might be a step up. At Friday’s Feast With the Beasts, you can mix and mingle with the residents of Zoo Miami. They might just teach you a thing or two about table manners…
It’s that time of year again. No, we’re not talking birds and bees and March Madness and all of that other spring crap. We’re talking Cadbury Cream Egg time at Easter. Seriously, is there anything more awesome than seeing those indulgent little morsels on store shelves everywhere?
Rejoice, lovers of Ethiopian eats! The East African cuisine has finally made its way back to Miami. For a limited time, anyway. Beginning today, Whole Foods locales statewide are rolling out a hot food lineup featuring Ethiopian cuisine in all its glory. From wats to stews, Ethiopian fare is well…
Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean you have to forgo all convenience foods. You’re busy, you’re on-the-go, you’re the master of your universe, and you sure as hell don’t want to be stuck eating McDonald’s out of desperation. Sometimes, everyone just needs to eat something out of a plastic wrapper…
In the rest of the country, March came in like a lion with a serious temper. White outs and freezing temps were everywhere. Now, folks up north are bracing for a winter storm. Here in paradise, the month kicked off with blue skies and 80 degree temps. Seriously guys, we…
It’s no secret that fruits and vegetables are the health Holy Grail. As author and professor Michael Pollan so succinctly said: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” But it’s not quite as simple as chowing down on anything you find in the produce aisle, because lots of it is…
Even if you don’t know a sloop from a sunfish or couldn’t give a shit less about the cut of a jib, it’s alright. Almost everyone is into art and alcohol, and both of those elements (in addition to a bunch of expensive boats) will be in full force at…
Whether you remember her best for the headgear she wore as Guinan on Star Trek: TNG or her freaky threesome with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in Ghost, there’s no question Whoopi Goldberg is a woman who’s hard to forget. This comedian, actor, humanitarian, talk-show host, and activist (we could…
Whole Foods is on a mission. In addition to wresting control of Americans’ grocery shopping from the likes of uncouth competitors like Publix and Ralph’s, it is also all about healthful eats. And the Health Starts Here (HSH) program is designed to promote just that. HSH is the chain’s in-store…
When I made the decision to go vegan, I was as mentally prepared as possible to sacrifice milk and dairy, but there were a few favorite items that made the choice more challenging. Namely, cheese, Wet Willie’s Bahama Mamas, and boba milk tea. For anyone not lucky enough to have…
Looks like Miami’s new sister city is none other than Pawnee, Ind. Yesterday, the 305 was home to Parks and Recreation IRL, as Amy Poehler and Michelle Obama took the stage at the NFL/YET Center at Gwen Cherry Park to announce some new additions to the first-lady’s “Let’s Move” kids’…
According to the owners of the newly opened Smart Bites Cafe, crickets and worms are the protein source of the future. But even if you’re a little squeamish about this forward-thinking food source, you can still find plenty of healthful (and more socially acceptable) edibles at the Wynwood-area breakfast and…
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle while on the go is never an easy feat. Many a committed eater has fallen prey to airport food courts, convenience foods, and mile-high belly bloat. But it is possible to eat clean, healthy, and even vegan while traveling, according to author and food coach Alina…
Whether you ate your weight in foie gras and stone crab at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, or just sat on your ass binge-watching House of Cards this weekend, it’s likely we’re all equally unhappy about Monday’s unwelcome arrival. No matter. Five days will pass in a flash…
If the great apes are (basically) our brothers, we’re the worst siblings ever: the Chet to their Wyatt, the Wayne to their Kevin, the Loki to their Thor. These incredibly intelligent creatures are facing serious risks, almost all of them caused by mankind — from the bushmeat market to the…
With the SoBeWFF just days away, celebrity chefs are leaving their hometowns to flood our sunny city with big personalities and debaucherous dalliances. This is their version of spring break, after all — so anything can happen. This tendency towards troublemaking means you’d be wise to follow your favorite personalities’…
Considering humans are 99 percent ape, we treat our hairier brethren pretty badly. Because of the illegal pet trade, bushmeat demand, and habitat destruction, they’re in serious danger. But have a chance to make nice at this weekend’s African Ape Awareness Festival, whose proceeds will fund the Last Great Ape…
Considering he’s the dude behind Miami’s Gotham Steak and New York City’s Gotham Bar and Grill, Chef Alfred Portale’s expertise on all things vegetable might surprise more than a few people. But expertise, he has. So much so that he recently released a vegetarian recipe journal, Greenmarket to Gotham, and…
Most of Miami knows Pamela Wasabi as the edgy, stylish and eternally surprising firebrand behind Wasabi Fashion Kult. But since becoming a mother, Pamela’s embarked on a new journey that has less to do what’s on our bodies than what’s going in them. Pamela is officially closing WFK and saying…
Hard as we try, it’s tough to avoid Big Ag. Even if we stick to whole foods (the actual eats, not the store), most of the produce aisle is GMO-ridden. And living in this densely populated paradise, it’s unlikely most of us have access to garden plots. Enter Earthbox, the…
