Art Basel is officially here. There’s a ton of events and parties going on all at once in Wynwood this week, which can only mean one thing: everyone will be in Wynwood and everyone there will be in need of a drink… or three. So it’s a good thing that…
Of all the bartenders on South Beach, Angelo Vieira is by far the most serious. It’s a Friday night and he’s sloshing and rattling steel shakers filled with gin, lemon juice, cr�me de violet, and maraschino liqueur. To prepare a drink, he wields jiggers, strainers, bar spoons, and funny-shaped ice…
Blackbrick, Richard Hales’ new restaurant, brings Chinese cuisine to midtown this week — just in time for Art Basel. Chef/owner Richard Hales gave us a tour and a taste of things to come, telling Short Order that he hopes to open the restaurant this Thursday, December 5, with a limited…
Celebrity chef Bobby Flay will open his Bobby’s Burger Palace at Dadeland Mall this Friday, December 6, and one Short Order reader will have the opportunity to be the first person to walk through the doors when the restaurant opens — and will be personally greeted by the Food Network…
Even as 2013 winds down, Miami heats up with Art Basel taking over both the beach and the mainland as thousands of people swarm to our city for parties, food, and drinks — all in the name of art. With that, many restaurants are planning pop-ups, while others plan to…
The House of V, the home-based vegan bakery run by a former Bouchon pastry cook, is popping up at a retail space for Art Basel. Owner Valentina Cordero will launch a temporary bakery at Miami Iron Side on the Upper Eastside. Its grand opening is scheduled for today from 5…
Navigating Whole Foods’ salad bar isn’t always easy. You might overspend and make amateur mistakes, like choosing meat packed with heavy — and costly — bones. Thankfully, KC Healthy Cooking is only a block away from North Miami’s Whole Foods store. The casual restaurant resides on the bottom floor of…
John’s Tacos is popping up in Wynwood for Art Basel. John O’Connell, who takes over the Josh’s Deli space evenings from 6 p.m.-midnight, is bringing his tacos south for Art Basel. O’Connell said that he decided to open a temporary space during Basel because “pop-ups seem to be very fashionable…
Despite your best efforts to consume your weight in turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, your refrigerator is still stuffed to the brim with leftovers. Fail. Ron Swanson would be totally unimpressed by your eating abilities. But all that extra food has gotta go somewhere. Instead of the standard heat and…
Today is Black Friday and if you’re not feeling the usual trip to the big-box retailer, we feel your pain. Screw the crowds, the insane grabbing for the last Duck Dynasty flannel PJs, and the fighting for a parking spot because two of our favorite local Miami merchants are having…
Happy Black Friday, everyone. Now that stores are open on Thanksgiving, maybe we can actually find a parking spot at the mall today (we’re not counting on it). This weekend mandates that you shop ’til you drop with day-after-Thanksgiving sales and “shop small” Saturday. Sunday? Take the day off and…
Locals began to notice the giant radio tower in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood only after a bar popped up next to it. Can you blame us? Miamiams love a good cocktail, and Radio Bar knows how to serve them. The pop-up-turned-permanent-establishment marks a year in December. Along with…
Thanksgiving is here, which means you’re home from the turkey trot and about to get to work in the kitchen. With so many dishes to make (including that darn turkey), unless you’re Martha Stewart, you’re bound to have a few kitchen misses along the way. Not to worry. There is…
Thanksgiving is today, and while most of us will open a few bottles of wine for the main meal, we suggest welcoming family and friends with a smart cocktail. But what cocktail is appropriate for Thanksgiving in Miami? If we could dream, we’d love to see a classic winter libation…
For the holidays, why waste time baking a pumpkin pie when you can just buy one? We’re not talking about a mass-produced puck from Publix. We’re talking about the ultimate pumpkin pie from Fireman Derek’s World-Famous Pies. Derek Kaplan — a six-foot-two, tattooed City of Miami firefighter — has been…
Lure Fishbar, the latest New York restaurant to open a SoBe outpost, opens its doors at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel on Monday, December 2. The restaurant is a collaboration between restaurateurs John McDonald and Joshua Pickard, along with Lure Fishbar Chef/Partner Josh Capon. McDonald and Pickard’s New York restaurants…
Wednesdays suck — except when it’s the hump day before Thanksgiving. The five-day weekend is just around the corner. But this time can also be stressful, particularly if you’re still scrambling for the perfect holiday recipes. Fret no longer. From organic turkey to butternut squash soup, Miami’s leading chefs have…
Thanksgivukkah eve is upon us and whether or not you’re celebrating this holiday mashup where Maccabees meet turkeys, we can all agree on one thing: Potato latkes are delicious. See also: Thanksgivukkah: Turbrisket, Menurkey, and a Movie (Video)…
Thanksgiving is the one day of the year set aside to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives — and share an overly-indulgent, epic meal. Except for poor vegetarians — most years, they’ve gotta endure a house all smelled up like turkey, and are left to nibble on…
Not all Thanksgiving dinners are created equally. While the usual turkey and trimmings always make for a delicious meal, trading in pumpkin pie for pumpkin tres leche is an easy way to add Cuban flare to your holiday. And let’s be honest, leche condensada (condensed milk) makes everything better. This…
At Toro Toro, the year-old, pan-Latin restaurant at the Intercontinental Hotel, guests can enjoy a lunch buffet during the week and a bottomless brunch during the weekend. But which option offers a better deal? To find out, Short Order recently visited Toro Toro for both meals. Pictures of the smack…
