Danny Serfer is no stranger to breast cancer. “My mother died 11 years ago this month,” he says. With a mission to raise awareness, he’s teamed up with Cobaya founders to host a one-night-only Pink Collar dinner featuring the best caviar, the best stone crabs, and the best truffles (which…
Halloween leaves grown ups feeling a lot like the Trix Rabbit — unfairly deprived just because we’re past puberty. Too old for trick or treating, seriously? Don’t we deserve free goodies given all the shitty adult responsibilities we’re saddled with? Luckily, there are some places that believing in rewarding those…
Come Thursday, there’s only one way to avoid hoards of trick or treaters banging down your door: go out. Hide your candy in the cupboard, turn off the lights, and abandon house and home for some adults-only entertainment. Dinner out sounds so much nicer than dealing with bratty kids in…
What started as a tiny seafood shack has now become a full-fledged fish empire. My Ceviche, the fast-casual brand owned by Sam Gorenstein and Roger Duarte, is opening a third location. The restaurant will be located in South Miami — at 5900 SW 73 street. See also: Sam Gorenstein’s Leap…
After years of wishful rumors and hopeful murmurs, Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto is officially setting up shop in Miami. And, as with many new endeavors, the announcement was made surreptitiously via Craigslist. An ad posted to the site yesterday announces his new outpost at the Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach,…
Colette Little French Bistro opened over two weeks ago on Lincoln Road. Featuring woven chairs and a Parisian-inspired decor, its outdoor terrace feels more Champs-�lys�es than South Beach. Chef Frederick Bouldron, who worked in several Michelin-rated restaurants in France, previously served as chef de cuisine at Miami’s Tosca and Villa…
On a recent afternoon, we braved the construction on Alton Road to visit Go-Go Fresh Food Caf�. It’s a small, fast-casual restaurant where you order items from a menu laminated on the wall. Offerings include big salads, mini salads, soups, and the popular Go-Go pies (AKA empanadas). As much as…
The only thing better than wine is free wine. And former Miamian and author Lisa Mattson is offering just that at two separate events this weekend in honor of her new book, The Exes in My iPod: A Playlist of the Men Who Rocked Me to Wine Country. The book…
Bolthouse Farms’ latest marketing endeavor isn’t a billboard, a Facebook campaign, or a TV commercial. It’s a living, breathing entity that makes its home right here in Miami. A living wall, to be exact. The company behind the new growth is a conglomeration of carrot farmers. They make juices, smoothies,…
South Beach has never looked as good as it does this sun-drenched afternoon. You’re sitting beneath the sea grape tree at Restaurant Michael Schwartz and watching two dudes play catch with a foam football in the Raleigh Hotel pool. Children romp in the water and beg their parents for more…

The city’s annual hedonism heyday (well, one of many) is just a few short months away. We’re referring, of course, to the South Beach Wine and Food Festival. From February 20th through 23rd, 2014, this annual event will invade our sunny shores with more food, drink, and celebrity chef debauchery…
Gigi is really tapping into the Halloween spirit. Until Thursday, the midtown restaurant will display pumpkins carved by its staff. But they’re not just for show. The restaurant is hosting an employee carving contest. The winner will receive cash, a gift certificate, and a bottle of booze. Chef Jose Valines…
You thought you had tried every kind of pumpkin-infused edible out there. After all, when you can get pumpkin spice lattes at McDonald’s, what’s left? But forget pumpkin ales or pumpkin coffee. There’s something much more magnificent to satisfy your pumpkin obsession: hard pumpkin cider. Seriously. It’s the beautiful lovechild…
It’s really awkward that Halloween falls on a Thursday this year. Not because we won’t go out and party, but because most of our Halloween events happened this past weekend. We already got dressed up. We already took the photos. They’re all over Facebook and Instagram. But Thursday will roll…
Wet Willie’s is a South Beach institution. Hell, the booze-infused slushies can make even the boiling sun tolerable. But they also pack a lot of calories. That’s not exactly conducive to a bikini bod. But gym buffs can now rejoice. The Ocean Drive establishment has just introduced a sugar-free version…
Cold-pressed juices and booze-free shots aren’t always as satisfying as something you can chew on. That’s why when Jugofresh’s Matthew Sherman and Darren Laszlo (AKA Chef Paco) invited Short Order to try their new food menu paired with juices, we happily obliged. The 15-course meal featured flavorful, nostalgic dishes. They…
Sam Gorenstein sticks to what he knows. At My Ceviche, he serves pristine local fish in burritos, tacos, and even quinoa bowls. When he goes out to eat, the Colombian-born chef doesn’t venture too far from his roots. He clings to seafood and Latin American eats. Here, in his own…
There are many wondrous finds on the shelves of Trader Joe’s: coconut-covered cashews, cookie butter, $2.99 wine. It’s a magical place — like Wonka’s Chocolate Factory for grownups. And unlike your average Publix, there are all kinds of vegetarian and vegan foods. Here are the top ten vegetarian finds at…
JR’s Gourmet Burgers in Miami Springs offers a dish called the “Outside Is In” ($7.99). It’s a half-pound mass of beef that’s stuffed with crisp bacon and melted cheddar cheese. True story…

Dinner Lab, a self-proclaimed “social dining experiment” with outposts in nine major cities, is set to debut in Miami in early 2014. The members-only supper club hosts up to 80 dinners in each metropolis yearly. And these meals are never exactly the same. For each event, Dinner Lab changes its…
