Last year, Pubbelly and Eating House combined forces for what was the first pop-up to correlate with Miami Spice. Now, the Pubbelly Miami Spice pop-up returns with a new chef pairing. This year, Pubbelly chef and two-time James Beard semi-finalist Jose Mendin teams up with Makoto Okuwa of Stephen Starr’s…
Short Order was recently invited to De Rodriguez Cuba on Ocean to check out updates to the menu. It had been awhile since our last visit to the luxury Cuban restaurant helmed by the “Godfather of Nuevo Latino Cuisine,” chef Doug Rodriguez, so we were excited to taste the changes…
Who would have thought that an animated TV series about a jaundiced, dysfunctional family would become the longest-running scripted show in history? Homer, Bart, and the extended Simpsons family have grown from a comic into an entire industry, with movies, branding opportunities, and an area of Universal Studios in Orlando…
If you love a restaurant, you’ll probably love its Miami Spice menu too. But certain places succeed for reasons beyond personal taste. These spots proffer great deals, extensive choices, or special items such as complimentary wine. As part of our Miami Spice coverage, we’ve checked out all the menus to…

When Curbed and exMiami.org reported last week that Pasha’s on Lincoln Road would be closing soon, lovers of healthful, affordable, quick, and easy food — a rarity on South Beach — cried out with concern. But Short Order is here to set the record straight and calm your falafel-induced fears…
When the news was announced that Richard Hales was opening a Chinese restaurant, Miamians breathed a collective sigh of relief. After all, Miami is one of the few major cities that has a dearth of good, well-priced Chinese restaurants. (We even found a mini Chinatown in Rome.) Although Hales, a…
The Cubano Burger at Umami Burger tastes like gravy-topped chicharrón. The grease-ridden concoction pairs a pork patty with a lightly toasted bun. Shaved ham, pineapple mustard, and molten cheese crown the fatty swine, summoning images of Havana, Hawaiian pizza, and heartburn. Each nibble makes your lips gleam and your fingers…

If Miami Spice were a little-league team, certain restaurants would receive only participation awards. Sure, they’re playing the game.

We don’t often eat frog wontons, but when we do we prefer if they don’t look like an actual frog. As we previously mentioned, this weekend Dos Equis brought their market-inspired soiree, Bazaar Noir, to Grand Central. Guests were given passports, to be stamped through visits to several worldly stations…
Miamians are fortunate enough to have access to fresh seafood year-round, but when summer hits, the need for light, refreshing fish and shellfish becomes almost a necessity. We rather munch down on ceviche and shrimp cocktails than baby back ribs and baked potatoes when the temperature hits 90 degrees –…
It looks as though Miami is officially the second home of Mob Wives. First, Angela “Big Ang” Raiola opened an outpost of her Staten Island bar, the Drunken Monkey, on South Beach. Miami Monkey, which opened in May on the second floor of the Netherland on Ocean Drive, will feature…
Miami Spice is both wonderful and overwhelming. With 199 restaurants to choose from and only 60 days to indulge, selecting your next bargain-priced, three-course meal can prove daunting.

The culinary crawl will lead eaters to four different eateries, where they’ll nosh on three specialties per spot. While the locales are top secret, we…
Chicken and waffles are a soul food combination embraced as that perfect duo for those wee hours between dinner and breakfast. In Miami, the party doesn’t stop until late the next morning, so now the hungry and the hungover have a place to call home on Sunday mornings/afternoons…
