This Monday hurts more than most. Whether you were partying with daddy or crying over the Heat’s loss, even a lethal amount of caffeine doesn’t seem enough today. When times are tough, start eating. Nothing soothes the stresses of life like comfort food. Creamy, dreamy, fatty goodness on a plate…
The refrigerator is the heart of a kitchen — the magic can’t happen without the fresh ingredients that are stored below 40° F behind closed doors. So for food lovers, getting a look inside a chef’s fridge is like a fashionista taking a peak at Anna Wintour’s closet. That’s why…
Around the same time Mason jars became hip, home cooking became a competitive sport. Foodists no longer impress friends with homespun gifts: sourdough bread, strawberry jam, pies filled with Granny Smith apples, rainbows, and tears. Now, cooks must master duck prosciutto, pickled ramps, and ricotta. But Jeff Michaud, the James…
The Magic City might be getting some high-profile attention from the largest craft brewery in the United States, the Boston Beer Company, brewer of Sam Adams beer. Is it true? If so, then this would be a huge boost to the craft beer scene in Miami, which is already on…
After about a year of anticipation, Huahua’s Taqueria opens today. The fast casual Chihuahua-themed restaurant opens today at 11 a.m. for lunch, serving up a menu of tacos, enchiladas, and a variety of sides. When we interviewed chef/partner Todd Erickson two weeks ago, he said he couldn’t wait to “tear…
Judging by his affinity for booze, a laid back lifestyle and the occasional sexcapade, we’re pretty sure The Dude would approve of Miami. So it’s a fitting tribute to spend Sunday night on one of the city’s best pool decks, drinking, eating and watching him in all his boozy, bowling…
Dads are often the unsung heroes of the world, doling our cash, car keys, and wisdom — only to take the backseat when it comes to praise and affection. This Sunday, we suggest taking your dad aside after the family brunch and whisking him off for a little one-on-one time…
In an effort to always bring you The Best, we rounded up a few eats and drinks from around town that are mostly new for the season, starting with a summer classic: Ceviche. Its acidity energizes, its light, yet filling and when done right, it never sacrifices flavor. For a…
In case you’ve been living under a rock the last few days, we want to spread the good news: Best of Miami 2013 is out. That means that in newsstands all over Miami-Dade County, you have Miami Bibles to pick up. Think of them as the ultimate guide to eating…
Last month was Mother’s Day and it was all about flowers, champagne, and lovely brunches filled with tea and crumpets and complimentary roses. This Sunday it’s dad’s turn and, while he could probably skip the crumpets, that doesn’t mean you should give the old man the shaft by getting him…
The outdoor deck of popular sports bar Shuckers collapsed into Biscayne Bay last evening, sending dozens of people into Biscayne Bay last evening. According to The Miami Herald, the incident happened around 9:45 p.m., as patrons were watching the first half of the Miami Heat finals…
Tonight’s installment of Fontainebleau’s Cellar 1954 Series features one of the oldest family-run wineries in Napa, Chappelet Vineyards.

Red Robin is not only known for gourmet burger creations, but also their take on beer. Now they are adding canned beer cocktails. This isn’t the first time they’ve stepped beyond the beer comfort zone. Last October they introduced limited-time-only beer milkshakes in honor of Oktoberfest. See also: – Beer…
Healthy eating is taking over the world one Whole Foods at a time. Short Order’s very own Camille Lamb even traded her pen for an apron. While the rest of us aren’t that enthusiastic, we still love to be kept up to date of healthy happenings and partake in them,…
There’s always something happening in Wynwood. That’s part of the charm of the arts district. And at the heart of Wynwood lies Wynwood Kitchen & Bar, known for its indoor/outdoor murals and Latin fusion. Last month, Venezuelan chef Miguel Aguilar gave locals a “Taste of the Americas.” A culinary tour…
As the official “food-service provider” for the Miami Heat, chef Michael Jacobs is an integral part of the team because, as everyone knows, what an athlete eats before a game is as important as training. After all, there’ll be a big difference in performance if you stuff a player with…
Imagine you want to open a Chinese restaurant. The idea is to take standard, Americanized Chinese food; add a few epicurean ingredients like foie gras, pork belly (a Chinese favorite for centuries), and yuzu; and offer it all in a graffiti-covered, mostly take-away building that straddles Wynwood, Overtown, and the…
Miami’s food truck scene is alive and well and, apparently, a destination choice for hungry travelers, according to two prominent online food-and-travel sites. Jetsetter, an online travel magazine that also books custom upscale trips such as tiger safaris and tours of California’s wine country, has listed the seven top cities…
Father’s Day is this Sunday, and it’s an obligatory holiday. One exception: If you’re a fetus whose dad has dubbed himself “Yeezus,” you have our permission to ignore the holiday from now until forever. But for the rest of us, it’s time to start the mad scramble for a last-minute…
Your dad is the man who molded who you are. He taught you how to drive, slipped you an extra $20 on Friday and gave you a sip from his beer. (Shhh… don’t tell mom!) Dad is the guy who, after a long day, still managed to find a reserve…
It’s not often a man gets a day in his name. But today, we celebrate a man of booze and ink. Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins would’ve turned 102 years-old this year — and to commemorate his long, fruitful life, Brother Jimmy’s BBQ, Sandbar Grill and Blackbird Ordinary are celebrating with…
A breadery and grill with a sense of humor is set to open shop in South Miami when Buns & Buns arrives sometime late summer. The restaurant and bakery has been teasing us with pictures of buns (and buns) on Facebook and Twitter. Then we received a phone call from…
