In real life, at least according to wikipedia, Cinco De Mayo “commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.” In America it usually means tacos and tequila shots, and tourist versions of mariachi hats.The Cinco De Mayo festivities at Jaguar,…

Cinco de Mayo, like Independence Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, St. Patrick’s Day — heck, like most of our holidays — means little to Americans other than an excuse to congregate in large groups and get shit-faced on booze. Sad, really, but I’ll leave that as fodder for social scientists…
May is officially National Hamburger Month, official in the sense that it was enacted as a vast marketing scheme by either White Castle or Krystal depending on whom you ask. We here at Short Order support fast food America, capitalism, and fake holidays, but let’s face it, corporate chain burgers…

Sometimes I sit around for hours on end scooping sardines out the can with sour cream and onion pork rinds and drinking one tall can after the next of Arizona fruit punch. That’s my reality. It’s refreshing to see what other bloggers are up to. Some of the following posts…
This post is dedicated to the time I got arrested on Mother’s Day when I was 15. Do not — I repeat — do not, get high with your friends on the roof of a parking garage in Coral Gables and throw rocks at the Metrobus, even if it’s parked…
In a response to our blog about the up-and-coming MIA venue in downtown Miami, Eddie writes that he will miss another downtown spot, Prime Blue Grille — which reminds me of a an old country music song, How Can I Miss You When I Don’t Know You’re Gone?According to Daily…
Attention flask fanatics and supporters of small, brown, you-don’t-need-to-know-my-business paper bags; there’s a new BYOB in MIA. The Wynwood Social Club (2501 N.W. 2nd Ave., Miami, across the street from Joey’s) doesn’t serve the sauce but delves out mixers that range from tonic, sparkling water, soda, and Snapples for free…
