Baking is great and all, but we’re not all cut out for the exact science that it requires. Some of us were born to eat. So Short Order is here to tell you how to get 25 cupcakes in a flavor that only you’d dream up, without lifting a finger…
Where the Chefs Eat is a series in which we ask Miami chefs to list their favorite local restaurants. In this installment, we spoke to Dena Marino — chef of MC Kitchen in the Design District — about her preferred Magic City spots. Dena Marino likes fancy eats. Which makes…
This is a food blog. So most of our pieces are about, well, food. Call it masticating, noshing, feasting or just plain eating — it’s pretty much our everything. So why would one of us willingly forgo food for 48 hours? Anything for your sake, beloved readers. Juice cleansing is…
Salumeria 104 is now offering brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The Italian restaurant (New Times’ Best Sausage and Best Inexpensive Italian) is known for offering authentic Mediterranean cuisine, so chef Angelo had to get a little creative when coming up with the brunch menu…
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…
Elsie Chin flips a pancake over a hot griddle and delivers the thin bread to a woman sitting at the counter. “There are no forks here,” Chin says with a toothy grin. “So if you been scratching somewhere, you better go wash your hands.” At L.C. Roti Shop, a teeny…
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…

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…

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 –…
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…

What you need is a game plan. Miami New Times’ Iron Fork starts at 6 p.m. tonight, launching four hours of eating and drinking from the stations of over 45 restaurants. So here’s a guide to your feast, featuring each dish that will be served…
July is usually a slow month in Miami. Overly warm days make us feel torpid, wanting only to wait in a humidity-induced semi-coma for August to bring Miami Spice and the relief of dining frugally in air-conditioned restaurants. But, this summer’s seen an incredible amount of activity, with many restaurants…
Iron Fork and the official kick-off for Miami Spice, presented by the Downtown Development Authority, is this evening at the Adrienne Arsht Center and it promises to be the event of the summer. There’s something for everyone at Iron Fork…
