A small bite from next week’s Cafe review:If traditional old steakhouses share attributes with traditional old red wines (dark and heavy, with strong notes of leather, oak, and tobacco), STK is like a spritzer: cool and bubbly, a frivolous sip not to be taken seriously. In fact, with a DJ…

Chinese food lovers rejoice! Yeung’s Chinese has reopened in its original location on 41st Street (across the way from KFC).

What possessed my date to recommend we dine at La Vie en Raw is totally beyond me. After all, he would eat cheeseburgers and fries three times a day if he could, so why did he want to gnaw on veggies at a raw food restaurant? The thought of a…

It’s pretty obvious that Mooie’s was created with children in mind. Outside the Miami Shores ice creamery, buckets of chalk allow the artistically inclined express themselves on the sidewalk. Small stools in front of the counter let little ones peer into the ice cream cooler. In the backyard, beanbags and…

A sweet little nibble from this week’s Cafe review:Sugarcane’s success all but screams at diners as they enter the voluminous space. It isn’t just that the room is packed to the gills and very loud  (although this does always seem to be the case), but it exudes the big city…

Alright, so earlier this week we showed you the Pork Parfait, but that’s really just meat and potatoes in a cup. When it comes to culinary advancement in the genre of “fair food” the over the top double Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburger is a great innovation.You can find the donut…

Just look for the robot pig singing country music and you’ll find Porky’s, the traveling carnival-grub vendor currently in Miami at the Dade County Fair & Expo. The Indiana company’s claim to fame is its ice-cream-sundae style concoction of pulled pork, mashed potatoes, and barbecue sauce served in a big…

The loud and lively Taverna Opa opened its third outpost last week, the latest venue being the Dolphin Mall. As with the original, which opened in Hollywood, Florida, in September  1997, and with Taverna two in South Beach, the draw is solid Greek food (including this nice looking salad) and…
