Don’t let its proximity to the Design District fool you — Seven Seas Restaurant & Fish Market is all about the food. More specific, this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it gem in Little Haiti features inexpensive and expertly prepared Dominican and American dishes. Owner Nicholas Paulino and his wife, Ana, are originally from San…
Bathroom talk is usually off-limits during meals, but at Loba, a 3-month-old restaurant in MiMo, the lavatory is a conversation piece. That’s because apart from the complimentary dental floss (greatly appreciated), the wallpaper is composed of pages torn from the classic children’s book Where the Wild Things Are. It’s no…
Pan con lech�n has a natural progression. What else is one to do with heaps of juicy, fatty pork leftover from a Sunday roast other than tuck it between two pieces of bread with shards of sticky skin and sweet onions?…
Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke says Miami’s state attorney has fooled African-Americans in the city. On Memorial Day 2011, cops from Miami Beach…
With Seed Food & Wine Festival’s inaugural run all wrapped up, it’s clear that Miami’s plant-based culinary community was bigger, stronger, and way more dedicated than anyone probably imagined. Myself included. With five full days of plant-based soirees, celebrity hosts, chef dinners, and vegan vendors, this was no ordinary veg…
Yesterday marked the beginning of stone crab season and the start of the business year for Joe’s Stone Crab, which opened its doors at 5 p.m ., serving the first batch of claws to Miamians eager to get their hands on them (or with reservations we presume). If you happened…

There are very few people in the world who will pick you up and take both you and your singer, who live 25 miles apart, to an airport 45 miles away before the crack of dawn. Thankfully, my parents, both notorious early risers, are down for the cause. It doesn’t…

Lists are a big deal. Hate them or love them, they’re successful enough that corporate overlords at media companies of all stripes have handed down firm marching orders calling for lists with haste, creativity, and military-like regularity. But when the vaunted Michelin Guide for New York City — one of…

Miami today is replete with truffle oil fries, Brussels sprouts studded with pork bits, and fried-egg-crowned burgers. From the beach to the suburbs, from north to south, scores of restaurants all serve the same predictably heavy fare under the gastropub banner. The concept was borne of England’s pub culture. Chefs…
Many people are shocked and disgusted by the alleged abuse Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson inflicted on his 4-year-old son. He’s been indicted in Montgomery, Texas, for reckless and negligent injury to a child because he whupped his son’s backside with a switch, leaving the boy with open wounds and…
PLUR Warrior Can’t handle the beads: Everything about the article about Lady Casa and her move to bring “peace, love, unity, and respect” to EDM (“Kandi Kulture,” Ben Westhoff, September 18) shows why our culture will never be taken seriously as a youth movement. Or maybe I’m just bitter because…

Wrestling to the Top That junk is fake: Local wrestler Ernest Valdes’ dreams of getting to the top of the WWE are understandable (“Contender,” Allie Conti, September 11), but I don’t understand how so many people can still tune in to watch pro wrestling. It’s a competition between grown-ass men…
It should surprise no one that the domestic-violence case of Baltimore Ravens’ star running back Ray Rice blew up in the NFL’s face. Professional sports leagues operate in an alternate reality where misdeeds go unpunished until video or audio evidence surfaces. League Commissioner Roger Goodell and Ravens President Dick Cass…
After football practice at Overtown’s Williams Park each day, 13-year-old wide receiver Gerald Johnson walks off the grassy field with sweat sluicing down his forehead. “Bye, Fat Albert,” his buddies call.

Things aren’t what they seem at Basil Park, the airy 4-month-old bistro in Sunny Isles Beach. A dollop of sour cream atop some tacos has no dairy. It’s made from cashews soaked overnight in water, pur�ed with yeast and live bacteria, and then fermented for 12 hours to create a…
