Thanks, Gawker, again for tipping us off to an incredible Internet phenomenon, this time a dance craze from Brazil known as “surra de bunda,” translated roughly as “ass punch,” “punched by the ass,” or, well, you get the picture. Like all good dance crazes, it was born out of a…
Whenever Kat Stacks releases a new video, it’s like day-job Christmas. Last week we brought you up to date on the latest in the Internet-famous hip-hop escort’s saga, in which she was attacked in public by two men who tried to force an apology from her on Bow Wow’s behalf…
A recent article on the website of Marketplace, the National Public Radio juggernaut, has the internet buzzing about whether food bloggers are annoying or helpful. As a food blogger, I’d like to weigh in on the debate. Let me preface this by saying that although I’ve been writing about food…
Have you ever taken a close look at how much you spend on food? For some of us, coming face-to-face with that figure may be quite scary. But according to personal finance site, Bundle.com, the average household in Miami spent $6,219 on dining out and groceries in 2009 – less…
Short Order dined at Argentine staple Las Vacas Gordas on Normandy isle last night. While many people complain about the service (rightly so, we never received our appetizers and our waiter tried to hide the fact that the gratuity was included), there is one element that receives universal praise at…

Yesterday, we alerted you to David Guetta’s newest track “Gettin’ Over You,” featuring Fergie, Chris Willis, and LMFAO. It sounds like every other track Guetta has produced in the last three years — but taken to a much scarier, getting-raped-in-a-dark-alley kind of level. We dubbed it the “dance music apocalypse,”…
Alright, so at the beginning, Crossfade didn’t have anything particular against David Guetta. We admired his particular brand of Gallic panache, and his unabashed goal in taking dance music back into the pop realm. We drunkenly got excited about “Love is Gone” more times than we would now care to…

Through the early years of my career in professional kitchens, I wore ankle-high, steel-toed, Velcro-strapped, taupe-colored leather chef shoes made by the esteemed French chefwear company Bragard.

Let’s say the Democratic Party is a corned beef sandwich, and the Republican Party is a pastrami sandwich (if you’re a Democrat who prefers pastrami, or a Republican who prefers corned beef, feel free to switch around the meat metaphor). And let’s say both are very tasty sandwiches, but there…
At this point, we are all aware that eating organic produce, meats, and dairy products are better for us. Whether you choose to pay the extra money for these goods is another story. If you live an organic lifestyle, you might be surprised to learn that several so-called eco-groceries are…
