Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
As a countdown to New Times‘ “Best of Miami” 2010, Short Order is serving up

95. Deep-Fried Frogs’ Legs at Coopertown Airboats in the Florida Everglades
The Everglades is a totally unique ecosystem the likes of which can be found only in one place on planet Earth: South Florida. While you’re down there seeing it for yourself — which you should do before it’s all cow shit, sugar dump, and condos — stop at Coopertown and get some certified Everglades-style frogs’ legs. They’re not necessarily gigging ’em in the area these days, but with the mercury levels in the Glades, who’d want them to?
