Salmon and Cream Cheese with BluGlacier at Dasher & Crank
Just in time for National Ice Cream Month, Dasher & Crank has launched what might be its most striking ice cream flavor to date: salmon and cream cheese. Made with BluGlacier’s smoked Chilean salmon, the fish is poached in a cream-cheese ice cream base. The flavor is comparable to a lox bagel. Priced at $5 per cup, the flavor will be available through the end of August (or until it's all gone). Through August at Dasher & Crank, 2211 NW Second Ave., Miami; 305-640-8579; instagram.com/dasherandcrank.Eating House Launches Delivery-Only Virtual Restaurants
Chef/owner Giorgio Rapicavoli has launched two new virtual restaurant concepts, both based at Eating House's kitchen in Coral Gables. The delivery-only concepts offer specialty burgers and fried chicken, exclusively via Postmates. Bud’s Burgers brings a dozen cleverly named menu items, including the "Shake Your Honey Maker," topped with white cheddar, candied bacon, honey barbecue sauce, and crispy onions; the "Bohemian Radishy," garnished with cucumbers, pickled carrots, hoisin sauce, radishes, cabbage slaw, and cilantro; and the "Bruschetta Bout It," with burrata, tomato sauce, garlic butter, basil, and balsamic glaze. Sides include seasoned fries, seasoned tater tots, and black truffle loaded fries. The other concept, "Clucked Up!" offers a variety of dry-rub buttermilk or Nashville fried chicken dishes, including wings, sandwiches, chicken and waffles, and two family-style options that feed four people.

Ready your shot glass, lime, and salt: July 24 is National Tequila Day. We South Floridians love our tequila, whether it comes in a salt-rimmed margarita or a hearty shooter. But as bars remain shuttered, many will observe the agave-fueled holiday at home, socially distanced from our fellow tequila enthusiasts. But do not fret, friends, many local restaurants and bars are offering cocktails to-go to help us toast the gods of tequila. From spicy margs festooned with TajÃn to a zesty chai-infused tequila blend, here are Miami's top to-go cocktails to celebrate National Tequila Day.
