This is one in a series of shameless plugs for New Times’ Pairings event this Thursday, but luckily this shameless plug includes alcohol. Namely it’s the Casa Lapostolle’s 2006 merlot, one of the wines that will be paired with food from about 30 restaurants at the event and one of…

Tommy Femia never figured he’d spend his career doing Judy Garland. It started back in 1991, when a friend asked him if he’d impersonate Garland in a cabaret show. “It pretty much began on a dare,” says Femia. But there was something about Garland that Femia just picked up naturally…

If you watched the above video of Boyton Beach cops telling Dalia Dippolito that her husband had been killed, then you might pick up on a line that sounds a bit racially insensitive.If you haven’t followed the news, Dippolito allegedly hired a hitman to kill her husband. The hitman was…
Even before I went on Saturday for lunch, there was little doubt that I’d hate Seasons 52, even though New Times named it Best Chain Restaurant in 2005. I mean, the place is run by the fine folks who brought you Red Lobster and, for Christ’s sake, Olive Garden. Then…

No doubt the web has largely become a collection of sites designed to help you waste time at work, and one of the best out there is Thereifixedit.com. It’s a collection of stuff fixed (poorly) by people who shouldn’t be fixing stuff. It was hard not to think of the…

It’s not uncommon at a steak place to have side items that blow away the rest of the meal. If you’ve had Capital Grille’s truffle mac and cheese, you probably also considered bringing home the porterhouse in a doggy bag. But I had that same experience at Truluck’s recently. During…
In yesterday’s episode of The Next Food Network Star, the show played a trick on its unsuspecting contestants. The network brought four finalists to WSFL to tape segments with South Florida.com Live anchor Dave Aizer, who then punked them by doing stuff like removing all the utensils from the kitchen…
When Ira Goldstein found out his house in Delray Beach was made with defective Chinese drywall, he did the first thing most people would do: He called the home’s builder. And unlike most of those calls, this builder actually offered to help Goldstein.But his builder, Centerline Homes, did nothing short…
Here in South Florida, we’ve accepted the idea that good food can be found in a strip mall. People wait three hours for meatballs at Café Martorano, stand in line at Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor, and eat some of the best rolls around at Sushi Jo — all in shopping…

The server was explaining this and that about the dessert tray at Truluck’s in Fort Lauderdale when I made some comment about how perfect they all looked. “They’re not real,” he said. Then he slapped the chocolate cake. It made a sound like smacking a basketball. I swear, I had…
There are lots of stories about people living in homes with Chinese drywall and being unsure who to blame. The developers blame the suppliers, who blame the Chinese manufacturers who built the defective wall board. But Christine Miller, she knows exactly who the bad guy is. It’s her landlord: State…
