This quiet restaurant in the old Alligator Alley space is actually the second location of this Hollywood eatery (now reopened), popular for rotisserie chicken and comida Peruana. The space draws in Latin families who eat a wide range of Peruvian specialties, like fresh-made ceviche and papas à la huancaina, a…
To see more photos from Jimmy’s Bistro, click here. My date and I had resolved to eat light at Jimmy’s Bistro in downtown Delray Beach. We vowed to order just one appetizer and split it and to skip dessert. But choosing just one starter was proving harder than we thought…
New Times’ annual Pairings food and winetasting event is coming up fast. Going down September 16 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, the three-hour festival will showcase restaurants like 3030 Ocean, Taste Gastropub, Coco Asian Bistro, Chef Allen’s, Cafe Vico, and much more, along with all the appropriately…
Beastly, as in the Burger Beast.That’s because Sef Gonzalez, the Burger Beast himself, is behind the gathering of food trucks, carts, and stalls that will accompany the Adrienne Arsht Center’s daylong Fall for the Arts Festival. The free event will feature live music, arts and crafts, games, and workshops and…
The preseason excitement, the fantasy drafts, the fatty food; it could only mean one thing: Football seasoning is ramping up. All across South Florida, sports bars slinging wings and burgers, beers and shots will be prepping for their Sunday rituals. But finding a good sports bar isn’t just as easy…
I love it when food movements cross over and enter the realm of pop culture. Take bacon: Today, it’s almost universally recognized that bacon is something to be horded and consumed like a crack addict, cholesterol be damned. But behind that popcult push was genuine foodie enthusiasm. Would bacon be…

This week in Dish, we review Jimmy’s Bistro, a six-table eatery in downtown Delray Beach. In the year since it opened, chef/owner Jimmy Mills has earned a reputation for honest, homemade food with a nod to classic technique. His tiny restaurant fills up most night, with Mills cooking behind a…
I made a day trip down to the Keys this Saturday to enjoy the weather and trek around the Marathon area (before it turned into the two-day shit storm we’ve been experiencing). When I was down there, I made a stop at one of my favorite places in Marathon: Keys…
Welcome back to Where Are We Eating? In case you missed it, each Monday we’ve been giving away free tickets to Pairings, our annual food and wine tasting event. Four lucky readers have already walked away with a pair of passes. We’ve got two more pairs to give away until…
The first thing you notice is the onion strips, a golden-fried nest of them cascading off the top of the burger. Below that, a wedge of Brie, creamy white and slightly runny, crowning an inch-thick patty. The char-grilled, all Angus burger is itself cooked medium, but still gushes enough blood…

I have to admit, I’m completely over “Best” lists. The raging — sometimes infuriating — argument over who makes the best burger, tacos, pizza, French fries, or fried bologna sandwiches is a hopelessly futile one to me. Why? Everyone has a different opinion — none of which, quite frankly, is…
This Summer has been crazy. It’s either so rainy that the streets look like giant Slip and Slides, or so hot out that even your sweat is sweating. I guess, if anything, that translates into good boozing weather. When you’re stuck inside by the elements, the least you can do…
This week, we wrote about the Falcon House’s recent transformation into the Triple Eight Lounge and how its happy hour delivers on all the right munchy, boozy, homey fronts. You really don’t need any more incentive than the promise of fish tacos and spicy five-cheese fondue to want to hop…
Unrepentant beer drinkers, rejoice! Each week, Clean Plate Charlie will select one craft or import beer and give you the lowdown on it: How does it taste? What should you drink it with? Where can you find it? But mostly, it’s all about the love of the brew. If you…
My heaviest of bar-going days took place when I was a server for a notorious Italian chain restaurant. After our shifts, the other servers and I would drag our pasta-sauce-speckled selves to whatever seedy dive offered us the most liquor for our crumpled dollar bills. Even so, on most nights,…
It’s a busy weekend night at World of Beer in Coconut Creek. By 9 p.m., the bar area has turned into a dense sea of bodies that spill out of the front door and into the Promenade sidewalk. Every last table is spoken for, and there’s almost no room to…
It’s not often you get to sample food from chefs like Oliver Saucy, Carlos Fernandez, Andy Trousdale, and Allen Susser all in one place. But tonight, at the Boys of Summer food event in Pompano Beach, you can do just that and donate to charity all at once. Tickets are…
We’ve updated the thread this week with some menu images, external links and reviews, and new trucks. Check it out. There’s nothing as tasty as nabbing a taco from a converted laundry truck at 2 in the morning, splashing it with fiery-red salsa, and popping the whole thing in your mouth…
