Sure, it’s odoriferous, but garlic is one of the best culinary discoveries known to man. It adds layers of flavor to every type of food, almost everywhere in the world, and the bulbous plant is known for a multitude of health benefits: antioxidants, respiratory and circulatory benefits, anti-inflammatory properties, food…
Zombies are all over the place these days and they don’t seem to be going anywhere. From Walking Dead to zombie runs to the face-eating bath salts guy a couple years back, the undead are popping up all over the place — some studies say the obsession is a cultural…
Are you ready for 4/20? What about some green tea? Even if you don’t care about any of the myriad celebratory offerings this weekend, you’re going to have to eat something. We perused the highs and lows of the Broward-Palm Beach area and cooked up this tasty menu of awesome…
Buffets tend to be the butt of many a foodie joke. Sure, it’s mass-produced food that in many cases is sitting out for hours on end, but there are times when you just need piles and piles of food, all at once. It’s called being stoned. Look, all legal issues…
It’s important to love what you do for a living — think about how many hours of your waking life you spend working (a lot, most likely). Whether it’s tech, education, journalism, or the restaurant industry, it’s actually a good thing to be considered a geek. When it comes to…
We’re all about specials around here — if you haven’t noticed, we dine out often. So, when a holiday comes around and local restaurants roll out the deals, we’re all about it. Easter Sunday is coming up at the start of next week and many eateries are offering different dishes…
These days, you can’t even turn on the TV without hearing about the benefits of walking and exercise. Sure, the American population is massively overweight and out-of-shape, but most of us are freaking busy. Most of us can barely find time to eat a meal, much less take a leisurely…
Do you remember your mom screaming at you to get out of the dirt? At the time, you thought she was being lame, but since you’ve grown older, you’ve realized that getting dirty is a bit of a pain. Sure, it’s freeing and somewhat relieving; however, someone has got to…
Put on your Easter bonnet — make sure there’s plenty of frills upon it. It’s time for Easter parades and egg hunts and pictures with the Easter Bunny and, yes, even church. Then, after all that — for us foodies anyway, for whom gustation is basically religion — there’s the…
We have a lot — perhaps an excess, really — of National _______ Days in this country. If it isn’t National Talk Like a Pirate Day, it’s National Appreciate Your Furniture Day or some other such thing. (OK, we kind of love the former. Arrgh!) Most people roll their eyes…
Spring has technically been here for weeks already, but it’s not official until Easter comes around. The time to pull out those pastels, ribbons, and bows is just around the corner, which means you’ll need somewhere to go when you’re dressed for the day. Whether you’re looking to get in…
While we’re big fans of noshing on multiple dishes from several food trucks — even if it results in a serious case of the meat sweats — many a food truck roundup is just about stuffing your face; there’s rarely a higher purpose. Tomorrow night, downtown West Palm Beach is…
One might be under the impression that the Easter Bunny and all his candy are for the kiddies. One would be wrong. From Peeps to jelly beans to whatever other cavity-inducing sweets you find in those eggs, entire generations of Americans have been conditioned since childhood to love that stuff…
Delivery tends to be bland and wasteful. Sure, there are some spots that will bring flavorful fare, but the good ones are few and far between. And the carbon footprint is a whole issue of its own. One Sun Emporium resolves all of the above. Owner James Newman makes bold…
While it is supposed to be about the resurrection of Jesus, these days Easter is about spending time with friends and family, for most of us anyway. It’s about long drawn out boozy brunches while watching the little ones run around searching for Easter eggs — hey, it keeps ’em…
Weekdays are the worst, unless you live in South Florida, where we refuse to let a moment go by without cramming it full of entertainment. Whether you’re looking to relax and recover from the weekend or would prefer to fill your weekday evening with distracting goings-on, there’s something for you…
When it comes to dining out, we can be kind of picky. Yes, we’re always willing to give things a go — even if it sounds crazy as hell. Chicken feet; why not? But it’s not often that we find a place we absolutely love. On those rare occasions it…
Congratulations, you made it through yet another working week. You might as well give yourself a pat on the back to celebrate — or better yet, a drink or three. Whether you’re hoping to score deals on drinks, looking to help homeless dogs while getting drunk, or longing to hang…
If you haven’t noticed the recent random hot and humid days, spring is in the air — soon enough it’ll be raining everyday. That’s right, while the rest of the country is defrosting, we’re about to head into full-on oven mode. Bad hair aside, it’s not going to be pretty…
Put on your Easter bonnet – make sure there’s plenty of frills upon it. It’s time for Easter parades and egg hunts and pictures with the Easter bunny and, yes, even church. Then, after all that, there’s – for us foodies anyway, for whom gustation is basically religion – there’s…
There’s something about the tiki bar that just screams relaxation. It could be the tropical music that serenades the scene; hey, it might be the scantily clad gyrating dancers in grass skirts; or maybe it’s just the ornately decorated drinks. Whatever the reason may be, to us, Polynesian culture represents…
Most of us spend the entire workweek cooped up at our desks, staring at spreadsheets, typing, or transfixed by videos of cats all day. It’s important to step away from the computer screen and surround yourself with other human beings at the end of the week. If you like cute…
