Are you ready for happy hour? What about some seafood celebrations? 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 Borward-Palm Beach area and cooked up this tasty menu of…
During the Chinese Diaspora (starting in the 19th century and lasting until 1949), Chinese people traveled across the world, bring with them their culture and flavorful fare. Throughout its travels, the cuisine adapted to several variations and forms. Different versions of traditional versions can be found all over the globe,…
There is no time of day that excites us the way happy hour does. It not only involves cheap drinks and inexpensive eats, but it washes away the pain of the workday. Numerous options for after work intoxication abound luckily; however, you can never have enough of a good thing…
South Floridians love their festivals. From Renaissance fairs to garlic-centric events to beer-guzzling drunk fests, we’re all about finding a reason to celebrate something (anything) outdoors. And if there are two things we tend to like the most, it’s seafood and art. While we generally stick to one commemoration at…
Set in a suburban shopping center in Sunrise, Bash American Bistro looks just like any other café from the outside. But behind the beige exterior lies an eclectic, cheerful atmosphere. A chalkboard wall with draft beer specials spelled out in bright colors highlights the bar, and decorative beer taps sit…
Sure, you like craft beer. Maybe you even like it a lot. Maybe you like it so much, you can detect the differences among Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout, Rogue’s Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout, and Founders Oatmeal Stout just from a whiff of the nose. If the latter sounds like you, chances…
Let’s be honest here: Scotch is an intimidating drink. Like a Grand Cru Bordeaux, it elicits images of upper-crust socialites dressed to the nines, sipping ridiculously expensive beverages out of snifters in front of a fireplace framed by elegant Afghan hounds. Or, at least, distinguished gentlemen like Ron Burgundy. Point…

The western suburbs of Broward and Palm Beach Counties tend to be known more for a profusion of chain restaurants rather than a trendy dining scene. It’s the cities and towns east of I-95 that get all the cred in the food scene. That notion might start changing, however, as…
The terrible twos are known to be the worst when it comes to humans. Who among us hasn’t been forced to listen to a two-year-old’s tantrum about dropping a doughnut or some other seemingly life or death toddler catastrophe? It’s the worst. When it comes to upscale grocery chains, however,…
We’re impressed by anyone who has the guts to open a restaurant of his own — in case you didn’t know, the business is tough as hell. We’re even more impressed when said restaurateur is young. When one is 35 with three locations under one’s belt, we’re ready to give…
Around and around we go; today is the start to yet another lovely workweek. Hopefully, you have a bit of a spring in your step from some indulgent weekend activities. If not, don’t fret, there’s still plenty of events to keep you busy through your working days. Whether you’re looking…
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 are looking to drink craft beer around town, like the idea of taking in some historical knowledge, or…
Juicing is kind of a big deal these days. What was once a tenet of a wellness lifestyle on the fringe of eating and drinking society, is now popping up all over the place. And it’s not just the booming yoga scene that is consuming the brightly colored liquids, regular…
Pasta has to be one of the greatest pleasures in life. Yes, it’s filled with gluten, that diabolical substance that has become a major no-no in many individuals’ diets. And yeah, it’s not exactly the healthiest food choice. But comfort has to count for something in life, and few things…
It may have taken awhile to jump onboard, but the South Florida craft beer scene is booming these days. That’s in no small part due to the big beer events at Fort Lauderdale brew haven Tap 42. And the mastermind behind it all has been the bar’s creative director and…
While we’re not ones to condone cults — if we’re going to lose our lives to a food item, it certainly wouldn’t be Kool-Aid — we are into weird and off the wall things, especially if it has something to do with food. Deerfield Beach’s Oceans 234 is about to…
You probably don’t give much thought to where your food comes from; it’s neatly packaged, plastic-wrapped, and readily available on a shelf in Publix. Who cares, right? Well, some of us are a bit more curious; some of us want to know how it got to this point of convenience…
We all know it’s dangerous to drink and drive. But South Florida is spread out, with an utter lack of public transportation — you need to get in some sort of vehicle to drink your way around town, especially if you’re looking to stick to craft brews. Fortunately, though, South…
The clean and modern décor of the Atlantic Surf Club is a stark contrast to the dark sports-bar-type aesthetics of the majority of Beach Place. With varying shades of soft blues, pops of orange, warm woods, stainless-steel accents, and sea-glass-inspired light fixtures, the ambiance incorporates contemporary dining concepts for an…
Popping bubbly and eating oysters on the deck of a yacht is pure luxury — not that we’d actually know from experience. But, let’s be honest, few things scream opulence like bivalves and boat shows. Whether you’re shopping for a new motor yacht, looking to pick up a yacht owner,…
South Florida certainly has no dearth of sushi options. From high-end spots on Las Olas to tiny takeout, there seems to be a place serving up the Japanese cuisine on every block. Downtown Fort Lauderdale is, for some reason, the lone exception to that rule. The walkable district has plenty…
