Everyone has done a pub crawl; if you haven’t, you’re boring. Most people have managed to eat their way through a prix fixe meal; if not, you’re probably a philistine. Most individuals, however, have not managed to do both at the same time; if you have, it’s time to pat…
Pistache French Bistro is offering skint, would-be travelers a slightly cheaper option this summer with its ‘Tour du Monde’ events. The ‘tour’ will take guests through a variety of cuisines and national traditions. ‘Tour du Monde’ guests will receive a passport to collect stamps at each event. Since membership has…
There are people who drink wine, people who like wine, and people who freaking love it — all of whom enjoy getting drunk. While you may not be able to taste the difference between the notes of boxed wine and a bottle of the most expensive Bordeaux, sommeliers can, and…
Roast chicken is pretty high up there in popularity charts. It makes sense: with proper technique, it’s fairly easy to make; it’s healthy; satiating; and chicken is relatively inexpensive. While it’s one of the few dishes that is common in most American’s cooking repertoire, serving it can be one heck…
South Florida is full of transplants. There are so many northern migrants that it’s almost a shock to find out someone was actually born here. It’s not surprising, really. Mild winters, awesome sunshine, and a relatively laid-back vibe make it hard to leave, whether you’re one of the ten or…
In the restaurant industry there are thousands of restaurant groups run by all manner of companies. Obviously, some are more prestigious than others. We’re not exactly going to make an announcement when a new kitchen manager takes over the burners at Applebee’s. One of Daniel Boulud’s restaurants: that’s another thing…
These days it’s fairly common for a restaurant or bar to have a signature. In Broward and Palm Beach counties, we have craft beer bars galore, wine bars like you wouldn’t imagine, bourbon- and whiskey-centric concepts, and tequila-focused bar programs. The one spirit that seems to have been overlooked recently…
We have the most amazing winters, ever. We have beautiful beaches. We have around 250 days of sun per year. Overall, living in South Florida has a ton of perks, but one of the most exciting aspects of living in the subtropics is mango season. Unless, of course, you’re allergic…
Competitive eating is always a messy sport in one way or another. Whether it’s mustard and crumbs from hot dogs, gooey pie, greasy hamburgers, or vomit after the fact; stuffing ones face with pounds upon pounds of food is certainly not going to be pretty. As part of the PGA…
It might be Monday, but it’s also the first day back to school, so enjoy a schadenfreude as the kiddies drag themselves out of bed for the first time in months. The weekend may be over, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop — it’s not like you…
In South Florida, vodka tends to be the spirit of choice. With the lifestyle and weather down here, it totally makes sense: it’s light and refreshing, low in calories, mixes well with anything, and it doesn’t have much depth. Not to mention, martinis are just fun — and oh, so…
It’s officially: summer is almost over — unfortunately, the start of the school year for some has absolutely no effect on the humid weather. Whether you have kids, teach, or just deal with the little ones running around the neighborhood, this is the beginning of the end; the school year…
Many bar and restaurant industry veterans in South Florida hail from far off cold Northern climes in search of warmer, easier living and the chance to make a comfortable — and rather fun — living. Although, we do have a few homegrown heros in Broward and Palm Beach. Bogart’s Bar…
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to prepare a bird. Roasted, poached, steamed, grilled, curried: the combinations of flavors and methods could fill an encyclopedia. And we bet you’ve had your fill. Chicken in a pig’s bladder, however, has probably not been on the menu. While it might…
The last farm bill was an epic disaster. Huge spending cuts to food stamp programs, no cuts to agricultural subsidies, and an amendment which would have superseded states rights to enact their own agricultural laws were all on the ballot. Sponsored by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, the King Amendment could…

Dates can cause all sorts of anxiety. It’s easy for the voices in your head to spiral out of control. “Is the conversation going to be interesting? What if we like each other? What if we hate each other? What am I going to wear?” Although we can’t help you…
Florida’s craft beer market is growing exponentially. Michigan brewery Founders is finally getting in on the action. On Wednesday, August 21, at 7 p.m., Tap 42 is hosting a tap takeover to celebrate the launch. The bar will have six Founders brews on draft. Tap 42 is located at 1411…
Throughout history, many great men have offered profound words of wisdom. Ron Burgundy is one of those men. “The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show and see if she likes the goods,” he said. Follow his advice this weekend…
Like most career fields, street art tends to be dominated by guys. There’s no hiding that we live in a male-dominated world. But this Saturday from 7 to 10 p.m., things will be different. To celebrate its tenth public mural and the first year of its public art program, the…
