Another day, another dollar, another night at the casino risking it all, another tomorrow being broke and eating ramen noodles and sardines, another reason to work harder, especially at making up these intros, which are sometimes just entertaining lies. Or are they? Here are some recent posts from other Miami…
A slight morsel from this week’s Cafe review of El Scorpion:Hearty appetites will be satisfied via the entree route, and at $17 to $20 the prices aren’t bad.

What we love about The Lost & Found Saloon’s interior is its quirk, charm and personality. With its cowboy inspired décor, it looks like something that could come out of a Western save the flat-screen TVs behind the bar showing surfing movies. The design is the work of the four…

The Cheesecake Factory19501 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura 305-792-9696 / thecheesecakefactory.comFor most of the everyday folk (myself included), The Cheesecake Factory is the kind of place only enjoyed on special occasions. For me, it was the spot for a graduation dinner, a monumental birthday, or a family gathering. It was not to…

It might seem off-the-wall to say that Kendall’s Off the Grille is an upscale, healthful fast-food eatery in a traffic-choked shopping mall. After all, everything costs less than $10. But if you’ve eaten at OTG (as the regulars like to call it), it doesn’t sound that far-fetched. This sleek little…
While we first reported that The Forge was reopening on March 29, that date has been pushed back two days to Wednesday night. The legendary eatery is relaunching with little fanfare and without a mega gala. Owner Shareef Malnik is trying to retool his party-crazy hot spot into a serious…
