We celebrate our post-Easter holiday around here with a ritual: our annual Peeps Stations of the Cross, Peeps Crucifixion, and Peeps Heresy Trials. What is it about those little yellow, blue, pink, and purple marshmallow chickies that makes you wanna do nasty things to them? Why are there always so…
The Thai new year, called Songkran, is celebrated today, April 13, through this Wednesday. The word means “move” or to “change place,” in regard to the sun’s changing its position in the zodiac. Songkran doesn’t boast any B-list celebrities reporting on a big ball dropping down a pole, but the…
OK, let’s get this out of the way first: Froots is a chain smoothie shop, not a locally based family owned restaurant. The good news is Froots is easy to find, inexpensive, and will even deliver (in case you feel like eating healthy without leaving your couch for more than…
Later this month, the first U.S. outpost of Paris’ popular Caviar Kaspia will open at the Webster in Miami Beach. The original Kaspia was established in 1927 and over the decades has become an institution in Parisian society. The Webster branch promises to have “the same menu as its Paris…
because it’s funny…From Uriel 1998’s FlickrEaster Sunday’s almost here and you know what that means. Egg hunts, omelets, brunches, churches, dinners, family and giant rabbits. Yoda, not so much, but he’d be welcome at Jesus’ table anytime, even if…

It may seem counterintuitive to dine on six-hour osso buco and goat milk ice cream so that the hungry of Darfur might eat, but Slow Food Miami and the Sagamore Art Hotel in South Beach are inviting you to do just that Wednesday, April 29. The new Whitehall Restaurant at…

On a recent, unseasonably cool afternoon, I drifted away into one of those vivid naptime dreams, the ones where you wake up and think for a second that what you just went through was real. There was a knocking, no, a pounding at the door, as if Grendel were on…
Hell’s Kitchen is heating up and three of the six chefs left are Florida based. We spoke to Paula, Danny and Gio back when the first episode was set to drop, so being that all three are still in the running we decided to get up with them and see…
Sometimes, pictures say it all, and these pictures of Paciugo Italian Gelato Cafe do just that. Paciugo is a family owned chain, based in Dallas Texas, who offer more than 200 flavors of whole milk based gelato…
Chef Allen is a good Jew, the type of dude who throws a gourmet Seder for 15 years and invites everybody to try his kitchen’s New World takes on, this year, Sephardic and Ashkenazi classics. I recently spoke to Chef Allen by phone. He spoke about matzah, bitter herbs, and…
I’d heard it anecdotally, but now it’s officially confirmed: A new study says that female primates will get down and dirty in exchange for meat. And not just one measly piece of meat either. Ladyapes prefer chimp dudes that share meat with them often: What we’re looking at here is…
In my beer travels, I’ve come across two types of beer drinkers. The first want a smooth, easy-going beer – something that they can drink without pushing their palate too much or leaving much of a flavor in their mouths. The later want a beer that’s going to kick their…

Florida Trend reports that a study compiled by NPD Group, which analyzes American foodservice trends, found…
The final two outdoor, organic, paradisiacal dinners of 2009 take place this month. The groovy gastronomic get-togethers down at Gabriele Marewski’s Paradise Farms always bring great food and wine (from Stacole Fine Wines). Fellow diners tend to be in amiable, festive spirits, and the setting is simply unbeatable.This Sunday evening,…
I invited Vinnie Sabellico to dinner at Prime Italian partly out of curiosity: How would an old-school New Yorker raised in Little Italy react to hoity-toity presentations of what he calls the “peasant food” of his youth? Vinnie, who worked as a butcher for 15 years, regaled me with a…

Here’s where Italy meets Philly meets the tropics: at Caffe Luna Rosa in Delray Beach you’ll dine on homemade breads, handmade pasta, and veal chop Milanese at outdoor tables just a hop from the beach. Somehow that salt air is all the seasoning chef Ernesto di Blasi’s Northern Italian specialties…
