Photo via Flickr The future home of Maison d’Azur? Last month, we reported the sudden closing of Maison d’Azur at the Angler Resort on South Beach. Some comments were left saying Maison d’Azur isn’t closing but instead moving to the Sagamore. Is the rumor true? Well, yes and no. The…
Feeling the beat with Ronin Taiko A few years ago the Cornell Cafe at the Morikami Museum & Japanese Garden got a big boost when the Food Network declared it one of the three best museum eateries in the country. So I went, and lemme tell you: The award does…
Simon Hare We were more than surprised when Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink (130 NE 40th Street, Miami; 305-573-5550), located in Miami’s Design District, was noticeably absent from the Miami Spice participating restaurants list. We wondered if all the accolades, including a mention in the New York Times’ “Coast to…
Naturally, we here at Short Order are consummate foodies; lovers of both the most nuanced of dishes and the homiest of comfort foods. Yet, for some reason, that foodie categorization can be tricky. For some, being a foodie is a contest — a pissing match where your stream is lengthened…
Just a reminder that Flavor Palm Beach begins today, with one or two new additions since last we looked. The deal is a choice of three appetizers, three entrees, and three desserts at $20 for lunch and $30 for dinner. Flavor menues are available on the site. There are two…
Julie Thomson Halo Lounge on Lincoln Road. Perhaps you didn’t notice, but last Friday Booze Hound was M.I.A. — or more specifically, was in MIA, checking a $15 bag (damn you, American Airlines!), getting bumped up to first class (thank you, American Airlines!), receiving a 6 a.m. buzz courtesy of…
Jose D. Duran Soyka’s grilled petit filet mignon au jus. I must admit that I’ve gone to Soyka countless times before, never considering it too expensive that a Miami Spice prix fixe menu is needed. But my friends decided to have dinner there Wednesday night and I took it as…
“Hmmm, I seem to have developed amnesia. Who am I? And where did this egg come from?” Since people haven’t been able to properly name our WTF is it?!? item for a few weeks now, I thought we would go with a food item nearly guaranteed to be identified. I…
Perhaps I have a smidge of room left for the brunost. In yesterday’s blog watch we linked to a piece on Tinkering with Dinner that discussed the Omnivore’s Hundred, a kind of foodie scavenger hunt that allows you to gauge the types of foods you’ve eaten or would never eat…
Above: And ten reasons to love Publix Yes, you too can be a wine connoisseur on your minimalist 30K a year salary. I’ve just finished reading The Wine Trials by Robin Goldstein, a scrappy little tome about the 6,000 wines he arranged to have blind tasted over the course of…
My soul mate, the great J. Wellington Wimpy. This week, on the (dun dun dun!!!!) BLOG WATCH: All Purpose Dark skips town. Hey, it sounds like a good idea. Labor day weekend is upon us, and I know I’m definitely due for a road trip. Naples sounds nice, but I…

Now we’re hearing this strain of e.coli is spreading around the country and is antibiotic resistant. To top it off,…
“Undersell and overdeliver.” That’s the philosophy of restaurateur David Chang, as recently expressed on The Charlie Rose Show. Mr. Chang, as most epicures know, is chef/owner of three hugely popular and critically acclaimed Momofuku noodle and ssäm bars in New York City. As recipient of the 2007 James Beard Foundation…
Photo via Dirty Dining As glamorous as South Beach tries to be, there is still plenty of grunge to be found, especially in the kitchens and food prep stations of local restaurants. There is some leeway to be had, because one’s home kitchen is complete sterile either, but you still…

Lincoln Road’s Segafredo Cafe has always been sort of the place that you could only find in South Beach; it’s part Euro-centric cafe, part chic lounge. But even with its dual personality, it is as much as a place to party as it is a place to grab a bit…
I don’t know about you, but I need a mid-week break, and a wine tasting sounds like the best way to get my drunk on while pretending that I’m A) continuing my gastronomic education and B) being all sophisticated and stuff. Here are three grape-flavored blowouts going on tonight that…
Tap Tap’s house band. It’s sort of a shame that the most popular Haitian restaurant in Miami is in South Beach rather than, say, Little Haiti. But Moped Whitey’s fear of an unknown ‘hood isn’t the only reason — although it probably helps — for Tap Tap’s (819 Fifth Street,…
Breakfast of Champions So, what’s the most hideous thing you’ve ever knowingly swallowed, food-wise? Do you crave the nasty bits? We’d love to hear your story. And to get the old creative juices flowing, here are a few images of delectable dishes served at the Olympics food concessions in China…
Taco Tuesday. For months, New Timesers went to Treasure Trove every Tuesday for Taco Tuesdays, a special day on which chicken, beef, or veggie tacos are just $1. We haven’t been in a while now — you can only ingest six- and seven-taco meals for so many weeks in a…
