1826 Restaurant, a South Beach spot helmed by acclaimed chef Danny Grant, will open its doors on Collins Avenue in early 2014. The restaurant describes its cuisine as contemporary American — a category that sounds a lot like other places in town. So how will it set itself apart? “Contemporary…
Here we go… The official end of hurricane season, the start of cooler weather, and an influx of restaurants opening in Miami. With tourist season and Art Basel coming down the pipeline sooner than we realize, restaurants are clamoring to finish that paint job, install those burners, and open the…
South Florida’s homegrown the Cheese Course chain is growing. The cheese and sammy shop just opened their newest outpost in downtown Miami, so cube-dwellers and starving artists can choose from 150 artisanal cheeses when a craving strikes. The new locale joins locations in Pinecrest, Aventura, Midtown, and Weston. The dairy-focused…
After four years of flip nights, red headed sluts (the shot, duh), and U2 cover bands — Brickell Irish Pub is closing its doors. This massive bar/eatery is going out in a blaze of glory with a “Last Call Closing Party” this Saturday night. See also: The Hoxton in Brickell…
South Beach has never looked as good as it does this sun-drenched afternoon. You’re sitting beneath the sea grape tree at Restaurant Michael Schwartz and watching two dudes play catch with a foam football in the Raleigh Hotel pool. Children romp in the water and beg their parents for more…
Sam Gorenstein sticks to what he knows. At My Ceviche, he serves pristine local fish in burritos, tacos, and even quinoa bowls. When he goes out to eat, the Colombian-born chef doesn’t venture too far from his roots. He clings to seafood and Latin American eats. Here, in his own…
I’ve always wanted to try one of those meal plan services. After all, the thought of coming home to find something waiting that doesn’t have chemicals or tons of added sodium sounds extremely appealing. Trouble is that most of the meal plans out there involve eating beef and pork and…
After years of wishful rumors and hopeful murmurs, Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto is officially setting up shop in Miami. And, as with many new endeavors, the announcement was made surreptitiously via Craigslist. An ad posted to the site yesterday announces his new outpost at the Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach,…
Colette Little French Bistro opened over two weeks ago on Lincoln Road. Featuring woven chairs and a Parisian-inspired decor, its outdoor terrace feels more Champs-�lys�es than South Beach. Chef Frederick Bouldron, who worked in several Michelin-rated restaurants in France, previously served as chef de cuisine at Miami’s Tosca and Villa…
On a recent afternoon, we braved the construction on Alton Road to visit Go-Go Fresh Food Caf�. It’s a small, fast-casual restaurant where you order items from a menu laminated on the wall. Offerings include big salads, mini salads, soups, and the popular Go-Go pies (AKA empanadas). As much as…

The city’s annual hedonism heyday (well, one of many) is just a few short months away. We’re referring, of course, to the South Beach Wine and Food Festival. From February 20th through 23rd, 2014, this annual event will invade our sunny shores with more food, drink, and celebrity chef debauchery…
Cold-pressed juices and booze-free shots aren’t always as satisfying as something you can chew on. That’s why when Jugofresh’s Matthew Sherman and Darren Laszlo (AKA Chef Paco) invited Short Order to try their new food menu paired with juices, we happily obliged. The 15-course meal featured flavorful, nostalgic dishes. They…

There are many wondrous finds on the shelves of Trader Joe’s: coconut-covered cashews, cookie butter, $2.99 wine. It’s a magical place — like Wonka’s Chocolate Factory for grownups. And unlike your average Publix, there are all kinds of vegetarian and vegan foods. Here are the top ten vegetarian finds at…
JR’s Gourmet Burgers in Miami Springs offers a dish called the “Outside Is In” ($7.99). It’s a half-pound mass of beef that’s stuffed with crisp bacon and melted cheddar cheese. True story…
Lure Fishbar is scheduled to open this November in the former Emeril’s space at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel,. This is the second Lure Fishbar to open, with the New York flagship receiving praise for its innovative takes on classic seafood dishes, including a spot on Forbes’ 2010 All-Star Eateries…
Dinner Lab, a self-proclaimed “social dining experiment” with outposts in nine major cities, is set to debut in Miami in early 2014. The members-only supper club hosts up to 80 dinners in each metropolis yearly. And these meals are never exactly the same. For each event, Dinner Lab changes its…
Critical Mass, the monthly cycling frenzy with more than 2,000 participants, will take place tomorrow. And Aleric “AJ” Constantin, the chef who made headlines in July after police arrested him for selling ice cream without a license, will offer Halloween-inspired treats.

Miami’s not exactly rife with vegetarian options. There aren’t nearly enough, well, choices. But there’s an exception. Since 2011, Choices Cafe has been providing meatless eats for local herbivores. And now Travel + Leisure has recognized its merits. The national magazine has named the Brickell-area cafe among the top vegetarian…
It’s impossible to miss the mimosas at OTC, the year-old Brickell sensation. On a recent Sunday morning, they adorn every table on the porch like fizzy orange vases. The line of patrons is equally obvious. A young crowd clusters by the restaurant’s counter and forms a string of cool kids…
You might have seen the 63-degree egg. It pops up on several menus around town — at OTC, MC Kitchen, and Eating House, among others. But what the hell is it exactly? “It’s an egg that’s cooked in its shell in a water bath,” explains Jacob Anaya, the executive chef…
