Tropical Storm Emily is moving northwest and close to making landfall on Haiti and Dominican Republic. Though the latest projection by the National Hurricane Service has Miami just outside the “cone of death”, food truck owners have two concerns: the safety of their trucks in a wind storm and the…
Truluck’s on Brickell keeps on truckin’
Mark Zeitouni, executive chef at The Standard Hotel’s Lido, gave us a little insight on his food influences and his unique style of pickling in yesterday’s interview.The rising chef preserves his own vegetables by pickling them right in his own restaurant. What started as a necessity in San Francisco’s farm…
The Miami food truck industry seems to add a new truck to the roster every day. If you want to get in on the booming truck industry, you can either pony upwards of $100,000 to purchase a brand new fully-customized food truck with state-of-the-art equipment. Or you can start your…
Tropical Storm Emily formed yesterday in the Caribbean, and if you’re like us, you’re getting your gourmet canned food ready in case she hits on Saturday. If you want to take an even less practical route, how about pickling some cucumbers in case you need to preserve those veggies for…
When Morgans announced that it was opening a South Beach location in the old Joe Allen spot, more than a few people wondered what it would be like. Normally when a restaurant closes and another opens in its place, there’s not much conjecture about whether the new restaurant will fill…
Burger Beast is out and about again. One of Miami’s first food truck devotees, the Beast is still heavily involved in the scene (we told you about his food truck tracker app in the works), but now he’s moving inside — at least on Wednesdays. Burger Beast is teaming up…
Tudor House, the new Geoffrey Zakarian restaurant at the Dream Hotel South Beach, opened to much fanfare and anticipation. With executive chef Jamie DeRosa behind the burner and Zakarian’s wife Margaret a frequent presence at the “modern gastro café,” much was expected of the food and service. Short Order was…
There didn’t seem to be many interesting restaurant openings in July other than Morgans’ second outpost in the old Joe Allen space. August is shaping up to be more promising with the openings of Egg & Dart in the Design District and Chow Down Grill’s second location in South Beach…
Dr. Vilma Biaggi is an elegant Argentinian doctor with a petite frame and a large appetite for life. By day she runs a successful practice in Aventura. By night this no-nonsense M.D. turns on the charm to make guests feel like family at her Cadet Hotel, a small boutique hotel…
In this pork-obsessed world of ours, we’re surprised that a food truck dedicated solely to all things piggy didn’t happen sooner. But, like all good things, the Pork Shop was worth the wait. Vegans need not apply to this pork-tastic truck, where the emphasis is on the pig, only the pig,…
Let’s just get this out of the way: We despise cauliflower. We’ve hated it since we were kids. It’s hard and crumbly and ghostly and everything a vegetable shouldn’t be. But boy did we get a surprise when we were pushed to eat ’em atop an Anthony’s Coal Fired pizza…
Morgans on the Beach, the sister restaurant of the original Morgans in Wynwood, will officially open its doors Friday for lunch after a soft opening tonight. Staying with the dining-in-a-house feel of the original, Morgans on the Beach takes over the former Joe Allen space, adding its trademark lavender color…
Last night, in honor of National Scotch Day, Short Order headed over to Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink for some seriously old scotch and a tasting of pastry chef Hedy Goldsmith’s latest creations.The Macallan brand ambassador Randolph Adams was our host for the evening, and led us through a flight…
It was only a matter of time, right? Michael Schwartz will follow up his two Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink locations in Miami and Grand Cayman with Harry’s Pizzeria, a “casual neighborhood joint featuring the chef/restaurateur’s fresh, simple, pure, and local food anchored by seasonally-inspired pizzas from the wood-burning oven.”…
South Beach dining can be nauseating before you even pick a restaurant, if you don’t know how to navigate it properly. Restaurants hire hot girls to wave menus in your face and yell lunch specials at you while their cleavage falls out of their shirts. Everything seems to cost twice…
Dogma, the Biscayne Boulevard hot doggery that was recently purchased by partners Mark Soyka and Frank Crupi, has expanded its food options to include a full line of old-school sandwiches, and Short Order was invited to try some. Philly cheesesteaks ($7.95) served with grilled onions and hot cherry peppers, oyster…
At Miami food truck roundups you can find most anything from tacos to snow cones. But the one thing New York food truck roundups have over us this weekend — besides scorching heat waves and lots of pigeons — is free sex toys and condoms. Yup, you heard us right!…
Little Lotus: This Asian secret in downtown Miami will bloom big
Head cheese is one of those things the French come up with that takes whatever everyone else in the world is doing (bologna for example), and elevates it to a completely different level. Fromage de tête is officially classified as a terrine, but we prefer to use the low-brow verbiage,…
Sonic isn’t really a fast-food joint. I mean sure, technically it is, but the quality and taste of the food elevate it to something a couple of steps above McDonald’s and Wendy’s. Not only that, but Sonic Beach in Homestead now offers 28 types of beer ($3 to $4), wine,…
You know the old riddle what’s black and white and red all over? Well, it could be a newspaper, a zebra with a sunburn or Vice Lounge on Lincoln Road. The decor is anything but subtle, unless you consider a New Orleans bordello subtle. So when we were invited to…
