Patpong Road, 50 Eggs’ newest concept, opens this Friday, August 23, above Khong River House. The intimate lounge, which is open only Friday and Saturday evenings from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., is designed to invoke Bankok’s infamous Patpong Road. In addition to food stalls, another form of flesh is…
When New York mayoral candidate and corn-dog horn-dog, Anthony Weiner was busted yet again for sexting under the completely ridiculous porn-star-meets-lousy-superhero name, Carlos Danger, you know the whole food-loving world was thinking of how awesome it would be to name a line of sausages after the whole debacle. Hey, all…
“Sorry, we’re not getting them in until Wednesday.” That was my answer at the first Taco Bell I drove through yesterday afternoon. Even though the Mexican-ish fast-food company had moved up the release of the new Fiery Doritos Locos Tacos from the original August 22 launch date to August 19,…
For the past few weeks, it’s seemed there’s not enough time in the day. From the time I wake up., life goes by in a blur… walking the dogs, writing on the computer, doing chores, making dinner. My husband and I usually have one day off together, and each week…
After tons of speculation and a strange media blitz that involved showering food bloggers with bags of Doritos, Taco Bell’s new Doritos Locos Taco debuts today. The third taco in the Doritos Locos Taco (DLT) series, the new taco takes a spicier turn by turning Doritos’ lesser known Flamas chips…
I have a wonderful friend who lives in Palm Beach. Blame it on easy communication over the Internet, but even though we’re only an hour drive from each other, we barely get together in person. So, whenever either of us finds ourselves within 15 minutes of one another, we drop…
Happy National Rum Day! Sure, it’s another made up holiday, but when there are cheap rum drinks involved do you really care? If you want to get technical, since sugar cane is a major Florida crop…and since rum is distilled from sugar and/or molasses, you could say that rum should…
Yogurt, in some form or another, will never disappear. Just when we think the Fro-Yo trend has surely jumped the shark, we’re proven wrong with the expansion of Pinkberry. Of course, who in their right mind doesn’t love frozen yogurt? Which is basically a way to eat a cold, creamy…
Ahh. Miami Spice. True, it’s a great value but like everything in life, the two month-long promotion comes with a few catches — like the fact that many restaurants don’t offer the three-course prix-fixe Spice menu on weekends. That sucks, because a lot of us simply have too many things…
Ever enjoy the perfect cocktail at your local bar and wish you could make a good drink at home? Well, you might not be a seasoned mixologist, but The Hoxton’s Thomas Merolla feels that anyone should be able to make a solid cocktail. Which is why the talented bartender is…
When deciding on a restaurant for Miami Spice, there are a few factors to consider: location, whether the restaurant serves lunch or dinner (or both), and the price point (fine or luxury dining). Of course there’s also the question of whether or not your choice serves Spice on weekends (many…
Call it a “spirit revival” or call it “getting back to basics”, but bourbon has gained immense popularity in the past few years. Although it’s commonly referred to as Kentucky bourbon, the spirit does not have to be produced in Kentucky. In 1964, Congress declared the whiskey as a distinctive…
Call the number of the Sunny Isles restaurant that specializes in dim sum and you’ll be greeted with, “Chef Ho!” No, that’s not shorthand during busy lunchtime order taking. That’s the new name of the restaurant. Chef Philip Ho is now Chef Ho. According to Jackie Sam, one of the…
Although you might not have eaten at Heston Blumenthal’s three Michelin-star rated restaurant, The Fat Duck, which offers a tasting menu for £195 per person, it’s pretty much certain you’ve heard about the chef and the restaurant. Located in the town of Bray, about a 45-minute train ride from London’s…
In Hoboken, New Jersey, people line up in front of Carlo’s Bakery for pastries and cakes. The shop, in business since 1910, was busy long before the Valastro family gained fame and recognition on the show, Cake Boss. Now, Buddy Valastro, the master baker behind both show and the bakery,…
Paula Deen’s stellar career as a Food Network celebrity and endorsement darling imploded this past June. The cause? A deposition taken in correlation with a harassment lawsuit filed by a former employee of a restaurant co-owned by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers in which Deen admits to using the…
Watching the season premiere of Eat, Drink, Love on Bravo last evening, I kept repeating one phrase, “My brain hurts.” The reality television “docu-drama” which follows the eating and mating habits of five women in the Los Angeles food scene, makes the Real Housewives of anywhere seem like nuns with…
When the staff at Soi Chinese Kitchen showed up for work this morning, they anticipated a regular Monday filled with lunch orders and diners. Instead, they found the restaurant had been broken into. See also: Soi Chinese Kitchen: Duck Buns, Short-Rib Dumplings, and a Chinese Prayer…
Azul, the upscale restaurant that launched the careers of some of the best names in south Florida dining like Michelle Bernstein and Clay Conley, has closed temporarily during the Mandarin Oriental Miami’s renovation. Cafe Sambal, located underneath Azul, has also closed. According to the hotel’s Public Relations Manager, Heidi Barfels,…
Have you been watching Shark Week? Of course you have! Discovery Channel’s sharkfest is a mix of reality and fantasy featuring sharks in all their bloody, gory best behavior. It’s an obvious guilty pleasure watching these awesome predators jump out of the water to swallow cute, unsuspecting seals whole. Plus,…
Here’s a news flash for ya. It’s going to be a hot and sticky weekend. You’ve got two options: beach or brunch, although knowing us Miamians, we’ll choose both. Though Miami Spice doesn’t technically offer brunch deals, check out these restaurants serving great three-course “daytime meals” on the weekend. Forget…
