Chefs are busy people. When the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival comes to town, many of them are even busier than usual. Poor, poor chefs: They’re either working so hard at the festival or working so hard because of all the extra foodies in town for the…
Chef Daniel Serfer has folks waiting on line to get a seat in his little Blue Collar space. The fare is honest, and, more importantly, so are the prices. Now the restaurant’s “White Collar Weekends” will bring a rotating set of “sophisticated specials” each Friday and Saturday evening. New offerings…
There’s a good old-fashioned bagel/cafe war shaping up on South Beach these days. In this corner of Alton Road (the one on 15th Street): Einstein Bros Bagels, serving locals at this locale since the 20th Century. And in the opposite corner (the one on 14th Street) is Panera Bread, with…

While exiting Eternity Coffee Roasters the other day, I noticed a fast-food type of place right next door called Asian Pan. A friendly manager behind the counter informed me that it had opened about two-and-a-half months ago, and that it wasn’t a chain. “Not yet,” he added.In fact, it isn’t…
Last week we ran a Where It At? post with a few photos from a Vigneron Collection lunch in an unnamed location. The meal took place at The Grill At The Setai, and chef David Werly along with his crew deserve credit for some mighty tasty dishes. Pierre Seillan, Chevalier…
After a brief elevator ride to the top floor of the new Miami Culinary Institute, diners entering Tuyo are instantly captivated by the sweeping view afforded by dramatically framed floor-to-ceiling windows. The breathtaking vista brings the illuminated Freedom Tower and American Airlines Arena front and center, with Biscayne Bay to…
Let’s assume the worst: Your Valentine’s Day won’t quite pan out the way you’d hoped it would. Maybe you will be curtly informed that the “champagne” you had so thoughtfully put on ice was really “only sparkling wine,” and that “any idiot knows real champagne can’t be produced in the…
Haven’t thought of a Valentine’s Day gift yet? Here’s an idea for a present that your lover will surely remember the rest of her life: The “Dinner Box Proposal Package” from Pizza Hut.Granted, what your mate will forever recall is how crazy, tacky, just plain stupid, and desperate you were…

Single-serve pod coffee machines are all the rage in America these days. Single-serve coffee is now the second most popular means of making a cup (after drip brewers). Last year, 7 percent of coffee consumed in the U.S. was made with a single-serve brewer; in 2010 it was 4 percent.The…
Our Snackdown smackdown continues. Voting on South Beach vs. Coconut Grove has closed today as the Grove handily defeated SoBe, but we also still have a race going on between downtown and Mid Beach — as of this morning, the former is whupping the latter. Far be it for me…

The Dutch: The W South Beach’s hot new restaurant serves food as lively as the scene
It was a wonderful wine lunch, held somewhere at some point in the not too distant past. Here are photos of three dishes served. We’ll tell you what the dishes are, and what wines were served, once you tell us where it at.More photos after the jump…
As you may or may not know, Short Order is having a little Snackdown! Over the next few weeks, we will be pairing eight Miami-Dade neighborhoods and pitting one against the other in an NCAA-bracket sort of tournament. The first entry, last Thursday, was Coconut Grove versus South Beach.Admittedly this…
A heady fizz practically kisses diners as they enter the Dutch. This self-described American restaurant, bar, and oyster room bubbles over with a fabulous clientele, and the boisterous decibel level is jazzed with the razzmatazz buzz that “it” places possess. The staff hustles and bustles to the beat of the…
660 at The Angler’s has announced that Carlos Torres will be replacing the recently departed Giorgio Rapicavoli as executive chef. The indoor/outdoor contemporary American restaurant will keep its signature dishes, but chef Torres will slowly integrate his own dishes into the menu. Look for a yuzu-marcerated scallop ceviche with avocado,…
