On Saturday I woke up bright and early at to make it to the first installment of Azul's interactive cooking class series.

On April 25, 2012, Sharon Stern took her own life. The 33-year-old from North Miami Beach had spent part of the previous three years traveling the world with a Japanese dance master known as Katsura Kan, teaching workshops and performing. One video shows them on a black stage, side by...
Oh my God, I can't believe the Dolphins missed another first down / They're losing to the Chiefs / That's like so embarrassing / I can't even / Hey, do you wanna get another beer / I really need one / But first ... Let me take a #Selfie Yes,...
The Arsht Center's Ziff Ballet Opera House is about to get wet. Very wet. The sort of wet that if the water were the result of natural causes, it would require extra flood insurance. Nightly Wednesdays through Sundays — and three times Saturdays — more than 6,000 gallons of water...
If you've ever visited the Broken Shaker, Eating House, or become pork-drunk during one of Jeremiah Bullfrog's special events you might've noticed a quiet guy with glasses and short-cropped hair doing some heavy lifting.

Rick Scott and Charlie Crist, AKA Lord Voldemort and the sleaziest used-car salesman you ever met, may not be the most inspiring candidates ever, but that's not an excuse not to vote today. Of course, Facebook and Twitter and all of that are full of people proudly proclaiming they've voted,...
The beige bulb of crackly pastry dough sprinkled with white powder could be hiding anything. You punch a fork into the flaky shell and a wisp of steam fills the air, which is already thick with incense and the blare of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" set to a Middle Eastern...
The Miami Marlins and their deep pockets are the story of the sports world this week, just as we all predicted. On Monday, the Marlins formally announced they'd given All-Star slugger Giancarlo Stanton a 13-year, $325 million deal. It's the single most lucrative deal ever given to an an American...
