 The great Greek salad I saw the construction and the sign for Mrs. Mac’s new building for what seemed like a really long time. After inquiring, I learned that the new location up the street is, in fact, a second location and they would not be moving or closing the original location. Continue reading Mrs. Mac’s, Key Largo: Second Location

 You know how you have friends that, for one reason or another, always end up coming to your house or going out near where you live? Usually it is because you (read: me) are really lazy and don’t want to drive far, or at all. I have a number of friends that fall into this category,and they don’t mind, generally because I cook them a good meal when they do come over. Last week I broke the trend and headed over to see friends that live near Brickell in Miami. Continue reading Rosinella Italian Trattoria, Brickell Village, Miami

 Drink local First of all, 48 degrees in May is an unacceptable outside temperature for a Floridian. Yet there I was, arriving in Milwaukee, to 48 degrees. In a sundress. With a fleece (at least I was kind of prepared). And flip flops. I went outside to meet my friend Bill, and I realized that I had no idea what kind of car he drove. So I started looking in windows, only to find people giving me really odd looks. Continue reading 18 Hours in Milwaukee: The Food

 You can't ever go wrong with truffle fries. I had the great pleasure of meeting a friend I see far too infrequently for lunch last week. I wanted to go somewhere I could bring Babka, because (a) I really love the dog, (b) I knew my friend wouldn’t mind, and although she is not much of a dog person, kind of likes Babka, too and (c) I schlep Babka everywhere with me (see point a). So, I picked Yardhouse at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale. Continue reading Yardhouse, Gulfstream Park, Hallandale, FL

I was recently approached by the folks at Cheapflights.com to answer a few questions about the Florida Keys and Key West for their Insider’s Guide to the Keys. Naturally, since I can’t shut up about how great Key West, and all of the Keys are, I answered. At length. Great restaurants? Check. Fun things to do . . . → Read More: Florida Keys Girl’s Insider’s Guide to the Keys

 Bring on the peanut dressing. There are really not that many good restaurants in Fort Lauderdale (There. I said it.) One of the most consistent ones is Thai Spice. If the opportunity presents itself, I may get to sneak in a civilized lunch with FKGuy once in a while, and we generally go there. Continue reading Thai Spice, Fort Lauderdale

 The exploding Champagne We have wine friends everywhere, so when out of town wine geeks make it south, we always try to get together with them. Last week, a lovely couple from New York came down to Florida, so nine of us got together at Il Mercato in Hallandale for loads of wine, tons of food and a good time. Continue reading Mystery Wine… and Dinner at Il Mercato

 Vegetable dim sum. Yum. When my father wanted to go to Hakkasan for his birthday, I was surprised. It is in the Fontainbleu hotel on Miami Beach so the place is huge (Hakkasan is about a 10 minute walk from where we valeted the car) and the fact that is undoubtedly crazy-expensive, off we went for what I hoped to be a nice birthday dinner.
