Just when you think you cannot possibly eat another slice of pizza, it happens. You end up hungry, on Thanksgiving day, when not a lot is open. We found ourselves at Piola in Hallandale. The Italian restaurant chain occupies an unassuming space in the Diplomat Mall.
2012 marked the fourth year in a row that my cousin came to visit Key West over Thanksgiving weekend. This year, she brought her fiancé, and we had a great time. Naturally, the majority of what we were doing was what we enjoy most: good food and good wine.

A few weeks ago when a friend told me I should try Zaza’s, my response was “Eh, I never want to dive that far for lunch,” as if the 17 mile drive to Sugarloaf Key would kill me. Then I found myself driving south from Hollywood, in Sugarloaf, at lunchtime. […]
