Note: Yesterday there was a fire at Kyushu, so we will have to wait and see what the status of this restaurant will be. After my unfortunate break up with Ambrosia, I had a hankering for sushi. Naturally, it was the coldest day of the year, so I bundled in […]

One of my dear readers often complains that of all the fabulous places I eat, not one of them is near his house. This one is for you. Il Mercato Cafe is on Hallandale Beach Boulevard, in the Publix shopping center in Hallandale, FL. The restaurant has only been open […]
After our epic failure at Ambrosia, we headed over to The Upper Deck at Louie’s Backyard. The Upper Deck is upstairs (duh) and serves tapas-style food and a good selection of wines by the glass. As it was after 9PM, and they close at 10PM, we arrived to a nearly […]
Stepping into the Cracked Conch Cafe in Marathon (MM 49.5) is like taking one giant leap backwards to 1975, complete with vinyl tablecloths, diner-style menu and dudes at the outside bar smoking. I suppose if it actually were 1975, they would have been smoking inside. The menu is large and […]

I often shy away from Cuban food, even in Miami where it is plentiful. Why? I spent a lot of time working with loads of people who insisted on going out for Cuban food for lunch. We went to places where everything was loaded with some sort of pig product, […]
The food truck trend is sweeping the nation. Is it a good one? I think so. Granted, most of the time when I go out to eat I want to sit down and have some type of table service. I often need a steady supply of iced tea and I […]
