The week ahead at the movies and on TV
TELEVISION CRITIC
A lifelong television nut who is rumored to be the real father of Rachel's baby on Friends, Glenn Garvin took over the critic's job in 2002 after 19 years covering Latin America -- the last five of them as The Herald's bureau chief in Managua. A 1975 graduate of Stanford University, Garvin is the author of two books on Latin America and the only living person who actually saw an episode of My Mother, The Car. You can e-mail him at ggarvin@MiamiHerald.com.

‘Burger Land’ turns focus on Miami’s best Latin burgers
When I visited Paris, my girlfriend spent the whole flight chattering about Coquilles St. Jacques and goat-cheese tarts and escargot. Except to annoy her by interjecting “You mean snails?” every time she mentioned the escargot, I mostly kept quiet. My first meal was going to be at the McDonald’s on the Champs-Elysees, where I wanted to check out a report that Le Big Mac was stuffed with foie gras. (It wasn’t. Damn Internet.) I like gourmet food, but nothing beats eating a cow. At heart, I’m a burger guy.

Jake Tapper and his move to CNN
