The winner of ‘ Chopped,’ a popular TV cooking competition, has started a temporary restaurant in Coral Gables.
Without a place where it customers can park, the craft beer and food establishment would have to close. But the city-owned tract is also sought by Broward taxi magnate Jesse Gaddis.
If you’re a fan of bubble (or boba) tea, you know the flavorful drinks, with their chewy tapioca pearls, aren’t easy to find in South Florida. So we were thrilled to hear about M & H Café in Davie, a popular hangout for students from nearby colleges. And with good reason.
Jimbo’s Place, a landmark Virginia Key fish shack and watering hole that had fallen on hard times in recent years, was closed Monday by the city of Miami.

In a commercial venture reminiscent of the branding queens Paula Deen and Rachael Ray, who seem to have never met a piece of kitchen equipment — or product — they didn’t put their name on, comes this announcement from Ecco books:
A cone please, with onion sprinkles and an extra scoop of picadillo.
A quarter-century on, Douglas Rodriguezs fusion fervor has given way to a focus on ingredients and a disdain for molecular cooking
The goods: Juvia brings us a new level of dining — literally – as it sits atop the stylish 1111 Lincoln Road garage with spectacular views of Miami Beach to the north and east. The kitchen talent includes executive chefs Laurent Cantineaux (a Daniel Boulud protégé) and Sunny Oh (Nobu South Beach).
As he prepares to quit the kitchen for the classroom, chef Charlie Trotter makes it clear that he won’t be just nibbling around the edges when it comes to graduate school.
For one more day, South Beach will be a wine and food lover’s nirvana, peppered with parties, after-parties and after after-parties (if you are a big-shot chef).
Andrew Zimmern, in town for this weekend’s wine and food fest, has made his reputation eating bizarre foods
The next freshest thing to driving to the Redland and picking your own produce may be Coral Gables’ Green Table, which tosses salads with locally grown greens and serves only organic chicken and grass-fed beef.
The goods: The team from Miami’s first pop-up restaurant, Phuc Yea!, has resurfaced with the Federal Food Drink & Provisions, a permanent spot on Biscayne with an emphasis on farmhouse cooking.

As the economy recovers, consumers are spending again on affordable indulgences like super-premium cocktails
Just what Miami needs: another burger place. But why not? You can never have too much of a tasty thing, even if you’d get in trouble with Mom for saying its name. Damn Good Burger (DGB for short and sweet) is the latest entry into the ground beef fray and, like most places, is trying to keep ahead of the competition.
The goods: Expect over-the-top parties and high-rolling meals at the Delano’s new restaurant, Bianca, managed by Las Vegas’ Light Group.
