There are few things I like to admit. Walking into The Floridian Diner for the first time in the 16 years I’ve been in Florida is one of them. Don’t judge me. I don’t get out much. But since I was in the downtown Fort Lauderdale area, it was pointless for me to walk into a [...] There are very few days during the year that I celebrate as actual holidays. The Super Bowl – an unofficial national holiday – is something I get practically giddy about. It’s almost like my Christmas. Luckily, I’m not alone in my enthusiasm. South Florida Dunkin’ Donuts – who are no stranger to promoting coffee and pastries [...] Now solidified in Deerfield Beach culture, I have discovered the secret to Charm City Burger Company’s amazing chocolate milkshake: U-Bet chocolate syrup. I say that only because I grew up on U-bet. Hershey’s chocolate syrup is all well and good, but my Mommy taught me right: U-bet chocolate. Or bust. Well maybe my Mom never said “or [...] Photo by Rachael Joyner The first time I went into a Primanti Bros., I squeezed into a small chair at their very snug Fort Lauderdale location. I took a friend – a Pittsburgh native who said a taste of Primanti’s was like a taste of home. So I took him for his birthday. “I’ll have the [...] First popcorn, then what?

What did Orville Redenbacher ever do to the Sun-Sentinel that Publisher Howard Greenberg had to send out a memo on Thursday afternoon to his staff telling them microwaving popcorn was banned from the building?

With a not-so-surprising, overwhelming majority, Team Mike LaMonica took home the inaugural victory of the Great Pizza Cook-off on Tuesday night. The contest was sponsored by Worst Pizza and the [...] As children, there are three questions repeated profusely. Are we there yet? Do you love it so much that you would MARRY it? And, of course…. Could you eat it every day for the rest of your life? While the first two eventually fade, the third question sticks around. To this day, I think about that one meal that I [...] Ruthie Medina, then 6, with "Mami Zoila" - as she called her, and younger sister Raquel. In the spring of 1988, 4-year-old Ruthie Medina was just happy to be an older sister to newborn Raquel. She didn’t think that one of her mother’s follow-up appointments at the doctor was going to turn into a breast [...] If you’ve been reading along, you may be familiar with South Florida’s lack of seasons. Besides sports, Floridians know that fall is arriving when pumpkins emerge on street corners, grocery stores and front lawns across the tri-county area. In my search to satisfy everyone’s cravings with varied Fat Kid days of the week, I discovered that, [...] No need to send me your suggestions at The Home Depot, the kitchen sink I’m in search for wont wash dishes. In fact, the only purpose this kitchen sink serves is to be filled with delicious dessert from Jaxson’s Ice cream Parlour and Restaurant in Hollywood.
