Props to Paula from one of our favorite blogs, Mango & Lime for first posting the details of Sunset Corners Wine Academy’s Friday Nite-Burger Night wine tasting. On Friday, April 30th, Miami’s Sunset Corners is hosting a wine tasting, pairing wines from Piedmonte with burgers. Think kobe sliders with an Italian twist and regional cheeses [...]
Mister M and I spent this rainy Sunday catching up on the massive amount of food shows that have accumulated on our DVR—about ten Barefoot Contessa episodes, the last three Top Chef Masters, episodes of Lydia’s Italy and Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution as well as Food Network’s Private Chefs of Beverly Hills. That’s when we [...]
Since opening in 2009, Datz Delicatessen has refined their space on MacDill Avenue to become a full-blown foodie experience. Besides offering extensive breakfast, lunch and dinner menus featuring some of the best ingredients available (their sandwich menu alone tops 40 selections!), Datz is a gourmet market, a full service bakery and they sell boutique wines [...]
Last weekend’s sold-out Bern’s Winefest No. 13 proved to be the top-notch tasting event it promised. As expected, there were oodles of fabulous wines (the 2006 Quitnessa ($123) and 2005 Jamet Cote-Rotie 2005 ($115) come to mind), but our mission was to seek out the best value wines to pass along to our readers. There [...]

No longer relegated to a piece of processed cheese between two pieces of Wonderbread, many Florida restaurants have taken a decidedly adult approach to the childhood favorite. April is National Grilled Cheese Month, and to celebrate, we’ve gone searching for where Florida Insiders go for [...]
The Tampa steakhouse long regarded as having the largest wine selection in the country is set to host four days of dinners, parties and a grand tasting at both their Bern’s Steakhouse and Sidebern’s properties in Tampa this weekend. Winemaker dinners anchor Bern’s Winefest No. 13, with parties and a tented grand tasting in between. [...]
The prestigious 2010 James Beard Foundation Award finalists were announced on March 22nd. All in all, not a whole lot of love for Florida Chefs and Restaurants. The last men standing among the five best chefs in the southern region are two South Floridians, Zach Bell from Palm Beach’s Café Boulud at the Brazillian Court [...]
We don’t know if it’s the moon-sized slices of their thin-crusted pizza or the loads of beers on tap, but we’ve fallen in love with Orlando’s Lazy Moon Pizza. Lazy Moon’s beer menu (tap and bottled) is huge, highlights include St. Peter’s Porter, Guinness, Staropramen pilsner as well as hometown favorite Orlando Brewing Old Pelican. [...]
