Restaurant Reviews
Not long ago, I asked around as to where to get the best fried chicken in South Florida. Aside from the standard chains (Popeye’s, Church’s), my friends didn’t have a whole lot of insight. So, I turned to the Internet. This is how I first heard of Michy’s fried chicken. Michy’s, an upscale restaurant located
Coral Gables Restaurant Week brought me to Angelique Euro Cafe for their three course lunch. When I arrived, I was somewhat disappointed to discover that we would be seated outside, as there was a baby shower taking up the interior of the restaurant. I was told that this happens quite often. I guess this place is
Despite the name, Coral Gables Restaurant Week was a 3 week long affair. During this time, restaurants located in Coral Gables offered discounted 3-course meals. This basically translates to “go out and eat at places that you would normally be unable to afford.” And, that is exactly what I did.

A restaurant that specializes in burgers and tacos didn’t really catch my attention. After all, they are 2 very different styles of cuisine, so how can you master both? To me, it conjured
In case it wasn’t already obvious, I LOVE burgers. Well, I love food in general, but burgers are one of several food items that I absolutely could never do without. So, when a friend pointed out that USA Today named a local burger joint one of the Top 25 Burgers in the country, I jumped
If you’ve never had Peruvian food, then you are missing out. I had heard of Ceviche 105 from when they participated in Miami Spice last year, but never got around to making it over there.

To most South Floridians old enough to remember, Don Shula is a football legend. To those of us in the slightly younger generation, Don Shula is the name plastered on a chain of high-end steakhouses scattered about South Florida.
