Michy’s All-You-Can-Eat Fried Chicken (A Review)
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.

Riverwalk Trust Burger Battle 2013
Burger Battle is easily one of the annual food events that I look forward to the most. And, why not? You basically get to walk around, sampling burgers from numerous restaurants competing for the title of “Best Burger”, and then vote for your favorite. And, as if that wasn’t enough, there is also a French
