The vintage-feeling restaurant on Pearl Street specializes in comfort food. The chef’s southern background adds to the homey feeling. Devil’s Food is probably best known for their Eggs Benedict, which has won several awards in the Denver area.
The expectations are extremely low along the area adjacent to Lincoln Road in South Beach. Buskers beckon and menus are heavy on the overcooked pasta and alfresco table scene. But Khong – part of the 50 Eggs group that also owns Yardbird – does a more than serviceable job when it comes to delicious Thai … Continued
A nice little surprise in town, frequented mostly by locals, doing gastropub fare in a very casual dining room. Located in a dimly-lit strip mall, just a few blocks from the Design District, big flavors await. They rely a lot on bacon/pork products, but that’s fine with me. Deviled eggs are a great starter, and … Continued
It’s tiny – only about 250 sq. feet – but that means no freezers, and whatever they bring in the morning, is what’s being used that day. Triggerfish, cobia, grouper…you never know what the fish of the day is. They also sell fish tacos and large plates, but I say get the namesake, done Peruvian-style, … Continued
Located next to the original Joe’s Stone Crab, I would much rather you spend your money here, than in the tourist-laden, overrated main dining room next door. You don’t need to tip the host a $20 here, and the wait is minimal, for the same quality crabs, sides and key lime pie to go. I … Continued
One of my favorite restaurants, anywhere. Totally worth the cab fare if you’re staying in South Beach. Located in the Design District, just over the Causeway from Mid-Beach. I’ve eaten here a handful of times, and never had a bad meal. Be sure to save room for Hedy’s desserts. Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink 130 … Continued
The South Beach outpost of this New York City restaurant by Andrew Carmellini is located in the W South Beach Hotel. Giant shellfish platters anchor a seafood-focused menu that also has plenty of meat for your carnivorous uncle. Open for lunch and dinner; they also have a bakery counter that opens at 7:30 a.m. if … Continued
This Portland doughnut joint has quickly become a sensation, with several locations across Oregon. They’re known for their eclectic decor and adventurous handmade doughnuts. You can enjoy a classic or go for something coated in Fruit Loops or shaped like a voodoo doll. You can also get legally married there, if you so desire. I … Continued
This hip little Portland ice cream shop churns up their own unique flavors (Strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper, Arbequina olive oil) and some superior takes on old classics. They also feature a selection of seasonally inspired flavors guaranteed to surprise. Be prepared to wait in line though. Salt and Straw 2035 NE Alberta Street, … Continued
Too many decisions at Beaucoup Bakery in South Granville Vancouver, BC – Jackie Kai Ellis looks more like a runway model or an interior designer than she does a pastry chef, but you realize the North Vancouver native knows her Plugra when she starts talking about croissants and caneles. She studied Fine Arts in Toronto … Continued
