I NEED to eat REAL BBQ in South Florida. Where do I go?
you can try the new restaurant hogzilla which replaced beach bbq on washington ave in south beach.I was impressed with their texas style smoked brisket and collared greens,less so with their baby back ribs.
A Fish Called Avalon?
havent eaten there since i've worked there one summer in '90,but as a general rule why eat at any restaurant on ocean drive?The chance you will see a local eat there will be as rare as finding a local in philly who prefers pats or genos over johns roast pork or steve's prince of steaks for cheesteaks.(i'm originally from philly).Food gets better once you leave ocean drive.
just bought a GE profile double oven with glasstop cooktop -What experiences have u had with it?
the manual was very explicit that sugar had to be removed immediately while the spill was still hot.Maybe my top is only ceramic instead of glass because it is black-maybe the next model that was more expensive was glass top.I'll check with the salesman.All i know is i was enamored with the features of double convection ovens(even though top one is a midget oven)and the fact the 2 left side burners act in coordination to put a grill over both of them with the same heat so you could sear steaks before you toss them into the oven.It was alot cheaper than the induction stovetop and convection oven that was $1500 more.
just bought a GE profile double oven with glasstop cooktop -What experiences have u had with it?
i guess you regret purchasing your ge profile range/oven then ?
just bought a GE profile double oven with glasstop cooktop -What experiences have u had with it?
the owner's manual does not recommend cast iron or porcelain enameled steel cookware as the enamel could melt .Also they do not reommend thin weight aluminum.How did u adjust to baking with a convection oven?How much less time should i allow for recipes?Any helpful hints would be appreciated.Thank you in advance for your advice.
Looking for cheap seafood restaurants in Fort Lauderdale..... REALLY CHEAP!

Where do the south beach locals eat/drink/hang out?
a 90% local's bar is the polar bar next door to finnegan's road(both owned by same owner) on lincoln road just south of michigan ave.Elmira the barmaid gets a big crowd fri thru mon noon till 7 pm.Reasonably priced bar food,happy hour prices,frozen drink specials ,You can sit at outside tables and people watch or view the sports events on inside tv's.Ask if larry "the mayor" is around.
Happy Miami Spice 2010 (2 U) !!!
did the miami spice dinner at meat market.Had the lamb baby backs -delicious fall off the bones(3).Then had lamb 2 ways as entree(3 single chops and lamb stuffed in pastry).Tasted good ,but i would advise men who want these spice selections to eat first at home before so they will feel full.Anorexic models would be satisfied with the portions.
Miami Spice 2010
let us know if you enjoyed your chicken,churrasco or short ribs,or chilean salmon dish and where.
Miami Spice 2010
in my opinion miami spice started out as a great idea for chefs to showcase their talents and restaurants exhibiting great value and hope people were so impressed they would return to pay full price later on.Over the years it has degenerated into restaurants going through the motions and serving chilean salmon,roast chicken,or churrasco like early bird meals with only a free dessert being the difference between their normal pricing.I would much prefer that restaurants just give 20-25% off their regular menu prices.This would enable the consumer to try the restaurant's regular food and gauge a return visit at normal prices based on their experience.I'm interested to see if other chowhounds have felt that miami spice has gone downhill over the years with one or 2 exceptions and if we would be better served with the regular menus at these restaurants at a discounted price.

Best Onion Rings?
try the onion rings at burger and beer joint in south beach.Nice thick cut,not greasy,good crunch.
Looking for salt packed anchovies...any ideas where I can buy them?
possibly laurenzo's italian market in north miami has them ,on west dixie just north of 163rd street.
Burger and Beer Joint Review
just ate at burger and beer and was impressed with the product ,service,and most important, the management.I ate at the restaurant bar with casey and alexis? as bartenders and was served ice tea promptly and a menu provided with suggestions as to what are the strongest dishes to order.Casey even suggested substituting the duck fries for the skinny fries with my thunder road burger.Thick cut potato strips.As soon as my burger arrived the director of operations came to me thinking there may have been a mistake as i ordered medium rare and she felt it was too overcooked for my liking .I told her i like my burgers medium,but i order medium rare as a defence mechanism because its south beach and sometimes the staff down here are not known for promptness and things lay under a heat lamp too long.I broke open the burger to show that it was medium which is how i really like it.A general manager came by to ask how my experience eating there was and buzzie sklar ,the owner, also asked how things were.This hands on mangement and ownership is sorely lacking in many south beach restaurants.The restaurant has a section called the "sports bar" with about 6 t.v.s ,maybe 10 chairs around the bar,and cigarette smoke which had me scampering back to the front of the restaurant .The staff is friendly and highly energetic.My compliments to one of the few restaurants to open in south beach recently with a clue about service without the attitude.
Best breakfast in SB? Frod and Pigeon please help!
if you just want 2 eggs toast and coffee for 2.99 on ocean drive go to finnegan's way on ocean drive just south of 14th street.They have more complete breakfasts as well.This is the cheapest price for breakfast on ocean drive that i found.
Red's Eats in Wiscasset, Maine - Overrated?
i agree with your sister.Stopped at both places.Red's was better.
Cheap Eats, North Miami
eat at the gourmet diner 142 and biscayne.Their eggs benedict on weekends is awesome,and their fruit tarte is a winner.Good salads,escargot,etc.

South Beach Restaurants: the good / the bad
rosinella the best food in miami?Hope you were not using supplements like manny ramirez when you wrote this!LOL Try osteria de teatro or macaluso in south beach before you make that statement.Being a local i dont eat on ocean drive and rarely on lincoln road as i know the rents these establishments have to pay generally translate into overpriced and/or mediocre food.
seeking perogies in center city
will be staying near rittenhouse square for 2 weeks and am seeking eastern european food(perogies,stuffed cabbage ,etc)that is reasonably priced.Are there any restaurants that specialize in this downtown,or just delis? .I will not have a car,and am limited to public transportation.Thank you for your help in advance.
