Let’s just say a happy wife definitely contributes to a happy dining experience for everyone involved. So, in the interest of harmonious meals, I’m sharing a few of […]
Kapow! Noodle Bar in Boca Raton isn’t just a place to grab a bite; it’s an immersive experience that tantalizes your taste buds with a vibrant explosion of Asian-inspired flavors. While their noodle dishes are legendary, on our recent visit, we embarked on a delightful journey through their exceptional dumplings, delicate shumai, savory short rib tacos, […]
Forget the early bird specials! My recent 8 PM reservation at The Warren American Whiskey Kitchen in Delray Beach shattered my expectations of South Florida’s late-night scene.

On the way to see a spring training game in Port St Lucie, we stopped by at Berry Fresh Café for breakfast. It was located in a strip mall with décor from the classic breakfast place like Denny’s or some other well know brands. Not that impressive. The food on the other had was amazing. It more than made up […]

This past weekend, we ventured down to the Yellow Green Farmers Market in Hollywood, eager to explore its touted offerings. While the culinary adventure was certainly memorable and enjoyable, our experience began with a bit of a parking puzzle. First impressions: parking is, indeed, a challenge. The market’s layout seems to funnel visitors through a […]
