A Sandwich a Day: Saucisson Sec at La Sandwicherie in Miami, FL
Located in the back street of Washington Avenue on Miami Beach, this sandwich spot is acclaimed to be one of the best in Miami. The open-air bar setting with the simple, vibrant-colored decor gives off a casual mix of French and Miami feel. Saucisson Sec ($7.40) is the most popular on the menu and is filled with paper-thin salami and fresh brie cheese.A Sandwich a Day: Cuban Sandwich from Puerto Sagua Restaurant in Miami Beach, FL
Though less well-known than the touristy Versailles restaurant, Puerto Sagua is still a must-go for Cuban food in Miami. Don't get intimidated by its location, where many high-end, chic restaurants cluster—this is as cheap as a great sandwich in Miami Beach can get. There's nothing complicated about this authentic Cuban: ham, Swiss cheese, mustard, and another layer of roast pork stuffed in slightly toasted Cuban bread that resembles French baguette, but tastes fattier, with crispy edges.Cook the Book: 'Michael's Genuine Food'
When thinking about Michael Schwartz, the James Beard award winning chef and owner of Michael's Genuine Food & Drink, it's important to take into consideration where his restaurant is: Miami. The city of beaches, bikinis, blender drinks, and more recently the South Beach Diet, it's often associated with "Florribean" cuisine, the Caribbean style of cooking using Florida produce. But when Schwartz opened Michael's in 2007, he brought his own Florida-centric take on American food to Miami. This week we've got our hands on his newly released cookbook, Michael's Genuine Food—enter to win a copy here.Ed Levine's Caloric Journey, Week 162: Vacation and Doughnuts Are Not a Righteous Path
Yesterday we had a doughnut tasting at SE World Headquarters. On a Thursday, no less. The day before my weigh-in. Now I know full well that doughnuts are not on the path to weight loss, or even weight control. Doughnuts are one of the big holes in my weight control game. But what would you do if you were confronted by an entire conference table filled with doughnuts? Well, I know what I did. I tasted a bunch then left the room.Video: Farming Siberian Sturgeon For More Than Just Caviar
The Mote Marine Laboratory's Siberian Sturgeon Program in Sarasota, Florida, has spent over a decade developing recirculating aquaculture technology as an eco-friendly and sustainable way to grow farm-raised sturgeon in the United States. In the latest episode of Food Curated, documentarian Liza de Guia gives us a tour of the facility with Program Manager Jim Michaels.Mobile Museum Focuses on Poor Working Conditions of Florida Ag Workers
In 2009, Barry Estabrook wrote an in-depth piece for Gourmet about tomato pickers in the Immokalee region of Florida. He detailed the near-slavery conditions that farm workers faced as they were forced to work long hours for very little pay, live in filthy and cramped conditions, and remain on the farm against their will. The Florida Modern-Day Slavery Museum is a mobile museum currently stopping across the country, seeking to spread the word about the horrible living and working conditions of these tomato pickers and farm workers.Florida: Sundaes, Burgers and Nostalgia at Jaxson's in Dania Beach
It's always ice cream weather in Miami, but even if it weren't, that wouldn't stop droves of locals from waiting in line at Jaxson's. A true fixture—it's been around since the 1950s—Jaxson's delivers far more than the best ice cream in the greater Miami area.Not Your Typical Doughnut-Related Breakfasts at Buddha Belly Donuts in Sarasota, Florida
Doughnut-centric blog The Blognut has come back from a four-month hiatus to bring us a review of Buddha Belly Donuts in Sarasota, Florida. You could just get a plain glazed doughnut, but why would you do that when they also make doughnut breakfast sandwiches and doughnut French toast? According to their Facebook page, they also have weekly doughnut specials, this week's being a Cookies and Cream-filled doughnut. I'll take one of each.Food at the Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando
