This is the first of a new Miami Dish column, which I’ve been chomping at the bit to start since the first days of the blog. “Man on the Street” brings you the dish on tasty, low budget lunch options from the men and women who work hard for the money. Back away [...]

In college, I felt intimidated and unmoved by the theoryheads at school. As I used to say: Macaroni and cheese or Foucault? Which one is of greater benefit to the world? You can guess which one I chose. The 7th Annual South Florida Environmental Ethics Conference sounds philosophical and lofty, but there’s nothing more practical than the food we eat and the soil it [...]

There will be another event on February 24. The Sunday dinner at Fratelli Lyon will commemorate that first slow food meal. In 1986, Carlo Petrini led [...]

Whenever I smell good strawberries — flavorful, juicy ones– they demand my attention. It’s so easy to pass their lackluster cousins in the supermarket, but the ones from Knauss Berry Farm demand a full stop. Their aroma is heady with memories of childhood visits to the Farm in Tata’s Chevy Nova. My grandparents and aunt [...]

Bill from tinkering with dinner was wondering what to do with the ginormous bunch of [...]

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. This is Michael Pollan’s succinct nutritional advice. I’ve never heard such a common-sense diet rule. Pollan is a fascinating and level-headed writer on the topics of food, nutrition, food policy, and cultural food habits. Pollan’s new book, In Defense of Food, hit bookshelves this month. [...]

Winter Farm Day Sunday is Winter Farm Day at Bee Heaven Farm. CSA members, Slow Food members and local farmers will lunch al fresco at this annual potluck. There will be music, scarecrow making for kids, and samples of student chef recipes. I’ve never been, so I’m looking forward to meeting other [...]

My mother does most of the cooking for our Thanksgiving. Even though she is Venezuelan, she serves a traditional Thanksgiving meal. We typically eat turkey with golden-crisp skin, raisin-flecked stuffing, Portobello mushrooms sautéed in butter and garlic, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. My aunt adds spinach casserole or arroz con leche. [...]
