Tuesdays Are For Take Out
- Cheez-Its + Scrabble make for a fun way to occupy oneself during those long commercial breaks. Who knows? Maybe I'll finally learn how to spLel correkctly.
- I'm more of a waffle fan, but I do wish floppy, carby pancake lovers a happy National Pancake Day with tips on where to go to celebrate or get a free short stack of em or where to go to see the world's largest recorded stack of them. So... many... carbs... Oh, the humanity.

This past weekend’s food and drink bacchanalia The South Beach Wine & Food Festival was a gustatory blast.
Eats.com CEO Joe Ariel, Co-founder Derek Beckmann, and our Miami-based cavalier Johnny Munoz took to the events; Johnny documenting them via Twitter all the while.
Below: A tweet narrative of sorts, based on Johnny’s glorious entertaining mini messages.
[Editor’s Note: I am so going next year]
 Thursday Evening
Cruzan Rum After-Party hosted by Tyler Florence and Presented by Modern Luxury Media
So here we are at the official opening of the SoBe W & F with Tyler Florence!
“Tyler say something.”
“Welcome to the Wine and Food Festival. How many words can I say?”
“You have 20 left...”
“Enjoy the paella. I'll be with Oprah on Monday and Tuesday.”
So Tyler will be filling Oprah's belly with some of his comfort food.
We will be enjoying some butter bashed claws from Joe’s [Stone Crab] and it looks like the after party is heading to the after after party at Set.
Anne Burrell says, “Sand, sun, beach, beer, babes like you guys. What's there not to love!?”
Mario the bar chef says he's making the two best mojitos for Johnny and his sidekick Joe [Otherwise known as our CEO].

The Monday Has Landed
- Looks like Gordan Ramsay's Mini Me is slated to terrorize the halls of Hell's Kitchen.
- What's San Francisco's Tonga Room? Think Tiki Lounge, but with all the dry grass fixings and hourly indoor monsoons. But don't book your flight to visit the city's poshest tiki lounge, just yet - it might be bulldozed over for yet another luxury condo. Because the economy really needs another one of those.

   “Sex, Death and Oysters” is a book inspired by Texan journalist Robb Walsh’s expose on oysters from Galveston Bay, an article for the Houston Press by the same title. With Valentine’s Day come and gone and the New Amsterdam oyster benefit in full swing this weekend, Walsh’s book comes just in time. Whether you’re looking to amp up your already withering romance with a natural aphrodisiac post February 14th, or just looking for some pointers before heading out to the festival, Walsh’s brash humor and genuine obsession with oysters will certainly get you in the mood.

Y’all know
the drill. With the current recession upon us, people are still going out to
eat, but at more low- to mid-priced restaurants. In other words, burgers and
mac n cheese=good, foie gras and caviar=bad. Here are some of our recs for
quality comfort food, which will be sure to soothe your ailing wallet…
Burgers: It is impossible to argue or
claim what New York’s best burger is, so the criteria we used for this is
simply the burger that makes you feel happiest—it may not be the best burger,
but it is the one that you bite into and think “Yes. This is a burger and I am
satisfied.” So, we’re sorry Shake Shack because we do love you, and we’re sorry
Irving Mill because your burger is great but your restaurant is just too darn
pretty for comfort food. A comfort food burger should be big (too big?), juicy
and full of fixins’. Therefore, we gotta give it to Big Nick’s, who will put
basically anything on their burger from guacamole to pineapple to cream cheese.
 Mac n Cheese: S’mac can execute a near flawless mac—we think the secret is in
the cast iron pans. Although S’mac offers a wealth of combos, as well as a
build-your-own option, for pure comfort food, the only way to go is either the
buffalo chicken or the cheeseburger. Just make sure you have a couch to lie
down on after.
