  • Cuban fusion’s godfather, Douglas Rodriguez, grows up
    Back in the day, when I first met chef Douglas Rodríguez, he was doing improv at a Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, spot called the Wet Paint Café.

  • Viewers loved CBS the most during Valentine’s week
    During Valentine’s week, viewers were showing CBS the love. According to Nielsen Co. figures released Wednesday, in last week’s top 30 ranking, CBS could claim all but eight of the most-watched shows. And on Valentine’s night, CBS’ durable drama “NCIS” won the top spot with a remarkable audience of nearly 20 million viewers. For the [...]
  • Awesome thing: Dancing pirate sock monkey!
    Just as Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups combine two great tastes that go great together, today’s awesome thing combines two of my favorite pop culture items – sock monkeys and Flo Rida’s “The Club Can’t Handle Me.” The song is amazingly brazen (ambrazen?) about feeling that you’re so confident and cool that you’re too much for [...]
