You leave town for a few days and the entire restaurant scene changes I came home to discover that the Fort Lauderdale landmark riverfront restaurant, The Downtowner and its next-door venue, Maxwell Room, will close on Sunday, Oct. 6 after 30 years.
TacoWa in Boca Raton is part traditional Korean restaurant, part fusion and all of it is interesting, I just wish it was more exciting.
One of the perks of being a food journalist (I hate the term restaurant critic) is that I sometimes get invited to tastings when restaurants are introducing their menus or adding items to their menus to members of the press.
Given the date of this issue (7/11), I just couldn’t help but be inspired by the famous gas station/convenience store chain for a column.
