Smokehouse Grill & Wingery – Bona-fide BBQ

smokehouse_feature

Let’s start off by commending the Smokehouse for using the word ‘wingery’ in their name. A term Wikipedia, dictionary.com, and all my spellcheckers have not been able to process as of yet. From the outside, the Smokehouse in Boca doesn’t look like much, but the atmosphere inside is pleasantly surprising. The interior is clean and …

Maoz Vegetarian – Feelin Like Falafel

japango_feature

I think I’ve said it more than once; I’m a pretty big fan of Asian cuisine. Sushi, Thai, Chinese… I like it all! That being said, my tongue has tasted many an oriental dish and has become a bit discerning. I can appreciate some good takeout now and again, but also have high regard for …
