    Best Barbecue in Miami
    15400 Biscayne Blvd.
    Top Chef alum Howie "Bulldog" Kleinberg's little barbecue shop in Aventura might look a bit too suburban and clean to house the kind of 'cue that sets your heart aflutter. But don't sell Bulldog Barbeque or the chef short, because his operation is...

    Best BYOB in Miami
    3201 N. Miami Ave.
    No corkage fee. The minds behind Egyptian Pizza were going out on a limb when they settled on a Middle Eastern/pizza/Middle Eastern-pizza concept for this casual eatery. But you know what? Falafel on a pizza is kind of awesome. Go ahead, judge ...

    Best Ice Cream in Miami
    1626 Michigan Ave.
    It's a small shop just off Lincoln Road. In fact, it's very easy to miss the Frieze. But that would be a real shame, because it makes the best ice cream in town. Everything is homemade using 16 percent buttercream. The Frieze produces it all witho...

    Best Fries in Miami
    1548 W. 84th St.
    A thunderstorm rages outside the Original Ranch House when a vintage Chevy truck pulls into the parking lot. A man clad in a poncho, plaid shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots climbs out of the driver's side. He high-steps to the front door and swings i...

  • Best Public Golf Course in Miami
    6700 Crandon Blvd.
    Greens, fairways, sand traps, blah, blah, blah. The exact dips, bunkers, and hills vary from course to course, but for the most part, many golf courses look like pretty standard seas of grass. Of course you can get your club on at any of these spo...

    Since 1789, the chicken wing has been part of the U.S. Constitution. (Read the fine print, people. It's all the way down at the bottom before you get to the part that says Americans are obliged to dress in cheesy outfits for patriotic holiday obse...
