FYI / Infographic Of The Day: The Definitive Guide To Crazy Coffee Drinks

If you go in for those fancy coffee drinks, you’re getting proportionately less caffeine than if you went for a straight shot of espresso, as this nifty Venn diagram, by the London-based graphic designer David Staffell, so clearly illustrates.

HOW2 / Triple-stack BLT - Bahama Robb's Kitchen In Miami

Boldly going well beyond just Doritos and Doritos Collisions, the Grove’s Kwik Stop awesomely enlisted a former military dude to head up a soul food kitchen dishing out slow-spun roast beef “Briby” sandwiches, conch fritters, beer-battered onion rings, mac 'n cheese, and his signature triple-stack BLT (which cooks a fried egg into the middle of a piece of bread), called the "Eye of the Storm" -- fitting, as after eating this, you'll be the only thing that doesn't blow away in a tornado.

REVIEW / Morton's The Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale...

SCENE the antidote to casual food, casual service and crowds in shorts and flip-flops 

MENU  No one does tuna tartar ($16) quite like Morton's....The 22- to 24-ounce bone-in rib eye ($53) is nicely marbled and tastes the most "beefy" of any steak.... Onion rings ($11) how do they get the batter so evenly crisp? ... The carrot cake ($11.50) is a thing to behold.

PEOPLE  Professional, friendly and just formal enough at these prices. 

DEAL Try Bar Bites for $5 and $6 during Power Hours.
