NEW TODAY/ Texas deBrazil - A Brazilian churrascaria restaurant chain now in Fort Lauderdale

Texas de Brazil is a very popular Brazilian churrascaria restaurant chain, with locations in South Beach, Doral and now Fort Lauderdale. This is definitely a place for meat-lovers, and those who are not watching their weight.
It is an all-you-can-eat restaurant. You start at the soup and salad area, and then the servers start bringing you roasted cuts of meat until you ask them to stop. Drinks and dessert are extra.

REVIEWS / Ken's "Juzzt Sayin" - What's Up With Sea Watch? New Decor, New Menu... Pis#@d Off Customers !

Ken's "Juzzt Sayin"

"Listen to me... recent Yelp reviews not so good... really" 
... Complained about the salad and actually got attitude from the manager. Amazing. Won't be going back. 
... Even the bread was out of a grocery store plastic bag I think.  I'll miss the place I used to take my hot dates to 35 years ago.
... The food now is below par. Really bland, boring stuff and still priced like it is fine dining cuisine.
... The portions are minuscule, the selection is very limited and the food is disgusting. The service was also terrible. To top it off the prices are outrageous. 
... I've been going to Sea Watch since the mid-70's. Unfortunately we had our last meal there today. I wish I had checked the reviews here before going; it would have saved us $76.

ARTICLE / South Florida Business Journal - by Susan R. Miller The "new Mancini’s will include an outdoor patio, outdoor sidewalk bar and a wood-burning pizza oven. Originally, Mancini said, he planned to open it in August, but “took a sabbatical” to get M Bar open, he said"

ARTICLE / New Times - by John Linn  
"The menu I've been developing for the past few years. We took a look at some places around the country and in Miami that have used this small plates tapas concept.Instead of doing Spanish tapas, we're using the phrase global tapas and incorporating cuisines from around the world."

ARTICLE / by Jan Norris @ Eat Beat "maple-glazed crispy pork belly with sauerkraut and jalapeno applesauce; cured Spanish mackerel with watermelon rind, cuke relish, olive oil and pea greens... Enrobed chocolate mousse with ancho caramel and banana cake with coconut sorbet and peanut streusel are desserts."

Krispy Kreme takes on Starbucks with oatmeal, doughnut milkshakes... they want to be healthier...but not that much healthier.

The chain known for glazed doughnuts and retro paper hats confirmed that it’s adding oatmeal, fruit juice and yogurt to its menu. 
Don’t worry, sugar addicts. Krispy Kreme is also testing a doughnut milkshake on its home turf in North Carolina, meaning that might be coming to your town soon.

"As a guest of the Key West Business Guild during their annual Pride Fest last week, I did not object to being introduced to some of the local restaurants that were gay-owned or gay-friendly. I don’t resent the few extra pounds I acquired as a result of this indulgence"

Naked Grape Moving

On the Move. . .
"we are going to be occupying the spot that formerly housed the Painted Pickle. It is merely a block and a half north of our current location. The advantage of this location is that it will allow us to bring you great, freshly made tapas items to accompany your wine selection. Many of you know this has been our goal for sometime. The ADA approved bathroom in the new location is another plus. In order to offer food service, an ADA approved bathroom is mandatory.

We intend to continue the same "lounge-y" vibe that defines the NGWB. Our color scheme will carry over with us, and for those of you who were fearful that we might move to Antarctica, we are pleased to be remaining on the Drive."
