DID YOU KNOW? - All about wine glasses from Naked Grape in Fort lauderdale...

A key component in the pleasure of wine is its color and aroma. Therefore, wine glasses should be clear and large enough to let the aroma develop when the glass is a third to half full. Wine glasses are generally stemmed to help keep chilled wines cold and to minimize fingerprints on the bowl. Try to avoid serving wine in glasses that are too small as this will not allow the wine to breathe properly. For Champagne and other sparkling wines, use tall, narrow flutes to preserve the bubbles. Tulip shaped glasses are generally best if you are looking for an all-purpose wine glass because they feel balanced in the hand and help contain the wine's aroma. >>> more tips from The Naked Grape

REVIEW / Shin Ju Japanese Buffet in Davie

photo via Urbanspoon

NEW 7/21/11 via Brittany Wallman, Sun Sentinel
SCENE "The dessert area alone might be worth the price of the buffet... $16.95 adults, $8.95 children, eniors get $2 off. At lunch, it's $10.95 for adults and $6.95 for kids"
MENU "My husband declared the barbecue pork ribs transcendental, and also raved about the thinly shaved steak rolled around asparagus spears, as well as calamari... The best, though, was the maple salmon—small bites with a smoked quality, both sweet and salty. Delicious!"
PEOPLE "Friendly. When our daughter gave the lemonade a thumbs-down, the waitress nicely replaced it with a fruit punch.

HOW TO - Local chef / restaurant owner Steve Martorano makes fresh mozzarella...

EPISODE 1: FRESH MOZZARELLA
I always thought fresh mozzarella was difficult to make. But I decided if I was going to make a great product everything I put in it had to be great. So I asked my friend Peter (who's been making it for years) and that's when I realized this shit is pretty easy. So at my restaurants we now make fresh mozzarella, every hour.
