|
Miaminewtimes.com - If you grew up in Miami, chances are you've eaten at Shorty's Bar-B-Q. Edward Louis "Shorty" Allen, who built the restaurant from a barbecue stand to a multilocation chain, died April 21 at the age of 104.
The restaurant serves standard barbecue fare such as ribs, brisket, coleslaw, and corn. New Times hails it one of "Miami's top ten barbecue restaurants."
Although he built his empire in Miami, Allen was originally from Georgia, moving to South Florida in the 1940s. He opened the first Shorty's in 1951 and operated it until 1980, when he sold it. His nickname was earned from his diminutive stature; he apparently stood five-foot-five. Continue |

“It’s very scary as a restaurant owner because I’m sure people avoid coming here because of the rating,” Wells told us. ”The customers who do come in ask me about why the rating is so low.”
Wells also says that a Yelp representative cursed him out after he declined to buy advertisements from the site. Continue |

Gold Cupcakes with Platinum Icing! |
|
|
Monday, 15 April 2013 15:22 |
|
Mark Moreno - What if your restaurant sold cupcakes made of gold? or how about platinum? Sounds totally ridiculous I know but please hang with me for just a second. Gold costs $1,700 an ounce and the platinum icing for your cupcake would run almost $1,800 an ounce depending on how much shortening you could use. So lets start making cupcakes without a recipe and presume that we would use an ounce of gold in each cupcake and an ounce of platinum icing, If we were only off one tenth of an ounce on each cupcake that would change our unit cost by about $360 a cupcake!

Tampabay.com - The PlayPlace is the first of four "evolution" play areas the world's largest hamburger chain is testing in Florida. If successful, McDonald's may expand the concept nationwide.
The playgrounds were designed to become destinations for families with younger children in the chain's never-ending quest to grab market share from Chick-fil-A, Subway and even Starbucks. Instead of running in and out, people can eat a meal and tap into Wi-Fi while their kids play a few feet away.
