Enough from me already!
I want to hear from you, so it’s time to enter the Lunch Week contest! I am sure you have a regular lunch spot —you know the one. Nothing fancy, but always delicious and a great bang for your buck. Share it with Miami Dish and you could be the next Man on the Street!
Just email me a few lines about why your lunch place should be known to all. Where is it? What are your favorite dishes and about how much do they cost? How much does a full meal cost? Pictures are not required, but they are definitely encouraged. Send your submissions to trina@miamidish.net. If you’re shy about using your full name, it's okay to just your first name or a pseudonym.
The winner will get prizes ... » Read more..

Here are some lunch links! I’ve combed the (mostly local) blogs to get some ideas for dishes that would make lunch-worthy leftovers!
Lately, I bring a large container of a main course to work. I leave it in the fridge there and enjoy the food over a few days. I have a bowl and a set of silverware that I leave at work too. I stash nuts, fruit, yogurt, or cheese for snack at work too, and then I don't worry ... » Read more..
Picnic Lunch

Since this is Lunch Week and it’s a long weekend, writing about picnics seems like a good idea. However, this does not seem like such an auspicious weekend for a picnic, unless you don’t mind a little rain and wind.
We South Floridians can sympathize with the poor folks at The Picnic Club in New York City. Their inaugural picnic was rained out for two months before they were finally able to hold their first picnic on June 1. Any further plans have been rained out.

Today, Lunch Week continues with an exploration of the ornate and detailed world of charaben. Charaben is like a bento box on cuteness steroids. This trend from Japan is the creation of artistic pictures and shapes within the bento box. Basically, every lunch is a loving [...] » Read more..

So there’s shark week (on Discovery), pork week (on Salon.com), and now there’s Lunch Week! If you’re like me, you’re still indignant about the fact that school now starts in the dead of summer.

Travels: Rosa de Jamaica in Guatemala

This simple drink is made from the dried sepals (the part that holds the petals) of hibiscus [...] » Read more..
