Review: Wok Box, New Style Asian Fast Food in the Springs
When my editor mentioned this new restaurant moved into Coral Springs, I knew I had to try it because I am an Asian noodle fiend. I love Pho, Pad Thai, and Lo Mien dishes. So off I go down the yellow brick road of University Drive to this joint.

Hidden Treasure: Mamma Mia, it’s Carrabba’s Italian Grill!

Jet’s Pizza Soars into the Springs
I remember seeing this pizza joint in Pompano years ago. When I first drove by, the only thing I could think of when I saw it was the New York Jets. I was thinking to myself, Are you kidding me? A NY Jets Pizza place in Miami Dolphin’s country?
Review: Ayotli Mexican Restaurant in Coral Springs
I love Mexican food. I love spicy food. While Mexican food isn’t always spicy it often has great flavors, and if it’s spicy all the better. Granted, usually when I say “Mexican” food I am referring to the typical Americanized Tex-Mex style.
Dan I. Cook’s Hidden Treasure: Breakaway Bar and Grill
I don’t need a weather person to advise me that it’s hot as hell outside. My grass is dying and there has been no rain in sight. I can’t even walk my dogs without sweating like Elvis on a bad day. Even my pool feels like a hot tub, and I don’t even have a heater.
On the Road with Dan I. Cook: Ahoy Mates!
