Is The Egg & I Restaurant All That it’s Cracked Up to Be?
I have a confession to make: I hate eggs. You see, I was traumatized as a little boy by some jerk kid whose name was probably Johnny who told me eggs were baby chickens….

The winner of the Best Burger in Coral Springs 2015 has been decided by our judges and it was a tough one. First off thank you to all of our judges and to Big Bear Brewing Company, Burger Fi, and Lefty’s Tavern and Grille. We had a great time at each place.
Dan’s Wife is Hot – So He called Air Around the Clock
Six years ago I bought my AC unit from Air Around the Clock. I’m a huge fan of the Joe Rose Sports Show on WGAM and it was because of Joe’s horrible singing of ATC song that made me hire these guys.
Where’s the Beef? Your Choice for Best Burger in Coral Springs
Coming fresh off my Char-Hut review, I was approached by my editor about running another poll. This time it’s who has the best burger in Coral Springs. If you’ll remember, a poll was conducted on Coral Springs Talk about who had the best happy hour…..
Review: Brio Tuscan Grille’s Newest Location
Take an intermission from that strenuous holiday shopping and recharge with a glass of red and a “Tuscan escape” at Brio Tuscan Grille. The baby sister of Bravo! Cucina Italiano has now expanded to Plantation.
Doris Italian Market and Bakery: I’ve never felt so Italian!
So I get an email from Ira who contributes to Coral Springs Talk and he recommends that I should go and review Doris Italian Market. Basically, I told him that was piece of cake. Man, I’ve been a big fan of this joint since I moved to Coral Springs and I’ve also written about them on Yelp.
Char-Hut in Coral Springs: It’s About Damn Time!
Growing up in Oakland Park, there were your basic fast food joints like BK, Mickey D’s, and Wendy’s. But we all knew that if you wanted if you had a little extra coin in your pocket and you wanted a solid burger, you went to Char-Hut or Jack’s Old Fashion Hamburgers.

Last month Coral Springs Talk took a poll for the best Happy Hour and readers decided that Tavolino Della Nonna was number one. Our Facebook followers even swore by this place, so a deal is a deal and we set a date for us to stop by and find out what everyone was talking about.
Rob’s Bageland: Why I Love Good Jewish Food – NOT New York Style Food
First off, the New York Jets suck!
The reason why I started my review that way is because I’m not a fan of New York Style food.
The Micky D’s Dollar Menu Beats All Others
Like most high school kids, I worked at McDonald’s. It was almost a rite of passage working for Micky Ds. The pay wasn’t that great, but getting 50 percent off all food purchases…..
MedExpress Coral Springs: Fast and Professional
By: Dan I. Cook My primary physician took a trip to Russia so my dad and I were stuck without a doctor. My dad got that chest congestion crap that has been going around so I asked my buddy about a good urgent care joint. He recommended MedExpress. I took my dad, and walked in. MedExpress […]
Review: The Good and the Bad of Local Public Transportation
By: Dan I. Cook So for years I wanted to ride the Coral Springs Community Bus. Growing up, I used to take the county bus from St. Clements School in Wilton Manors to downtown Fort Lauderdale. For some crazy reason I liked it. I used to listen to my little radio and people watch. In the Marine […]
Runyon’s Happy Hour: Old Becomes Hip and Cool
Runyon’s is not just your dad and mom’s old school steak house. Many times I’ll mention hitting Runyon’s and someone will say “Man it’s too expensive” or “Isn’t that where all the old people go to eat?”
Salsa Fiesta: Meet the New Boss Same as the Old Boss
That line from The Who song “Don’t Get Fooled Again” ran thru my mind when I walked in to Salsa Fiesta’s newest location in Coral Springs.
Where is a Bloody Mary Bar In Coral Springs?
By: Dan I. Cook On Twitter I follow several restaurant/bars and dread the early morning tweets advertising all the Bloody Mary drink specials in Broward County each Sunday. For instance, Tarpon Bend has a Bloody Mary served with Bacon, celery, olives, and a cheeseburger slider tucked on top. The Downtowner Saloon has a “Make your […]
Coral Springs Styling & Barber: A Local Fixture Since 1971
By: Dan I. Cook I’ve been going to the Coral Springs Styling & Barber for over a decade back when it was located at the northeast corner of University and Sample. This was when Publix was still open and my beloved Carvel Ice Cream was a few doors down. According to their website, they opened back […]

Folks, it’s that time of year again that waiters love to hate at Red Lobster: those two months every fall they have their Endless Shrimp promotion. This is your cue to come on over and devour an entire school of shrimp in one sitting.

Benihana Review: What’s Happened to this Place?
By: Dan I. Cook Inevitably, it had to happen: my first bad review for a restaurant. This week I visited Benihana in Coral Springs. I am the biggest fan of Benihana, so when my daughter asked to go here for her birthday with friends of ours, I was like, “Hell yes.” Now let me point […]
