Monday Blog Notes

Time to highlight a few blogs/blog posts from South Florida folks that currently aren't appearing on the SFDB blogroll.


Fatgirl Hedonist

One of CBS 4's Most Valuable Miami Bloggers in 2011, Fatgirl Hedonist does restaurant reviews from around the state but concentrates on South Florida. What sets this blog apart from other traditional "foodie" blogs is that this "Hialeah fatgirl" will also tell you where NOT to go. In fact, she dedicates a space in the left sidebar to all those kinds of restaurants, calling the widget, "I Wouldn't Go There If I Were You." I've always hoped for a South Florida food blog that posts the positives as well as the negatives because, well, both are important when you're considering a restaurant, right?

Well, now we have one.

Speaking of where not to go, check out her latest post on Burritoville in Miami Springs.

Don’t bother with Burritoville, if you want Mexican food close to Hialeah go to Taco Bell before hitting this place up. Not only was the food cold and reheated not fresh and lacking flavor, saying the service was poor is an understatement.

Miami Nice

I've mentioned Miami Nice pop up blog here before. The last time, I believe, was when they stopped by Blue Collar and got some great photos of the food and the venue.

This time they check out a small out-of-the-way mozzarella bar in Miami called Ni.Do. Caffe.

While the cheese is delicious and most definitely a must-order Ni.Do. is really more about the ambiance, a welcomed departure from fancier, more uptight establishments, this place is a cool neighborhood joint (basil plants on the tables, friendly service and fans outside so it's bearable on the sweatiest Saturday) made for grabbing hang-over brunch with friends, an iced coffee and a seat outside.
