Celebrating Fort Lauderdale’s culinary artistry, wellness journeys and the flavors that set 2025 apart.
Happy New Year! As we step into the new year, we’re excited about what lies ahead. January is all about fresh starts, and in this issue, we’re celebrating just that—renewal, inspiration and of course, great food and wine.
Let’s start with one of the season’s most anticipated events: DINE Fort Lauderdale. This annual culinary series kicks off this month and promises to be more spectacular than ever. With five unforgettable evenings of wine-paired dining, it’s a feast for the senses. Whether you’re savoring a perfectly seared filet at Morton’s The Steakhouse or indulging in the iconic flavors of Timpano, each night supports the Emeril Lagasse Foundation, making it an event as meaningful as it is delicious.
We’re especially thrilled to announce our new wine partner, Go Wine, whose carefully curated selections will elevate every course. This partnership brings wines as diverse as our culinary scene, and we can’t wait for you to experience the perfect sip with every bite.
On the topic of extraordinary dining, this month’s Chef’s Corner highlights Theo’s Estiatorio, a Greek haven in the heart of our city. Owner Theo’s passion for Mediterranean cuisine is evident in every dish, from the delicate, olive oil-kissed branzino to the house-made baklava that feels like a hug from the Greek gods.
If you’re looking for a new way to fuel your New Year’s resolutions, head to Grateful Juice Bar, also featured in this issue. From cold-pressed juices to nourishing smoothie bowls, they serve up health in every vibrant color. It’s wellness that tastes as good as it feels.
Our January issue is brimming with more inspiration, from lifestyle tips to features that spotlight the people, places and events making Fort Lauderdale shine. Whether you’re diving into the culinary magic, discovering your next favorite wine or soaking up the stories that define our city, we hope this issue starts your year off right.
Here’s to a fantastic 2025 filled with flavor, adventure and the unparalleled spirit of Fort Lauderdale!
