Mediterranean BBQ at Max’s Social House
Picked by Kevin Kaminski, Editor
“As much as many of us wish this were the case, not every barbecue demands chicken and ribs. Just ask our friends at Max’s Social House in Delray, which is hosting a family-style BBQ on July 30, starting at 7:30 p.m., with nary a half-slab of St. Louis ribs in sight. The menu does include all kinds of Mediterranean goodies, from hummus, baba ghanoush and stuffed grape leaves on the mezzes front to salt-baked grouper, grilled prawns and yogurt-marinated leg of lamb for main courses. The dinner is $45 per person. Call for reservations.”

Teavana Matcha Japanese Green Tea
Picked by Taryn Tacher, Web Editor
“When I was traveling through Japan and Thailand in May, matcha was in everything: matcha lattes, matcha-filled Oreos and even matcha Kit Kats. I have since been hooked on this vibrantly colored tea, so I recently picked some up at Teavana. I’ve been blending the tea with ice, skim milk and a little bit of sweetener to create my own matcha Frappuccinos, and they are incredible.”
Gabose Korean and Japanese Restaurant’s Korean BBQ
Picked by Cresonia Hsieh, Editorial Intern
“If you’re looking for authentic Korean BBQ, look no further. This Lauderhill restaurant’s charcoal grill BBQ is worth the drive. The BBQ is always hot, and the food is always tasty. Just make sure you wear short sleeves when you go because the grill heats up the room, and try out all the assorted pickles that come with the BBQ—they’re delicious!”
