Your Evening Sift



I spent a nice day down on South Beach so expect to see some pictures some time tomorrow here at SFDB. Here's your Saturday evening Sift...

A- All Purpose Dark tells us and shows us what Sunday brunch looks like at the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami.
So you take a deep breath and heave yourself from the sun-filled dining room that offers views of Brickell and the sparkling bay and make your way over to the dessert annex - yes, it needs it own room - and follow the suggestions of the young pastry chef who is patiently manning the multi-tiered display of sugary confections that you almost, almost, feel guilty destroying with your gluttonous fork but you do so anyway because this is the Four Seasons and it's Sunday morning and you probably won't eat for the rest of the day, hell, the rest of the week because it's all. Just. So. Good.
B- Carlos Miller apparently thinks an SFDB post that I did earlier today was all about him.
Yes, I have weaknesses. I have imperfections. And believe me, I have stress. We all do.

But I’ve never been accused of rape. Ive never been accused of slipping a pill into a woman’s drink to knock her out. I’ve never been accused of holding a gun to a woman’s head. And I’ve never been accused of threatening to kill a woman. Especially a woman I supposedly love.
C- Rakontur features another outstanding article yanked from the Miami Herald's archives. This one is a 1982 investigative piece written by Carl Hiaasen.

D- Miami, bro shares her exploits from last night that started at Churchill's and ended at Mt. Sinai Hospital.
After the show, as we ladies were leaving, my friend suddenly felt ill and passed the f*ck [-Ed.] out. She hit the band's van and then the gravel, and luckily one of the roadies, who looked a little too clean cut, helped her into my car. I have to say, the whole crew of them were compassionate as my girls rushed to the aid of my lightheaded friend. In order to avoid the fright of the Jackson emergency room, I rushed my friend over to Mt. Sinai, which is a pretty clean, quiet place.
E- Local Motion Miami has a few photos from last night's wine tasting at the Cork and Bottle in Kendall.

F- Shorter babalu...
Let's protest going green by driving up our electric bills!!!

G- The Chowfather gives Boubon Steak a great review.
Had another great meal over at Bourbon Steak. This place is a steak house but there really is much more to this place than that. I went with the 18oz bone in ribeye and it was excellent. Cooked perfectly (medium rare) and packed with flavor.

Carlos Miller is a narcissistic tool, please stop mentioning him on your blog, it only fuels his belief that he is relevant.

F- Can these guys tie their shoes without help?

F: Funnier still is Poodle's hooraying G20 prime minister's reaction to calls for more spending, despite the fact that Germany's solutions include forced antionalization of banks and France is talking about a reformed (in ways that conservatives would call outright "socialistic") global financial system. Basically they don't think Obama's plan goes far enough. But Poodle doesn't get that. Poodle really has a dog's mind, able to focus only on the loudest stimuli.

B - I'm sure he doesn't think it was all about him, but rather is making a point of what he thinks of police officers. Right or wrong, its his opinion, one I can't say I disagree with completely.

F - Anon, if Carlos Miller is not to be mentioned then why mention the blow hards at Babalu? These guys just don't get it, and they never will.
