Those were the words that Paris Hilton said the day after being released for her D.U.I. arrest while on her way to the Hollywood location. If you have ever eaten at In-N-Out, you know exactly the craving Paris had that night.

This West Coast chain triumphs over all others and is one of a handful of fast food chains we will eat at.

The Miami Heard points us to a lovely story where two Cuban-American partners chase a dream to open up a shop where they can serve "cafesito" and my favorite Cuban pastries "pastelitos."

Yiya's Bakery has now become a reality for Delsa Bernardo and Abbie Cuellar, however like most dreams this one needed a little help from a sandman. As in any restaurant venture, Delsa and Abbie soon came to realize the demanding permit and city requirements in order to open up shop. With a little luck, Delsa ran into Miami Mayor Manny Diaz, and once he tried the unbelievable pan con lechon the rest they say is history...

Pan Con Lechon is a traditional Cuban sandwich that is pressed much like a panini and made from simple Cuban bread, roasted pork, onions and the all purpose mojito sauce.

Support the dream and treat yourself to perhaps the most classic Cuban sandwich...enjoy!

The much-loved 5 Guys is finally hitting South Beach and burger aficionados couldn't be more happy. Taking over the old Dogma location (dogma will be missed on the beach but still open on 7030 Biscayne Blvd.), this new 5 Guys will be located at 1500 Washington Avenue.

No news on opening date, but you'll hear it first hear on b4b. Even Ronald is excited...

So in these tough times one might think that a minor league baseball team charging $20 for a hamburger is totally ludicrous, but then again you haven't seen this burger.

The West Michigan Whitecaps have revamped their ballpark concession items for 2009 and believe it or not the $20 burger is the menu highlight. Apparently, the burger is actually a good value weighing in at 5/3rds of a pound and can feed a small army.

The "Fifth Third Burger" (so-called because the Whitecaps play in Fifth Third Ballpark) is 5/3 pounds of grilled hamburger topped with lettuce, tomato, nacho cheese, chili, salsa and crunched tortilla chips. For those carb-conscious out there, all those fillings are sandwiched between an eight-inch sesame seed bun.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. The picture

The word BBQ comes from the Spaniard word "Barbacoa". The technique used by the Spanish colonist that settled in the Carolina's in the late 16th century brought this curious way of preparing food to the new found land. It was a tradition in "New Spain" to dig a whole in the ground (covered with leaves) in order to cook in entire goat. It's meat was then slow cooked (as well producing a succulent broth). This technique was then evolved into the modern BBQ.

The reality of this American original is that it is a complex mix of with different flavors, different cooking methods, different sauces, different rubs and different cultural origins reason why there is a need to have a year long Ribfest tour. One of the most ground breaking moments of the year in Florida is when the air in town gets charged with hickory smoke and country music. Our crew visited this 3 day outdoor grilling extravaganza tour stop in Homestead, Florida being able to have a first hand view to the competition. With more than 10 ribbers from all over the country and abroad we had the chance to taste, judge and share a piece of every different territory of the BBQ Nation in matter of hours. We were witness to a great BBQ fest and were able share some time tasting a little piece of the different corners of the country as well as spent some time with the winner crew.

We are waiting for this year's stop and will continue to share with you all the details about the different BBQ Ribsfests. We'll be visiting some of the country's famous stops and will be reporting live.

See you next time!

Lime Fresh Mexican Grill is one of the great spots to eat Mexican in Miami! Lime has been one of my favorite spots in Miami for years. Everything is good here. The Baja fish tacos are the best in South Beach! The quesadillas and burritos are amazing!

It is a great lunch spot. The service is outstanding and the food is served quickly. Note that the lines are always out the door and you may need to wait for a table (it's best if one person orders and another secures a table).

Lime opened in South Beach in 2004. Even though it has since expanded to other locations in South Florida, the South Beach location is still the best and the most popular. You can always spot celebs eating here. The B4B crew has seen Hulk Hogan here on many, many occasions.

They close nightly at 10:00 p.m. but it feels like they should close later.

Working in Miami Beach has its obvious perks such as; gorgeous models, great places for drinks, amazing weather and a little sandwich spot known as La Sandwicherie. Located down a side street next to T-Mex taco shop, this no table yet packed hot spot, is filled with locales eager to
munch on possibly the best sandwich on South Beach. This joint is known for its ultra fresh ingredients, homemade vinaigrette (which they bottle and sell) and at times its monster size sandwiches. My favorite without a doubt is the ham, turkey and salami on a croissant. If you add mozzarella, which I usually do, you might find yourself having trouble "approaching" this awesome meal.

Established in 1988, this contemporary South Beach icon has not only withstood the test of time, but seems to be a spot that's here to stay. Don't be thrown off by the French inspired name. This place creates an incredible sandwich fit the street foodie.

If you're up for a drink after your meal be sure to check out rough and tough Club Deuce across the street...you might run into Don Johnson and buddies.
