Miami Beach, Special Feature, Wag Wednesday , , , , ,

Over the past year, we’ve interviewed many members of the hospitality industry, and one constant among the interviewees has been a profound love for their pets. We thought it would be great to share this love with our readers. That’s why we launched an ongoing feature called “Wag Wednesday” to showcase industry peeps and their pets. Know someone who wants to be featured? Email us at bark@miamifoodpug.com.

This week, we’re featuring Eli Jackson, Executive Chef at STK Miami Beach, and his pup, Champ. Read more

‘I Recognize That Place’: Ballers Edition

Special Feature , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Ballers-DVD-3D

Here’s a fun fact about Miami Food Pug: We love Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. We’re also suckers for any show filmed in the Magic City. When it was announced he’d be starring in an HBO comedy filmed in Miami, we were ecstatic.  We literally counted down the days to the Ballers premiere.

Watching The Rock’s character Spencer Strasmore, a retired NFL player turned financial manager, navigate the football and financial world with all its ups and downs was fun, especially with unique characters like John David Washington’s Ricky Jerret. Side note: Did you know that’s Denzel Washington’s son? Now you do! Plus, how could you NOT like a show that has pugs in the opening credits?

While we watched the first season — out on Blu-Ray and DVD today — we found ourselves saying “I recognize that place” so many times that we thought we’d put together a guide to all the restaurants we could spot.

Find-Me-A-Home---Pinch---Taz

Orange-Chocolate Soufflé from PINCH Kitchen in El Portal

Taz is an 8-year-old sweetheart of a boy needing a new forever home! He was very loved by his previous family, but they didn’t have the time they felt he deserved. So they did what was best for him and are letting CPR find him a family who can spend lots of time with him! He is totally house trained, loves to be around people, is great with kids and other dogs, and has SO much unconditional love to give! He does have limited vision and is on daily eye drops.

Let my CPR know if he would be a perfect fit for you by filling out an adoption application at www.compassionatepugrescue.com.

#FindMeAHomeFriday is a campaign by Compassionate Pug Rescue and Miami Food Pug to help South Florida pugs find a forever home. Each Friday this month, we will be photoshopping a rescue pug available for adoption into an MFP food picture. For more details on the original campaign, visit the campaign page.

#FindMeAHomeFriday: Pepper – Nikki Beach

Special Feature , , , , ,

Find-Me-A-Home---Nikki Beach---Pepper

Bacon Bloody Mary from Nikki Beach on Miami Beach

Hey everyone! This is Pepper. He is 11 years old, but young at heart. He loves walking around the house and outside when his doggy arthritis isn’t bothering him. He takes medicine to help him out and gives no problems when taking it. He enjoys lying in his bed and taking comfy naps. He really loves meeting new people and gets along with everyone he meets.

For more information on this handsome fella, visit his adoption page.

P.S. If you are not able to adopt him and would like to be his foster angel, please make a donation in his name! He is one of many seniors who sadly end up in a shelter — but thankfully CPR is there for old fellas like him!
