Food Events on the Radar

"Thank you very much! Try the veal."

​• Matisyahu in the sky with... Cajun-rubbed cowgirl rib eyes and ahi tuna? That's the idea, anyway, as the Hasidic reggae artist will perform a special, free show at Sky309, also known as Roxy's Rooftop Bar in West Palm Beach. The food and drink outfit will be unveiling a new menu of big and small plates on March 11, with live cuts from Matisyahu's new album serving as backdrop. Seatings are between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m., and dinner guests will get a prime seat for the jams -- all you've got to do is make a reservation. Visit roxyspub.com for more info.

Lots more food events after the cut.

• The Green Gourmet is now expanding to include sit-down dinner service. Chef-owner Joey Giannuzzi added a number of tables inside and out and will be serving dishes like vanilla rum-glazed Caribbean mahi mahi with warm five-bean salad and avocado mousse, organic oven-roasted chicken with baked new potatoes, and pomegranate-glazed wild king salmon with toasted almonds and golden raisin cous cous. Giannuzzi is also organizing a Sunday Green Market that will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front of the store.

• Japanese hibachi chain Benihana is offering a -- get this -- Saint Patrick's Day special throughout the month of March in each of its South Florida restaurants. Diners can share a shrimp and chicken dinner for two for $35, complete with green tea. A host of specialty cocktails to coincide with the holiday include the "emerald punch bowl" made with Midori and "kiwi crush" with Kettle One Vodka.

• Good news for fans of cocktails and small bites -- Steak 954 is adding a Sunset Menu to its repertoire. The steakhouse from Stephen Starr will now stay open from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. daily and offer a selection of raw bar items plus plates such as big eye tuna tacos and dry-aged beef sliders, plus specialty cocktails from the bar and a small but competent craft beer list, too.  

• Join celebrity chef and owner of 8 oz. Burger Bar, Govind Armstrong, along with master sommelier Andrea Robinson for a live cooking demo with wine pairing at the Macy's Culinary Kitchen in the Aventura Mall. The event, going down on March 13 at 1 p.m., is entirely free. Reserve a spot by calling 305-682-3352.
