The Melting Pot Invites You To Go Skinny Dipping With Pitbull

Go skinny dipping with Pitbull
The Melting Pot is the kind of restaurant that you normally think of when you're in an indulgent mood.

For starters, you receive a vat of bubbling molten cheese, served with chunks of bread to dip into the dairy lava pit. You then quickly move through dinner, which consists of proteins and veggies (not bad), so you can get to the chocolate fondue dessert. Not the best place for that diet resolution, right?

Well, yes it is, if you order from their new Skinny Dipping menu, which features a three course menu that comes in under 700 calories -- including chocolate fondue for dessert (though sacrifices have to be made by substituting a salad for the first course of liquid cheese). The price is $25 per person.

Judging people is cool.
We'll admit it. Being a judge at a food event is all kinds of wonderful.

You get to eat delicious food, drink heavenly libations -- and critique everything. That's right! You get to do what your mom, every one of your teachers, and the bible have told you not to do -- judge others!

Don't believe us? Experience the supreme joy for yourself.

Clean Plate Charlie is curating this year's JA World Uncorked event on Saturday, January 19 from 6:30 - 10 :30 p.m. at Junior Achievement World at Huizenga Center at Broward College (1130 Coconut Creek Boulevard, Coconut Creek) and we need another judge. That, dear reader, could be you.

McDonald's Launches Fish McBites Video Contest: Win $16,500

McDonald's
We dare you to listen to this jingle.
In an effort to lure consumers with even more ways to get obese, McDonald's is launching their Fish McBites. Basically, pieces of every Grandma's Mickey D's staple on acid, these are little nuggets of battered and deep fried Alaskan Pollock with lots of fattening tartar sauce to dip them into.

The nuggets, which had a limited test distribution, will be launched nationwide in early 2013. And McDonald's wants you to make the video. Just listen to this incredibly annoying song (which basically has some extremely autotuned voice singing "fishy fishy" over and over again to a beat)  and create a 30 second video to go with it.

Miami Dolphins' Perfect Season Was 40 Years Ago; Shula's Steakhouse Celebrates With $17 "No-Name" Cocktail

The year was 1972. Head Coach Don Shula led the Miami Dolphins to their perfect season. It's been 40 years, and no team has done it since. 

Sure the Dolphins have had some missteps; President Obama even had to make a jab about their not-so-stellar record. But loyal fans are still commemorating that fateful year.

In celebration of the 40th anniversary, Shula's steak house is running some contests and specials.

WINTERFEST CULINARY CONTEST-44.jpg

Friday September 14, 2012 the sixth annual Winterfest Culinary Competition was held at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.

The winners got cash prizes; they'll also move on to cook for 400 people at the Winterfest White Party in November -- a prelude to the Winterfest boat parade.  Then, the night of the parade, the winner of the Best Overall Dish gets to ride on the grand marshal's boat. The value of such a prize varies from year-to-year. In past years, Kim Kardashian and Shaquille O'Neal have served as grand marshal; last year it was Barry Gibb. This year's grand marshal won't be announced until November.

Tasty? You bet!
Like the lions that roam the African planes, the lions of the ocean are mighty predators.

Well, not really. But these ferociously finned nonnative fish have managed to eat our tropical reefs bare.

Which is why Key Largo-based REEF -- short for Reef Environmental Education Foundation -- has launched a series of annual Lionfish Derby and Rodeo events, one of which is taking place in Palm Beach County.
