Show mom you love her by naming her Mom of the Year.
Have you told your mom just how awesome she is? After all, she stood by you when you were suspended from 11th grade for setting all the frogs loose from the biology lab and cheered you on when you received a degree in "the history of animated films" from that correspondence school in Latvia.

Clearly, she's the best woman on the planet. To show her (and the world) just how cool she is, you should enter her in Duffy's Sports Grill's Mom of the Year contest.

Clean Plate Charlie Pranked The New York Times!

New York Times: We gotcha!
Every year, when April Fool's Day rolls around, Clean Plate Charlie is faced with the same dilemma: Do we write a prank blog post? The answer, of course, is yes.

The best April Fool's posts are the ones that could possibly be true as you read. Then, a few nuggets of information that are so outrageous they cannot ever be real are introduced to the story...sending out a signal to the savvy that this is a prank.

In the past, we've written about a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale that serves only "alternative proteins". In other words -- bugs.

This year, we decided to take on pop culture and cocktails with the opening of Mad Cocktails, a Mad Men-themed lounge opening in several airports throughout the United States. Happily, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

If ever you were going to attribute waffles to a country, it would be Belgium. It must be called a Belgian waffle maker for a reason, right? Well, apparently the rest of the world loves waffles just as much as the tiny nation. Today, March 25, is International Waffle Day.

In honor of the international celebration, Clean Plate Charlie decided to compile a list of the best American version of the honeycombed cake: fried-chicken and waffles. South Florida's five best chicken and waffles after the jump.

Why celebrate St. Patrick's Day only on Sunday when you can have a three-day long party?

If your pub just happens to be named after Ireland's most famous beverage, then you've really got to bring down the house -- and J.G. McGuinness in Weston is hosting its second annual Irish Fest this weekend -- complete with live music, bagpipers, Irish dancers, local vendors, food, and (of course) lots of Guinness).

Danny Szymanski, co-owner of J.G. McGuinness, said the second annual festival will be bigger and better than last year's inagural event. "We're looking forward to a fantastic weekend of fun with great food, and awesome entertainment." Look at this schedule of events and make plans to check out everything from the live music to the pancake breakfast benefiting the U.S. Marine Corp Scholarship Foundation.

Steak and BJ Day: Here's How to Celebrate It Tonight

It's time to pay back the flowers and candy.
Clean Plate Charlie interrupts our regularly scheduled blog to remind our readers of one of the most important days of the year -- Steak and BJ Day.

Listen up, folks. It's March 14. One month after Valentine's Day, celebrate Steak and BJ Day tonight!

It's basically payback for any man who treated his date well on Valentine's Day. The rules of the holiday insist that at this point -- if your man did the expensive restaurant, flowers, and champagne for V-Day -- then you must show some "love" on BJ Day.

Other than that, there are no restrictions. You don't even have to go to a fancy steak house for the dinner portion of your epic evening. In fact, we're willing to "stake" our reputation that most men don't care about how much you've spent on the steak.

With that in mind, we've come up with a list of places to take your man -- based on your relationship.

The second part of the night? You're on your own.

Real (Irish)men eat Ruben quiche.
This St. Patrick's Day, the B Ocean Fort Lauderdale Hotel is asking you to drink (and eat) outside the box.

Sure you could go anywhere and have some green beer and corned beef and cabbage, but have you ever asked yourself, "why on earth would I want to consume cheap beer laced with green dye?"

Instead, how about starting your St. Paddy partying with an innovative, yet still appropriately-themed brunch?
