What we’re reading, 5 food, drink and travel reads from around the web

Earlier this week I shared what I’ve been reading online; this came about from last weekend when someone asked me “who do you read?” the answer to that is like asking how many grains of sand are on the beach. Social media comes at you fast and it can be overwhelming, it’s challenging to keep up with [good] information. Locally in South Florida I read South Florida Daily Blog, just like the editor states on his site, he sifts through the news in the South Florida blogosphere [and aggregates it] so you don’t have to; this makes for an easy one-stop-shopping read. Other than South Florida Daily Blog, here are the food, drink and travel highlights of what I’ve read recently.
