![A few words, before we eat. It’s a hard time to run a restaurant, all the stories say. Many have closed, many are struggling to keep staff or customers, or both. Carlos & Pepe’s, La Bonne Crepe, the Historic Downtowner and Maxwell Room – all institutions – are just three of the most recent casualties of the trend. Optimists that we are, and always have been, our annual issue devoted to all things edible – and drinkable – begins with 50 Great Reasons to Eat & Drink in South Florida.

![A friend in witness protection confides that no one ever offered her pot. Like it’s a life failing. “Nobody in high school, nobody in college,’’ she says. “I’m not disappointed, but I am well and truly a dork.” I’m not sure what to say to my friend in witness protection. I’ve never thought of not being offered pot as a character flaw or sign of dorkiness. Quite the contrary. (My 91- and 92-year old parents, who likely are reading this, would agree.) “I guess people back then didn’t offer you pot because they sensed your intelligence, drive and seriousness of […]](/wp-content/uploads/migration/2015/03/01/L3T45LX7NBCIRMX3N23NPK4XG4.jpg?w=405 "A friend in witness protection confides that no one ever offered her pot.

![The curtain falls, the crowd stands, the curtain rises again. The cast behind the curtain looks out on the crowd. They’ve come back on stage for one final bow, and to take in the crowd standing in the theater. Except the crowd is not standing for an ovation. Well, most of them, anyway. They’re standing because they’re already halfway up the aisle on their way out to the parking lot where, no doubt, another crowd of cars is waiting to get out. Why are they in such a hurry to beat traffic they know they won’t beat, I wonder.

![I’d like to introduce you to some fascinating people living here in South Florida. Not only have they made career niches for themselves, they are also extremely passionate about what they do – and the wine they drink. I had the opportunity to learn more about them and ask them about their affinity for wine. Alec Ingold Ingold has embraced his time in South Florida since joining the Miami Dolphins as a fullback in 2022. “I’ve had some terrific experiences since becoming part of the team.
