The Avenue

THE AVENUE  |  FOOD

Best burger for your buck

Drew: Find yourself hungry on the weekend?  Then stay the hell away from Mac’s Drive Thru, ‘cause it ain’t open.  These two critics learned that the hard way, but that’s one of the few flaws of this classic Gainesville eatery.

Take a look inside, it’s a party in a box

There is no way to pack so much excitement into a single beer purchase as with a brewery sampler pack.  Featuring four to six different beers, usually spanning the entire spectrum from light to dark, a 12-pack of beer and a handful of friends can quickly become your very own beer-tasting party.

Crash diets, over-exercising won’t get you a beach bod

We hate to burst your fried-chicken-eating bubble, but Spring Break is a little less than three weeks away, and it is taking no prisoners. It will soon be time to show your friends from home that your college’s football team is not only better than theirs is, but your body is also way more bangin’.

Gone with The Wine

Usually, there is nothing more annoying than public broadcasting stations trying to raise money. Instead of Car Talk kicking off your Saturday morning, you have the pledge drive.

This week on iTunes

For those of you who weren’t tuning into the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver this weekend, you missed the wildly hyped debut of “We Are The World 25 for Haiti.” This 25th anniversary recording featured more than 80 of today’s biggest stars, including musicians and actors. Showcasing the vocals of everyone from Miley Cyrus and Tony Bennett to Mary J. Blige and Lil Wayne; the result is astounding.
