Story 1: ‘Attach love to it.’ Eatery that started in Pines gas station expands in Broward
Chef Reece Kitchen, a Jamaican fusion spot that first turned heads inside a Pembroke Pines gas station, has outgrown two locations and has now moved into an even larger Davie space to keep up with demand.

Neighboring Miramar is gearing up for the 20th annual A Sip of Wine … A Taste of Heaven festival, a signature food and wine event that draws more than 1,000 people to sample dishes and drinks from local restaurants. Organized by the Miramar Pembroke Pines Regional Chamber of Commerce, the night mixes tastings, live music and several friendly “Best of” competitions.
