The Miami Herald in 60 Seconds - Using Food Bank Staples, Shrimp Shack and Grannies Got Pad Thai


pan con lechon
  • Cook's Corner offers tips for an out-of-work reader who doesn't know how to use the instant potato flakes they got from the Food Bank. Hint: They do more than just thicken soup!
  • • Oh the Shrimp Shack is a little old place where we can "eat with the fleet!" Shrimp Shack bay-bee. (In Key West!)
  • Asian buffets popularity on the rise with the budget-dining crowd.
  • • Cuban coffee and pastelitos on the menu at Yiya's Gourmet Bakery, a "dream come true" for a Miami couple who used pan con lechon (shown above) to convince the mayor to help them green-light building permits.
  • • Your grandparents have finally discovered pad Thai, and they're flocking to Origin Pan Asian & Sushi to eat it. The Herald likes it too. They've given it three stars.
