Don't think too hard about the geography

You ever been traveling and meet someone who tells you they’re from Miami? Then you get all excited like you just ran into your first-grade best friend and say, “Me too! What part?” And then they hit you with something like “Parkland?”

Ok, pal, Either you really hate geography. Or you’ve never driven from Coral Springs to Coral Gables during rush hour and realized it might be faster to fly to Andalusia. Either way, lumping them together as one city is a little misleading.

I go on this county-line rant because I was recently wandering Broward County strip malls and found a spot called Miami Kabab. Checking my phone, I was 50 road miles from Downtown Miami, which in parts of Europe would involve crossing through four countries. But after trying their kababs, I realized they could call themselves Grand Forks, North Dakota Kabab for all I care because these grilled meat skewers were that friggin’ good. And if you’re anywhere near Northwest Broward, you need to stop in.
