We're sure most of you have heard that Rick, formerly of Stuck on the Palmetto, is back today with the launch of the South Florida Daily Blog. To celebrate, we thought we'd ask Rick to be the first victim of our new feature*, one in which we ask local bloggers and other folks about their dining preferences. He gamely agreed, and here's what he had to say...

Name: Rick
Age: 46
Occupation: If I told you I would have to...oh, nevermind
City: Pembroke Pines

MP: What's your favorite South Florida restaurant?
Rick: I have to say Cafe Ragazzi in Surfside. I went there probably 15 years ago and just recently returned for the first time since then. Same energy and great Italian food makes it a memorable experience.

MP: What's the South Florida meal you crave the most?
Rick: Simple rice, beans and chicken with fried sweet plantains. Chicken Kitchen or Pollo Tropical will do.

MP: Which long-departed restaurant do you miss most?
Rick: Marino's @ Riverwalk in Lauderdale. It was good, solid food served at reasonable prices. I used to hit that place when I had to work in downtown Fort Lauderdale every now and then.

MP: A while back, our colleague at MenuPages Boston asked each of us what we'd want for our "last supper." If you could have anything at all for your final meal, what would it be?
Rick: My mother's Hungarian Goulash with a big slice of her blueberry cream cheese pie. She used to make that for my birthday every year.

MP: Strangest thing you've ever eaten?
Rick:Cow brains in Germany when I was a teenager. I wasn't told what they were until I was half done with them. Tastes like chicken.

MP: Will there be more food/restaurant coverage on The South Florida Daily Blog?
Rick: Well, I do plan on commenting on and covering almost all the blogs in South Florida, including the foodie blogs, so certainly that will be part of what I'm doing with SFDB. Don't look for any of my own personal reviews, however. I can't stand writing restaurant reviews. I'll leave that up to folks like yourself.

* We're kind of stumped in the naming of said feature. "Six Questions" is a little boring, and it locks us into a certain number of queries. We're uncomfortable with that. So we're asking for your help. What would you name this feature? The winner gets to be our next victim in the second installment.
