Shane Co., a lifestyle jewelry company, recently detailed the most popular hairstyle in each state. Among men in Flordia, the look is very specific.
Shane Co.'s report explains that both newer hairstyles and old-fashioned hairstyles are all fair game. "Many of the popular hairstyles of generations past are making a swift comeback," they said.
How often do you find yourself talking about local sports while sitting in your local barbershop chair? Last night's game, how great your hometown team is doing, or what you would have them do if you were the General Manager are all fun topics commonly discussed while getting a fresh cut. The same holds true for that concert you went to last night or the new restaurant down the street that's opening up. Regardless, this setting allows for a lot laughs and a friendly banter you look forward to.
Using Google Trends, Shane Co. analyzed hairstyle search data for every state over the past 12 months. As a result, they found the most popular hairstyle for men in Florida is a very particular look.
The Curly Undercut
Here are the details behind a proper curly undercut. The sides and back of your hair are typically short or shaved down. As you move to the top of your head, your hair blends with a longer curlier flow. Then, how you style it is up to you. A common option here is a messy, just got-out-of-bed curly hair top. So, the curly undercut is a nice mix of neat and spontaneous. You can see what it looks like here.
North Carolina was the only other state in the country with the same popular hairstyle as Florida. Overall, the undercut was the most commonly searched men's haircut in the country according to Shane Co. They report six states had the undercut as the most searched style.
Two Florida Restaurants Named Among The Best For French Fries
Do you want fries with that? Tasting Table recently published a list of restaurants with the best French Fries in the country and two New Florida establishments were named.
"From high-end steakhouses and neighborhood brasseries' to fast food restaurants and even grocery store freezer aisles, fried spuds can be found in just about every type of restaurant or shop across the country," Tasting Table explains. Their feature is specific to non-fast food restaurants.
French Fries are always a fan-favorite whether a side dish, an appetizer, or just a snack. They come in all shapes and sizes. Shoe strings crispy versions, thick-cut steak fries, seasoned curly fries, waffle fries, and even tater tots (are those considered fries, though?).
French Fry Fun Facts
In a 2019 story published by the Daily Meal, they discussed unique facts on French Fries in America. Two of the most fascinating have to do with McDonald's. "Approximately 7 percent of the potatoes grown in the U.S. meet the same fate: they become McDonald's french fries," they said. They later stated that this fast food chain sells one-third of the French Fries consumed in the United States.
French Fries are like music. They are a common bond, and they are subjective. What one person prefers may be completely different from another. Better yet, both choices are correct.
For example, Best Things Florida released their list of best French Fries in the Sunshine State. It is completely different from Tasting Table's. However, Tasting Table went and explored all corners of the country to crown their French Fry kings.
The two restaurants in Florida that were recognized for having some of the best French Fries in the country serve two very different styles. One of them is part of a restaurant that has expanded to other markets. The other is served in a restaurant where fries compliment BBQ.
Broken Shaker - Miami
Located on 2727 Indian Creek Dr. in Miami Beach, Broken Shaker has fries that are so good, they even get their own line item on the menu. These are Shawarma Fries, served with Harissa ketchup. You can order them on their own or have the fries paired with any of their burgers or sandwiches. Although Broken Shaker does also have restaurants in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Madrid, their menus show a some different takes on their hand-cut fries in certain markets. For example, Los Angeles has Carne Asada fries. New York and Miami both have the Shawarma recipe.
The Polite Pig
"In terms of meaty all-American food pairings, french fries go just as well with barbecue as they do with burgers," Tasting Table exclaims. The Polite Pig is located in Disney Springs. They describe their menu by saying, "Our menu is inspired by the best seasonal food that Florida has to offer, bringing new twists to local flavors and BBQ." They serve waffle fries with a polite rub. They can be selected as a side to any dish or in a giant platter to accompany your catering order. In addition, sweet potato tots are on the menu as well.
