Cowy + Gotham = The Deuce Burger
Daniel Machicao of Cowy Burger here in Miami and Mike Puma of The Gotham Burger Social Club in NYC collaborated on a new burger introduced over the weekend. The Deuce brings together the best of both award winning eateries and is loaded with flavor. Although math isn't for everyone; the equation Cowy + Gotham = The Deuce Burger is an easy A+. Thank you both for naming your mouth watering creation after Mac's Club Deuce!

Chef's Kiss
Laine Doss over at Miami New Times has all the places you want to hit on the beach during SOBEWFF this weekend. While we don't kiss and tell in real time, we always appreciate a post and a mention after the fact. One of are all time favs is Chef Anne Burrell who shared with Doss, "It may be a total dive bar, but there is just something that I love, love, love about Club Deuce!” To that chef's kiss we raise our glass.

Every Good Story
We believe every good story starts at Mac's Club Deuce and it seems Scottish author J. B. Turner agrees. Often mentioned in newspapers and magazines, this time The Deuce is featured in a novel! Turner included everyone's favorite dive in his latest Jon Reznick thriller.

Legendary Friends
It's been nearly a decade since Anthony Bourdain first walked into The Deuce and struck up a conversation with Mac Klein. There isn't a visit to Miami that Anthony doesn't stop to see his friend Mac. He does just that for the Miami episode of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, now in it's fifth season. It's fitting that Bourdain opened the episode with Mac, a man who celebrated his 100th this past year. With over fifty years as the sole proprietor of Mac's Club Deuce and nearly

Bourdain's Notes
Anthony Bourdain is a man with many notes. Taken of decades in the kitchen and beyond, Anthony is an observer of the world around him. Bourdain's notes are also personal, like these, thanking Mac Klein, Iggy Pop, Michelle Bernstein, and Questlove for sharing their Miami with him.

Cooper and Bourdain in the kitchen
Some say the best stories are told in two places; in the kitchen and at a bar. Anderson Cooper and Anthony Bourdain talk the latest episode of Parts Unknown–Miami–while making a meal. We love the fact that even in the two minute fifty-four second clip, it is impossible for Bourdain to NOT mention our very own Mac Klein and we don't blame him.

Forever No. 2
This week staff writers at Miami New Times came up with a list of 100 Things to Do in Miami Before You Die. They joined forces at The Deuce devising their list on the back of our coasters as they downed cold beer and cheap drinks. At least, that's our story and we're sticking to it. Chances are high Deucers have crossed many of these things off their list; or at minimum numbers 2 and 25.
We are, Forever No. 2

It's all about The Deuce
On his latest trip to Mac's Club Deuce, Anthony brought along one of our neighbors, legendary tattoo artist Chris Garver from Miami Ink. Like Bourdain, we consider Garver a friend of The Deuce and like true Deucers these two stopped by for a day beer after Chris provided Anthony with his latest tattoo. Whether you live or vacation in Miami, stop by and see why Anthony Bourdain says, "It's all about The Deuce."

Our Cream Bunker
When you've been around for 82 years not much surprises you anymore. That's not the case today with the publication of famed Scottish author Irvine Welsh's new book, Crime: A Novel. We know many Deucers consider themselves well read and they've spotted Irvine in our beautiful cream bunker during his visits to Miami over the last decade or so. We're sure Duecers will know exactly who he's describing in this scene as he meticulously recounts the interior of Mac's Club Deuce.

Home Away From Home
We can't say when we first met Anthony Bourdain, but we know it was well before his latest visit. Like many, Bourdain thinks of Mac's Club Deuce as a home away from home. It's fitting for anyone considering our proprietor, Mac Klein has felt the same way for over forty years. It's always a delight when old friends walk through those double doors and this time it meant a little more. Check out the South Florida episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Season 1 Episode 9.
