Slow travel. Eat Local.

This is Islington I haven’t been to London in about 3 years. And now being back, I realize I missed it. There is something about walking around this historical city – I always picture it being a few hundred years ago – which is easy to do with all the old row houses and […]

This town grabbed my heart as soon as we pulled down one of its narrow lanes. Shelburne was founded in 1783 and attracts all kinds to its charming streets of wood-shingled homes including Demi Moore and the crew of the Hollywood flick, the Scarlet Letter. The historic town rivals many in North America for its […]

Got Fish? Nova Scotia exports more seafood than any other province in Canada. During my time in this tiny Atlantic province I eat seafood everyday – from scallops to salmon to shrimp, it’s all fresh and delicious. For the Love of Lobster Ask anyone from all along the northeastern Atlantic seaboard how to make lobster […]

This is part of a multi-part series on Canada’s beautiful province of Nova Scotia. Like all places, Nova Scotia has its indigenous foods, many I’d never even heard before, let alone was able to spell. As I often tend to do, I found myself eating my way through this tiny province with no shortage of […]

Somewhere along the lines of traveling and blogging, I realized how much I write about, talk about, and just plain eat…food. It’s like the chicken or the egg sometimes: Do I love to travel because I love to eat yummy foods or do I eat great food because I love to travel? Just take a […]

New York City’s food scene changes as fast as the taxis whiz down 9th Avenue. Since I’ve been traveling and somewhat removed from Manhattan, there’s no way I can keep up with the hot spot’s openings and closings. This would be a full time job (one I hope to have someday). On a recent visit, […]

Typically big-box stores (a la: Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Target, etc.) and over-sized supermarkets have been an American import slowly spreading their bland conformity across Europe and beyond. But this is a switch. I first visited the mega-sized specialty market, Eataly, in Turino, Italy, in 2009. I’d pegged it as an all-Italian ‘Whole Foods’. My mouth […]

As a follow-up to my food porn photo essay on Hong Kong, I’d be remiss if I didn’t include these scrumptious photos of the morsels we enjoyed in Shenzhen. From a private dinner in the Futian Shangri-La’s presidential suite (wow) to a personalized multi-course meal at the Shang Garden, the food didn’t suck (see menus […]

Eating and traveling. Traveling and Eating. The more I travel, the more I learn about food, the more I love to eat. I love everything about it – the background on where it came from, the smells, the preparations, and of course the flavors rolling around in my mouth. It’s been an ongoing learning process […]

While in quaint Villa de Leyva, I stayed at the friendly and cozy Hostel Rana. It was opened about a year ago by Laura and Luis, a laid back and smiley British-Colombian couple. As I told Laura, theirs was really my kind of guest house. Keep in mind, a hostal is not a hostel. […]
