    New Orleans Beignets Three Different Ways

    December 7, 2020 / No Comments

    New Orleans beignets are legendary. They are synonymous with the destination and just one of those things you need to sample when in NOLA. The city of New Orleans is known for its spirited nightlife, raucous bachelorette parties, and an abundance of internationally inspired foods. Perhaps nothing is more synonymous with NOLA though than beignets. Everyone makes them and has their own slightly unique take on the fluffy doughy sweets. New Orleans Beignets Recently, I went in search of New Orleans best beignets and what I found might surprise you. So, what’s all the fuss? And more importantly, what are beignets anyways? To be completely transparent, before we visited Louisiana…

    Three Days of Play in Rochester New York

    October 29, 2019 /

    “Play is the highest form of research,” – Albert Einstein It had been years since I last set foot in Rochester New York. There was a time Rochester was a destination Canadians visited for the weekend, when they wanted to shop and save money. Shopping bags loaded with clothing, shoes, and the occasional bottle of rum or whiskey, we’d return satisfied and armed with Christmas presents for everyone, but not before that final stop at the Duty Free store. This is how I remember Rochester, New York. We were guests of Visit Rochester while in the city which means we received accommodations, meals and entrance to all attractions in exchange…

    Visit Richmond, BC and Your Taste Buds Will Thank You #IFWTWA #RichmondMoments

    March 28, 2017 /

    Visit Richmond, BC, and your taste buds will thank you. This bustling city has so much going for it. Richmond is known for its beautiful waterfront, gorgeous sunsets, and vibrant city. It is the fourth largest city in British Columbia. It’s bustling with people enjoying everything from the arts to shipyards, but for me the biggest asset here is the memorable Asian culture, and food experience. Whether you are planning a trip near Vancouver, in BC, Canada, or visiting Richmond on its own, you will remember this city. Visit Richmond, BC and Find Something for Everyone Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, pop culture fan, or a foodie, Richmond has something for everyone. This eclectic…

    Cruise Dining Packages Are They Worth It?

    October 11, 2016 /

    Cruise food can be amazing. The buffets and regular dining rooms are superb and as fancy as you wish to make them. But, if you want a richer experience then you can opt in to the specialty dining rooms, so long as you book and pay in advance. Cruise food packages are an expense that people are always up in the air over. Is it worth the extra cost? Aren’t meals included, anyway? I just paid for an entire all-inclusive cruise, why would I pay even more for a cruise dining package? These are all the questions that people – including myself – ask themselves when they’re trying to decide…

    Viamede Resort’s Inn at Mount Julian – Best Meal I Have Ever Eaten

    April 19, 2016 /

    Food as an Adventure The Inn at Mount Julian is an unassuming, intimate, cozy space. A part of Viamede Resort, the Inn is part of a century old, newly renovated family and couples resort, on Stoney Lake in the Kawarthas area just north of Toronto. A fine dining experience, grounded clearly by the area’s landscape and the abundant local farms and resources, the Inn at Mount Julian is exceptional. The resort and The Inn subscribe to a locavore food philosophy that means all the food is locally sourced. This is the story of the meal I almost didn’t eat. It was a near tragedy, but in the end is a love story…

    Fat Matt’s Rib Shack – Interesting Atlanta Restaurants

    April 21, 2015 /

    It was our last night in Atlanta, Georgia after a great blogging conference last year in May when my roomies and I decided we hadn’t seen anything much of the city. That’s the problem with conferences in great cities. Sometimes you rarely have time to set foot out the door. So we determined to go shopping and hit a local restaurant, something that screamed Atlanta, Georgia. Conference food, while occasionally incredible, is also often either truly unhealthy, or dainty or overly sweet. While I loved the conference and got a ton of takeaways from it, my sweet tooth was aching from all the lemonade and adorable little sugary confections we…
