Day 899 – Rome, Italy – (Part 3) – Food Tour of Rome
Each region of Italy has a unique style of food and most of it completely unlike the food you will find in an American Italian restaurant. Rome is no exception. Its traditional dishes are very much alive today and enjoyed across the city. Like all Italian cuisine, the focus is on what’s in season…

St. John – March 1, 2022 (London, England)
At this point in my life, my list of must-visit restaurants is getting very short. When we decided to fly to the UK, there was only one place I wanted to go. I was an early fan of his underground nose-to-tail cookbook, a treasure trove of dishes that, aside from die hard foodies and industry…

Day 848 – Seville, Spain – The Best Tapas in Seville

Cervejaria Ramiro – July 7, 2021 (Lisbon, Portugal)
I normally do not review a la carte restaurants and never a beer hall, but this little spot was special and I had a wonderful meal. Ask any chef in Lisbon if you could only eat at one place in the city, more likely than not they’re going to suggest this locals spot hidden just…
