After hitting up Pittsburgh and Cleveland, we swung through Chicago for a quick blip. The windy city merits years of food exploration, making our three short stints there feel like a tasty tease. This time, to cover more ground, we ignored the temptation to return to our tried and true favorites (Moto and Goosefoot). Instead, we offhandedly … Continue Reading

Oscar Pistorius has been stealing South Africa’s limelight lately, but since the country is so much more than a high profile murder trial, I thought we’d do our part to shift the focus to happier topics. We’ve already detailed our favorite meals in Cape Town, so today we’ll discuss our top ten Cape Town activities. … Continue Reading

It’s now our fifth month experimenting with A Taste of Thai’s products. Oh how time flies when you’re eating Thai! We’re still living in Bangkok, attempting to eat somewhere different every day. We initially thought that food directly from Thailand’s culinary capital would surpass that of A Taste of Thai, but we continue to find that … Continue Reading
