Last time, we tackled the food scene in Mozambique’s capital, but where are you going to rest off your food coma during the interludes when you’re not chowing down? Hopefully, not in your bowl. Compared to other major cities, Maputo’s lodging options are sparse. Also, their prices will confound you. A generic hotel room (think … Continue Reading
The past few years have essentially consisted of my two best friends and I following each other around the world, which I am NOT complaining about. This time, our adventures coalesced in Maputo, Mozambique, where one of my lovelies is toiling in a public health internship for her Master’s program. Her undercover mission is to … Continue Reading
Once upon a time I journeyed to Cape Town for a two week jaunt and willingly got stuck there for a month and a half. What does that mean, aside from the fact that I set really poor personal boundaries? Well, most obviously, it’s symbolic of Cape Town’s being a bona fide tourist’s delight. More … Continue Reading
My favorite part of working at The Glutton’s Digest (aside from eating 6-10 times a day) is encountering people who love their jobs as much as I love mine. When these people are directing their passion towards making food, you can taste the difference in their products. If you are happy with what you are … Continue Reading
Hi guys! Just wanted to shoot you all a heads-up that The Glutton’s Digest will be on the road for the next month and a half, working on our U.S.A. Road Trip series. Since most of our recent travel has been international, we’ve decided to hit the highways for some food and fun that’s a … Continue Reading
It’s time for our second “Cool Cats of Cape Town” installment. If you missed our introduction to this series, along with our piece on Nigel Wood (Cool Cat numero uno), feel free to check it out here. Then, we can mosey along to our second subject. Would you get a load of this first-class cutie? … Continue Reading
When I was younger, I had a peanut butter problem. In this case, “younger” means approximately two years ago and “problem” means that I could easily house half a jar of peanut butter per day (we don’t call this blog “The Glutton’s Digest” for nuthin’!). If I wasn’t spooning it directly from jar to mouth, … Continue Reading
My long-term memory is rather blemished when it comes to mentally cataloguing my travels. One time I sailed for six hours to another country, the whole time thinking how I couldn’t WAIT to sink my teeth into the place for the first time. Imagine my bewilderment as I disembarked the boat and immediately recognized my … Continue Reading
Our investigation of South Africa before arriving was cursory at best. We have friends in Pretoria, and we trusted that their recommendations upon our arrival would cushion our transition into the country. In 2005, I saw Tsotsi, an exceptional film (based on a novel by South African author Athol Fugard) about a conflicted Johannesburg gang … Continue Reading
…on honey, that is. Remember when we dedicated five full days to Savannah Bee Company’s honey and the recipes we concocted with it? I ate honey by the jar-full that week, which was nothing short of perfect. My consumption hasn’t subsided much since then, despite traveling constantly and not knowing where I might find my … Continue Reading
