Our First Tapa-The Original Pincho
Our first Tapa, according to the locals of San Sebastian Spain was the first original prototype for all other tapas to follow. It helped to create a new way to dine-the culture of standing and snacking while drinking and meeting with friends and loved ones. This is a tradition that is alive and well today. […]

Getting Acquainted with Albuquerque
Albuquerque we found to be a big city with a friendly feel. We went into the area already with a list of places to eat, provided to us by our friend Jen Eden, who grew up in Albuquerque. Though we couldn’t eat at them all, we did make it to a local pizza chain call […]
Sumptuous Santa Fe
Red and green chilies, blue corn tortillas, pink adobe—Santa Fe New Mexico is a very colorful place. This town is packed with local art, culture, and flavor to match. Our stay in this mountain art city began to pique our curiosity for southwestern art and flavor, and satisfied our long-standing craving for hot and heady […]

Hits and Misses on the Mississippi
We often relay on locals we meet options and tips when making our dinning chooses. Always asking for local specialties and where we would find them eating on their lunch hour, we want to get a true taste for the area. Some time this works out really well,, other times, well we miss the ball […]
What’s a Po’ Boy to Do?
The city of New Orleans has a lot of incredible food, but if there is one dish that feeds the Crescent City it has to be the Po’ Boy sandwich. The Po’ Boy sandwich also travels further than the rest of New Orleans’ world-famous cuisine and can be commonly found all over the United States–especially […]
Southern Doughnut Breakfast

Deliciously sweet, fried dough isn’t the healthiest of breakfast, but I think every now and then, there is a special place for eating doughnuts and it can be well worth the calories. Whether enjoying the famous French beignets at Café DuMonde or American […]
