Green tea with milk and black bean at the Bangkok airport BlueCup Coffee shop. A bit lame, I know, but worth a mention since it was the first green tea beverage I actually enjoyed. Now I’m hooked on the stuff. This specialty drink was made up of equal parts green tea floating on equal parts…
So, Thailand….Where the hell to begin describing all the things I tried here, the experiences I lived through my taste buds? Might as well start with the first thing I woke up craving every single morning, the first thing I needed to transform from a tired, sunburnt, sweaty and agitated tourist into a real human…
Not too long ago, on a road-trip across the country, I visited Anchor Bar in Buffalo NY, famous for its claim to have been the birthplace of the buffalo wing. Established back in 1964 by a woman Dominic Bellissimo and his mother Teressa, Anchor Bar’s buff wings are based on a secret sauce (the “Frank…
A few weeks ago I attended a going away dinner for one of my colleagues at Aqua Tokyo Aqua Roma Aqua Spirit in Hong Kong. Located on the 29th floor of 1 Peking Road, with gigantic leaning glass windows oriented towards Victoria Harbor this place definitely has one of the best views in town. And…
Street food in HK ain’t bad. Or at least it has caused no problems thus far. My two favorites are the fish balls and the grilled octopus sticks. No doubt, I will have many more articles on street food in the upcoming weeks but for now, here is what I have found so far. A…

On a road trip with friends to Chicago, we stopped at Ann Arbor, at the fabulous Zingerman’s Deli for some sandwiches and to visit an old friend who happened to be working there. I would recommend this to anyone passing through the state of Michigan. A huge array of incredible cheeses, goat milk, sheep milk, camemberts,…
I had dinner at Nha Trang on Wellington Street the other night and it was the first meal I’ve had in a while that was flawless from beginning to end. It also was important to me because it served as a reminder of the fact that Vietnamese cuisine is by far my favorite and that…
I want you to think back on the last time you went to a 711. Having just gotten out of a work, a movie, a concert, you had 5$ in your pocket and were in search of a snack to go with your Arizona Iced Tea. What did you get? Ruffles? Fritos twists? Perhaps even…
The other day I stumbled into a pretty nice downtown eatery, a place with a menu that looked like this: After 2 weeks in HK, I am just now starting to get used to these extremely long menus, but one thing that nonetheless stood out to me was how at this place about a fifth…
That Best Bite
