POUTINE!!!
During a recent hotel stay, the 24-hour menu featured a dish that was new to me, or at least something I had never heard of before – POUTINE. Described as shredded braised short ribs over french fries, smothered in cheese, I knew that downing this dish in the wee morning hours would provide a luxurious [...]

Being a frequent jet setter has offered me special perks with particular airlines… Free baggage checks, priority access, upgrades, and VIP treatment that makes traveling fun and easy!

I loathe a buffet, but I love a great breakfast! And what I learned during my recent stay at the paradisal RIU RESORT in Ochos Rios, Jamaica this past weekend, is that I’ll readily forgo my disdain for buffet-style food when the recipes are international, beautifully displayed and quality and freshness are blatant at first [...]

Aside from its rich history, one of the best things about living in Harlem is the vast variety of food options! And although most are unhealthy options, from Soul Food to Mediterranean, Chocolat to Red Rooster, bodegas to fast food, the dining choices in Harlem seem endless. As someone who has lived most of my [...]

While in Brazil, I definitely had my fair share of pasta, but it would be remiss of me to not talk about the dinner and meal I had at GERO RISTORANTE! Last Sunday night a group of friends and I transcended in the “Beverly Hills of Sao Paulo” – the neighborhood known as Jardins. Down [...]

One thing I’ve noticed about Brazilian cuisine is that it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to escape the carbs! From the national bread (Pao de queso – a delicious and addictive cheese bread) to the nation’s Italian influence of pasta and risottos, there’s no way to avoid those pesky [...]
