Roast and Toast, Sowerby Bridge, UK
When I first came over to the UK, there weren’t many counties or regions I could have named off the top of my head. To be quite honest, I probably would have struggled naming all 4 of the countries that make up this country. One place I would have gotten though is Yorkshire. Located up…

The Great American Bagel Bakery, San Jose, CA
On a recent trip out to the United States for a wedding and to see my brother, I had a bit of time in the San Jose airport. As far as food goes, San Jose international has somewhat slim pickings when compared to the bigger SFO just up the road. After walking the length of…

Mediterranean cafe – London, UK
Soho is a bit of a mixed bag of places. On one hand, you’ll find some of the best restaurants and cocktail bars in London. in some ways, it’s the definition of living in a big city, bursting with life and people. It makes you feel excited and alive. On the other hand, it’s chalk…

Dishoom, Covent Garden, London, UK
Someone once said to me that London is a world hub because it’s “at most 10 hours from just about anywhere”. Cape Town? 10 hours. San Francisco? 10 hours. Dehli? 10 hours. Add in that this was at one point the center of one of the biggest empires the world has ever seen and it…

Leon, Stansted Airport, London, UK
My latest adventure started much earlier than I would have preferred. Leaving for the airport at 4am on a Saturday is always bleak, even when you’re getting to do something cool like go snowboarding in Bulgaria. The drive through clapham featured scenes of the infernos crowd flocking to Taco Bell before stumbling home after a…

Napa Farms Market, San Francisco International Airport
On my most recent trip out of SFO, I swung by one of my old favorite airport food spots, Napa Farms Market. I’ve found that, for the most part, airport food around the world is rather unhealthy and greasy. In classic California fashion, Napa Farms Market is an exception to that norm, offering quiet a…

Milk, Balham, UK
Along the Northern Line corridor in Southwest London is a neighborhood called Balham. Historically, Balham has a reputation of being a bit “stabby” but recent gentrification has caused a slight shift towards bougie as the Clapham crowd has crept south. This has resulted in a quieter downtown with that gives off a bougie vibe like…

Box Sociaal, Amsterdam, NL
My first foray into breakfast sandwiches on mainland Europe happened during a recent trip to Amsterdam to visit some family. The trip happened to coincide with Pride, making for a packed, festive atmosphere all weekend. Desperate for a breather from the crowds, we ventured out into the calmer neighborhoods. Due east of Rembrandtplein and just…

The County Seat, Prescott, AZ
In the high dessert of Arizona there’s a sleepy town named Prescott. Once the capital of Arizona, it’s now split between being a college town for Embry Riddle university and being a retirement community. The downtown is a classic small town square surrounded by all kinds of boutiques, shops, and bars. One of which is…
