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…

Fried Egg I’m in Love, Portland, OR
I arrived in Portland on a cold December day. With 4 hours to kill before I took a train up the coast to Tacoma, I decided to walk around downtown as opposed to hanging out in the quant but admittedly somewhat depressing Amtrak station. I was looking for food when I came across Fried Egg…

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…

Dubh, Dublin Airport, Ireland
My most recent breakfast sandwich came after a mad dash at the Dublin airport. With only a 1 hour 15 min layover, I knew my connection in Dublin on my way to San Francisco would be a tight one. So when we sat at the gate in London for an hour with mechanical issues, I…

Mey’s Art Cafe, Bruges, Belgium
About an hour outside Brussels sits a cute little tourist town named Bruges. Many know it from the famous movie “In Bruges” that all my British coworkers kept saying I “had to watch”, but I’d never heard of it so pretty sure it’s one of those niche British things. The town itself is wonderful and…

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…

Biggi’s Cafe, Cala Millor, Spain
I sampled my most recent breakfast sandwich on the island of Majorca, one of Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain. About an hour and half from the main hub of Palma is a buzzing beach town called Cala Millor. With a great pedestrian strip and a pristine Mediterranean beach, Cala Millor isn’t the least…

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…
