The next stop on our East Coast roadie was Philadelphia. I was armed with an amazing list of places to eat courtesy of my friend Desjardin’s, Uncle Eric. Always excited to get a good recommendation, I was ecstatic when I received this thoughtful list of the high to low ends of Philadelphia eating. Knowing I … Continue reading »
We are on our way from Washington DC to Boston on a road trip I’ve dubbed “Roadie ’12″. In 6 days, we’ll cover over 700 miles and travel through 8 states and a District.

It was hot and I was tired so I thought I’d just wander through the Ferry Building Marketplace for the afternoon. As often as I’ve visited San Francisco, I’ve never had the opportunity to experience the amazing … Continue reading »
In my food loving opinion, the real taste of a city comes from its food markets, so with that in mind I eagerly anticipated visiting both the St Lawrence and Kensington Markets in Toronto.

I’d read a lot about the Brooklyn Flea lately and how it’s the place to go for delicious food truck dining. Couple that with my desire to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge again, we had ourselves a day. Continue reading »
