A Unique Food Tour in Buenos Aires
I’ve traditionally loved taking food tours when I travel. I think they are a great way to get a quick overview of a city’s cuisine. However, now that we are traveling slower, I haven’t taken any food tours recently. I’ve figured that given the extra time we have in each destination, I could discover the cuisine of each place on my own. And so, I didn’t initially schedule any sort…
Eating Bifanas in Lisbon – Just Like My Travel Hero
I distinctly remember putting Lisbon on my must-visit list after watching Anthony Bourdain visit Portugal’s capital city in 2012. I was struck by its old-world beauty, its riverside location, and especially its food. Anthony Bourdain taught me a lot. I loved learning about the world from him, and I try to emulate his experiential approach to travel. He is my travel hero. Sometimes I seek out places I remember from…
A Evening Quest for the Best Chicken in Lisbon
Before coming to Lisbon, I’d read that one of the favorite takeout foods in Portugal is Piri-Piri Chicken. When we travel, we frequently end up eating takeout in the evenings. Regular readers know that Mrs. TT works remotely on a US schedule, and so in Europe, that means we generally eat our weeknight dinners in while she works. My job in the evening is to feed us, and so dinnertime…
Eating Tapas in Spain – Is This Heaven?
I went to Andalucia Spain for the first time when I was 15. I was part of a large group of around 100 teenagers, and we toured many of the great sites in southern Spain for 2 weeks. I was hardly a foodie at 15, so food was not the major focus of travel then like it is for me now. Eating tapas in Spain is a foodie’s dream. During…
Seeking Out Great Korean Food in Las Vegas
I had long avoided Korean food. Which is odd because I love eating a variety of cuisines and discovering new food. Especially when I travel. In fact, I consider seeking out great food to be one of the great joys of travel. And I love every other kind of Asian cuisine. But for me, Korean food was taboo for decades. However, during a recent 24 hour stay in Las Vegas,…
Birria Tacos at Los Tapatios in Salt Lake City
I love tacos. In fact, it’s fair to say that a perfectly executed taco is my favorite food. And there are some great tacos in Salt Lake City. The Hispanic community in Salt Lake is large and there is no shortage of great Mexican restaurants to choose from. My daughter, who inherited my love of good food, had been telling me for several months about the Birria tacos at Los…
