Eating at Ancestrale in Copenhagen
Digitally stalking the city of Copenhagen on Google maps, I noticed a restaurant with a name that caught my eye. Ancestrale. It was just a short walk from where I was staying, so I made my way over. The interior was very casual. The wait staff shuffled around in shorts and sneakers. We relied solely…

Ask yourself just how much you really love Pop Tarts
Maybe, Pop Tarts hold a nostalgic place in your heart as the breakfast you held in your hand as you rushed out the door to make it to the school bus. Or maybe it’s the go-to snack you get from vending machines. Or maybe just maybe it is just pure sugar enough for you eat…

Flashback to a good meal at Hav and Mar
Back in February, I walked into Hav and Mar on a busy Thursday night. The New York restaurant was a buzz, fully of fashionable people. The hostess seated me quickly at the bar. The restaurant is one of Marcus Samuelsson’s. It is, in my opinion, an ode to the beauty of the cuisine in the…

This San Francisco chocolate tourist site is way overrated. Here is where I’d tell you to go instead.
The Ghiradelli Chocolate Experience. I had such high expectations, but alas it is not accurately named.

Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: In-room dining
I have already reviewed the room and gym at the Nobu Atlanta Hotel. Now it’s time to talk about the in-room dining experience. Being a Nobu property, you would be right to assume excellent food. Well, I did, I definitely went a bit overboard in ordering to try as much as I possibly could. Here…

Musings on croissants, Paris, and Louis Vuitton
Croissants are a treat I love making. Maybe it’s the desire to be a real baker, one who uses just her hands and muscle to knead the dough without equipment. Maybe it is just because there is no substitute for the buttery flakiness when they’re fresh out of the oven. As much as I enjoy…

Can’t afford a designer handbag? Why not make one out of cheesecake?
Scrolling through my google suggestions, I stopped when I reached a perfume bottle with Parfum de Philly written on it. It was blue, with a geometric sliver top, and it was definitely cake. Nervous that this meant that Google had successfully surveilled me and merged my interests into one ad, I clicked on it and…
