WingStop wants you to know they have protein
Scrolling down my feed I saw that Wingstop has a new offering: their Protein Pack. As they say, it is “packed” with 160 grams of protein. Honestly that sounds pretty good to me right now. But here’s the thing, isn’t just their regular wings with a compelling new name? Yes, yes it is just literally…

Mida is a must-go to restaurant if you’re visiting Boston
When I asked for restaurant recommendations on my recent trip to stay in the Seaport District of Boston, I was told that I had to go to Mida. It would be worth the trip. So there I found myself, taking buses and trains out to the South End location on a rainy day. I popped…

Tasting the cuisine at Fox & the Knife
Fox and the Knife is nestled in south Boston, technically walking distance from the Seaport District area hotel I was staying at. But it’s Boston, and winter is cold. We opted for a ridiculously short Uber ride instead a walk. We made a reservation at the bar, so we had no trouble being seated on…

In defense of visiting chains while traveling
I can be a bit of a snob while traveling. I only want to visit local restaurants, without franchises. I want to eat local and really experience the area and its scene. While I was in Chicago, I did my best to try new local restaurants. In return, I was met with watery lattes, bland…

This delightful coffee shop was the highlight of my Chicago trip
“Are you okay if we go somewhere a little further out? It’s my favorite coffee shop.” With that kind of Chicago local seal of approval, I couldn’t refuse. I went with my friend to take the voyage to Bueno Days. It was well worth the journey. This Little Village establishment pairs an homage to Mexican…

Okay, about the food at the Fairmont Millenium Park
Yesterday, I wrote about my room at the Fairmont Millenium Park. It was fine, but I can’t see myself coming back, especially adding in my assessment of the food. Room Service Night one, I ordered a burger from room service. It’s been the standard that I use to judge all in-room dining services whenever possible.…

12 Matcha: Overhyped or just right?
Hey in full transparency, I learned about 12 Matcha via a GOOP TikTok post. I was intrigued as I was planning my trip to New York. But come on, it’s Goop. Is this not just going to be some super expensive, super pretentious, waste of time? I didn’t know, but I was willing to find…

And now, the food at the Langham Hotel in New York
When I booked my stay at the Langham Hotel in New York City, I did it through American Express. That gave me daily breakfasts, a credit to be used for dining, and a whole lot of excuses to try the food. Multiple mornings, I started breakfasts in their dining room. On one side of the…

Fond memories of Le Jardinier
Two years ago, I found myself in New York City in the fall. It was a work trip, but I decided to make the best of my visit. I decided to eat well, even if I had to eat alone. I wandered down the streets and decided to head into Le Jardinier. To be honest,…

A Copenhagen restaurant to try: Vækst
As a foodie, I was well aware of the lore of Noma, the epitome of pretentious high fare dining the Danish capital. (If you watch The Bear, you’ll hear a lot about it there, too.) But elevated dining experiences in the city don’t stop there. Down an unassuming alley is Vækst, yet another Michelin starred…
