In the countryside of Guatemala little variety exists in cuisine choice. The recent and long conflict that just ended in the 1990s (1960-1996) perhaps can be blamed for keeping travelers and other cultures away for years. So when I noticed a small Asian place in Flores, my curiosity peaked and I entered Sucia for a […]

As Namibian as Apple Pie – Africa’s best slice of Apple Pie
by Craig Zabransky on January 19, 2012 in Culture Thru Cuisine
I always ponder the quote, “there are no rest stops on the road of life” for its core truth, but thankfully when traveling across the barren landscape of Namibia rest stops, although limited, do exist. Yet, a stop in Solitaire provides more than just a chance to gas up, stretch the legs, hit the bathroom or […]

The Open View and Vista of Il Terrazzo in Flores, Guatemala
by Craig Zabransky on October 28, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
The small hills, narrow streets and colorful architecture can confuse. Visitors may believe they are on holiday somewhere in the Mediterranean instead of in Flores, Guatemala. To further the confusion, cafe Il Terrazzo offers tasty Italian fare with great views of the water. With a 2 for 1 happy hour special, a view of the […]

The San Pedro Spanish School opens its Cafe Puerta for Breakfast
by Craig Zabransky on October 17, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
Breakfast. Some argue it is the most important meal, and well if I were rising early and attempting to learn another language I’d make sure to eat a hearty one too. At the San Pedro Spanish school, in San Pedro on Lake Atitlan, breakfast is included with classes. The on-site cafe, called Cafe la Puerta, […]

Breakfast at the News Cafe
by Craig Zabransky on September 30, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
Better breakfast options exist on Ocean Drive when searching solely on food. But people flock to the iconic News Cafe in South Beach for good reason. It’s an institution. And you don’t see the Miami Herald or the NY Times at too many tables, the news shared here is not in the paper. This is […]

The Tropical Garden Brunch Adventure
by Craig Zabransky on September 29, 2011 in Adventure Mindset, Culture Thru Cuisine
Sometimes the setting makes the meal. Sometimes, it’s the views, and other times it’s the mission of a place that can make every bite taste a tad better. At the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, an exquisite brunch with an outside garden view made for a perfect Easter Sunday meal. Sunday brunch, buffet style, included unlimited […]

Tasting the Good Life in South Beach – Vita by Baoli
by Craig Zabransky on September 28, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
I firmly believe we all need to treat ourselves. We must take time to enjoy life’s many pleasures. For many, including myself, that occasionally translates into tasting great cuisine. Simply, food is more than subsistence. Good food makes a good day and great food makes for a great day. And when you travel to South […]

Miami’s Downtown Delight – Bin18
by Craig Zabransky on September 27, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
A few years ago, I searched for a place to spend time in downtown Miami. I figured I’d write, entertain a bite to eat and perhaps a cocktail; I held low expectations. But, I stumbled on a place I’d return to week after week and then again the following year. I discovered the downtown delight […]
