When I travel to Mexico breakfast often, if not always, translates to Chilaquiles Verde. Every trip and everywhere I dedicate one morning (if not more) to tasting my favorite Mexican Breakfast dish. What are Chilaquiles? Simply stated, the dish originates from a peasant’s meal (as many great dishes do) with “day old” tortilla chips baked, […]

The Super Grouper of Clearwater, Florida
When visiting Clearwater, Florida I made sure to sample the seaside city’s cuisine and experience local culture through cuisine. All noteworthy destinations have a special meal, a delicious dish, and in Clearwater, Florida it is all about the Grouper. Every restaurant has grouper on the menu… You’ll find grouper fingers before chicken fingers. The fish […]
Raicilla-Mexican Moonshine That Makes Me Happy
On a recent trip to Puerto Vallarta and the Mexican state of Jalisco, I discovered a new spirit. Certainly most visitors selecting a holiday in Puerto Vallarta know its proximity to Tequila (the town) or they learn quickly. Tequila can be found most everywhere and in most varieties and price points, but on my last […]
Grandma Knows Best- Mexican Culinary Knowledge Transfer that Benefits Us All
There was not a better sight at the FMGM conference in Acapulco. Nope.

Not just any tacos either, nope – Tacos al Pastor. What is a Tacos al Pastor? Besides delicious? The taco is actually fusion…Lebanese spices […]
Not Reveling in the Pizza from Revello’s in Old Forge, PA
Old Forge, the (self) proclaimed “Pizza Capital of the World,” is a place I’ve wanted to visit for nearly a decade. It’s been on my list since I first heard about the pizza in 2004 and I finally visited Old Forge and stopped at Revello’s Pizza (voted one of the best in town) for a […]
Postcard-Mexico’s Golden Treasure
Mexico offers many treasures to its visitors. The list is endless. But one of its true golden treasures remains accessible to all- the corn tortilla. On a morning walk through the “pueblo magico” (magic town) Creel in Chihuahua I stumbled upon a Maseca; a place where corn tortillas are made early in the morning (usually […]
A Few of My Favorite Tastes of Amsterdam
A tour of any city must never be rushed. To truly appreciate the urban landscape, one must meander its streets (or canals) and spend time getting a bite to eat. Yes, one must taste a city’s offerings. And Amsterdam offers many delightful tastes to enjoy. Here are three of my favorites. the Amsterdam Breakfast Sandwich […]
