BestWorldYet, Pizza in Naples

We visited Naples twice on our Amalfi Coast Journey; once for a night on the way there, as well as an impromptu pizza-stop on the way back. There are plenty of pizza places to choose from in Naples, but there's one that was recommended by all of the locals as the best pizza in Naples. L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele Via Cesare Sersale, 1 / 3 80139 Napoli Like many of the pizzerias in Naples, Da Michele's is a family run spot with traditional methods, resulting in that perfectly chewy pizza crust Naples is known for, that have been passed down for generations. The history of this sacred, Neapolitan Pizza temple [...]

Chamonix – Apres Ski for Foodies

I'm fortunate to say that my travels through Europe have been extensive. As a person with a genuine love of skiing and mountain towns (I used to live in Park City),  I lamentably had never had the opportunity to ski Europe's famed Alps, that was at least before this past holiday season when I had the memorable chance to do so for the first time! A short trip schedule meant we had only 2-days of skiing (and 2-nights of dining) to enjoy, so our agenda needed to be tightly planned. We embarked on an extensive search for the best Alps skiing experience that could be accomplished with limited time. After [...]

Drinking & Fooding at Don Bernardo

Sometimes you just need to go out on a food adventure. I have to credit my girlfriend for really pushing to go out on a night where I was headed for a Doner Kebab and bed. Part of the travel experience is getting out to sample some of the best of a city's restaurants. We were only going to spend two nights in Valencia and our first night's dinner was a bit odd to say the least. We got into the city late and on a Spanish holiday to boot. As such, our restaurant options were few and far between. We settled on a pre-fixe menu, hoping to be sated [...]

Bodegas y Viñedos Casa del Valle

Is there anything better than good food? As with most questions I ask, here comes my own answer. The only thing truly more enjoyable than good food is good food on the road. Travel just seems to make food taste that much better, and good food taste sublime. My girlfriend and I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Spain in October and I would be remiss not to mention a few of our foodie highlights. A multi-destination trip, we landed in Madrid with the plan to then drive to Valencia with the final leg comprising of a train to Barcelona, from where we would fly home. While I would [...]

Bartule

Shaken, not stirred. With a twist, on the rocks or maybe straight up. No matter how you take your drinks, a good set of bar tools is essential for getting the final product to come out properly. One furniture designer believes that he can replace your myriad of bar gadgets with one do-it-all gizmo called the Bartule. I must admit it certainly has a unique look. The Bartule has an interlocking, compact design combining everything you'll need run your home bar including: an ice bucket, bottle opener, corkscrew, jigger, citrus juicer. The ice bucket lid also functions as a salt rimmer or wine coaster. Each tool fits together to createan [...]

Juicebox Wine

CalNaturale Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines are the first and only California wines made from certified organically-grown grapes. Well, they're not exactly the only organically grown wines, but they are the ONLY organic wines available in Tetra-Pak flexible packaging. Yes, that's the 'juicebox'. CalNaturale wine's packaging is certainly more environmentally friendly than the bottle (if not quite as romantic). The box utilizes less than half the greenhouse gases, waste and energy. Though the box packaging may be a little out of your comfort zone, remember that the screw cap was also for a while. So it's not traditional, but it is lightweight, unbreakable and easily re-sealable. There is not a [...]

Black Pig Meat Company

Bacon! Almost nobody amongst us will argue against this culinary delight. Heck, even most vegetarians will admit that it smells amazing. A friend of mine who once told me that nobody could be satisfied by a salad, then also proclaimed that all foods were made better by bacon... Though I strongly disagreed with his first premise I tended to cede to his second dogmatic tenet. Cheeseburger, bacon cheeseburger. Potato skins, potato skins with bacon bits. Sauteed shrimp, bacon wrapped sauteed shrimp. The list goes on and on. Yes, everything truly is made better by bacon and nowadays chefs and food producers alike aren't stopping with the savory. My first bacony [...]

Just Buns!

I have to state before even getting into the taste of these delicious confectioneries, that I absolutely love the name of this company. I mean, who amongst us would actually have the moxi to name their company 'Just Buns'?! It's such a catchy name that succinctly defines the company and the product, the name is a real winner, so how about those buns? I generally support almost any food company that chooses to specialize and excel rather than be a jack of all trades and produce a wide-range of mediocre crap. Just Buns is certainly the former, specializing in sweet, sticky buns that are just the perfect breakfast, snack or [...]

Nice to meet you Albariño

World-renowned Spanish winery Martín Códax has recently released the 2010 vintage of their signature varietal, Albariño. A lesser known white wine for sure, Albariño is one of the most popularly consumed wines in Spain. Wines made from the grape are crisp, fruit-forward and refreshing, making them the perfect accompaniment to seafood or light white meat and vegetable dishes. It's more than likely you haven't ever tried this wonderful grape, as it's vastly out produced and out marketed by the likes of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Reisling and other white wines vying for your attention. Albariño is more a second tier grape in recognition, along with varietals like Gruner Veltliner [...]

Rosemary’s Thyme Bistro

I do love the age we live in, the amazing accessibility to vast information in the palm of your hand. I sometimes wonder how we ever functioned before smartphones, before you could find any little thing, online, in seconds, from almost anywhere on Earth. I was recently in Washington DC for a friends wedding, having not spent any real time in the city in over a decade. A good friend let me stay in his apartment while he was gone for the weekend, a wonderful spot just off of Dupont Circle. The neighborhood is in the heart of the city, making for a good selection of walkable restaurants, none of [...]
