Lima is known as being one of the best food cities in South America, so of course I based most of my plans around eating. Unfortunately, I was in Lima for a Sunday and Monday, so Astrid y Gaston wasn’t open while I was there, but I did check out Maido and Central. This is…

Here’s a sampling of things that I ate in Hong Kong. Tsui Wah You’re not going to find anything gourmet here, but I do think it’s an interesting experience, especially if you come at 4:30am as I did on my first jetlagged morning in Hong Kong. Tsui Wah is a chain of restaurants that are…
My second and final day in Helsinki, I did something rather stupid and let myself fall asleep at 4pm. I was exhausted and jetlagged (I find it harder to travel east than west) and ended up sleeping for 8+ hours and thus woke up past midnight without having eaten dinner. There is not much to…

Mission Chinese Food ($$): This is a…
As someone who loves both travel and food, I found this episode of Heston’s Mission Impossible for British Airways interesting. He takes on the task of improving airplane food, which is often universally panned. I’m actually a fan of airplane food, just because I think it’s already magical that a giant metal tube can get off…
I like food. When planning trips, I’ve been known to plan itineraries around what I want to eat, and then filling in the rest with perfunctory touristy activities. A friend recently asked me for food recommendations for Seattle, given that I grew up in the area. Here’s a modified version of what I sent her….
