Places

Ho Jiak

How often do you get to eat authentic Malaysian food? If you live in Sydney, Australia, you can find it at Ho Jiak, one of four restaurants by Chef Junda Khoo.

Tiny Tokyo Food Trucks

Like San Francisco and New York City, food trucks are big in Tokyo. Well not exactly big but tiny in fact.

House of Red Pearl

I’m a big fan of Jean-Georges. We’ve been to many of his restaurants in New York; they are all unique, and the food never lets you down. (Oddly enough his only restaurant in Paris is sort of so-so.)

Amsterdam

OK, so if you’re a young bro, you probably go to smoke some legal weed (come on guys, it’s legal nearly everywhere now) and gawk at the women in the windows in the red-light district.

Foraging My Way Through Noma

Noma is a three-Michelin-star restaurant run by chef René Redzepi, and co-founded by Claus Meyer, in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Okay, so every food writer has written about Noma in the past twenty-plus years.

What more can we say about it?

Stories

Travel is full of surprises—whether it's getting lost, stumbling upon a hidden gem, or witnessing the unexpected. These moments always turn into the best stories.

Stories

The Beckoning Cat Temple

You’ve seen them everywhere, especially in Asian restaurants: small statues, which portray a cat sitting up and beckoning with its front paw. Sometimes the paw is actually waving (with the help of batteries).

Well of course there’s an interesting backstory.

A hook-up in Madrid

We recently checked into a VRBO for an eight-night stay in Barrio de las Letras in Madrid, a neighborhood that was home to some great 17th-century writers.

Luxembourg Garden

We are back in Paris and there’s so much to do with hardly any time to do it. However, one of my favorite things is to walk through the Jardin du Luxembourg, one of the city’s most beautiful parks.

In the Land of Pintxos

It’s been a while since we’ve been to Spain so here we go, top to bottom starting in Basque. The Basque country straddles the North of Spain and the South of France.

I wish I’d paid attention in French class

It all begins with an idea.

Recipes

One of the best things about travel is tasting the local food. We recreate the authentic flavors of our travels with these easy-to-make recipes from around the world.

Recipes

Dry-Brined Roast Chicken

Forget about cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving. Let’s face it, it’s a big old boring bird that is dried breast meat drowned in gravy. A chicken is a better choice and far more manageable and tastier. Your best option: try brining it for an extra tasty bird.

Linguine With Clams and Mussel

One of the easiest and most delicious pasta dishes is made with clams and mussels. This takes no time at all (less than 20 minutes) and is pretty hard to mess up. (Just don’t overcook the seafood.)

Breaded Chicken With Market Tomatoes

When it’s tomato season it’s time to go to your local farmers market and buy fresh vine ripened tomatoes.

Bac Ha Ginger Chicken

There are a zillion Chinese stir-fries. I've been trying to perfect a few favorites for weekday meals.

Chicken Pho

There's nothing more classic in Vietnamese cuisine than Pho. (No it's not pronounced "fo" but closer to "furr" or "faa".)
