Food & Drink

Food brings people together. It makes people happy, it provides sustenance, it’s motivation, its an Experience. Here I share recipes, food, drinks, locations, and thoughts on food. I have made and can vouch for the recipes shared, unless otherwise noted.

Amazing Regional Cuisine

When I travel I love to eat. What’s this area known for? I’ll have that. Where are the locals going? Lets go there.

Belize Stew Chicken

Fall off the bone, most delicious chicken you’ll ever have. Best enjoyed in the rainforest. Closest recipe to the chicken I had in Belize *

Eating should always be an experience

Cris and JohnDallas, Texas

This Vietnamese fusion street food with mexican flavors is absolutely Incredible. I had the Birria Tacos with Angry Pho, and Cafe Flan for dessert. 10/10 recommend.


Jambo CafeSanta Fe, New Mexico

African Caribbean fusion cuisine that exceeds all expectations. Try the special, whatever it is, and try the rum pecan pie. You wont be disappointed.


Banh Mi BoysMetairie, Louisiana

This banh mi shop in Louisiana is a hidden gem. Its located near an airport and next to a gas station, about 20 minutes from downtown New Orleans. They use good French bread in true Nola style. The golden crispy crunch of the bread with the fresh vegetables inside… chefs kiss*


Gwennies Old Alaska Restaurant Anchorage, Alaska

I stumbled upon this place on my journey from Florida to Alaska. Had my first non-protein bar/ jerky meal in a week. Huge strawberries & whipped cream pancakes with thick slabs of bacon…. unforgettable.


Recipes

Banana Pudding

A southern favorite, this recipe for banana includes condensed milk, cream cheese, vanilla pudding, and whipped cream. Absolutely decadent.

Baked Ratatouille (confit bayaldi)

Impress your kids with this ratatouille recipe. Even better, let them be the little chef and watch Ratatouille while you eat. Magical.

White clam sauce

Seriously amazing sauce. Add to any pasta dish
