Food magazines are made for different audiences. Every Day with Rachael Ray targets the active mom demographic, Bon Appetit goes for the cool hunter with disposable income, and Food Network Magazine aims for people who get Guy Fieri tattoos on their necks. Saveur falls on this spectrum, too, but all the way at the hoity-toity…
It’s a good day when I can write a headline that makes me laugh out loud. This is one of those days. I happen to love the sensationalism of the media and especially the “you’re gonna die” headlines created by network news, so it seemed only fitting to create SUSHIPOCALYPSE when I came across this…
Let’s talk about salads for a second. I like eating salads. I hate making salads. Seriously, there is some sort of vortex that I fall into whilst making a salad that legitimately makes the final product taste worse. Chopping, mixing, assembling. Too much damn work for me. If you give me the same salad in…
Which means about as much as my 8-year-old self declaring every other day “Opposite Day” to get out of being wrong about things. I’m not going to belabor the point with a long essay, but haven’t we had enough of the International/National _____ Days? I wrote about it back in February 2013 for Bon Appetit…
I love Trader Joe’s. When I’m packing snacks to take on the plane with me, they almost exclusively come from their packaged snack aisle. Organic cashews, almonds, and cranberries are my go-to, but there are trail mixes and dried fruit and all sorts of other goodies to choose from and, like most other things at…
While airline food is still subject to a TON of criticism, advancements are taking place and Conde Nast Traveler has the evidence with a slideshow full of beautiful airline meals from around the globe. Check out photos of new Air France dishes, Lufthansa spring rolls, bento boxes from JAL, Finnair’s venture into New Nordic cuisine,…
Everybody knows Wolfgang Puck. He basically created the concept of the celebrity chef with Spago in the halcyon days of early ’80s Los Angeles and since then, he’s become (quite literally) a household name with Wolfgang Puck frozen foods filling freezers all across America. As a man with restaurants all over the world, including a…
Who doesn’t love a nice stop at the Duty Free shop? The liquor selection is usually enormous and without paying that tax, you’re saving a nice chunk of change. Food Republic contributor Emily Saladino (disclosure: I don’t know her, but I’ve been a columnist for Food Republic for years) dives into the airport liquor (and…
Every year this list comes out and every year I both recoil in horror and wonder if I should tempt fate and try all of them. The 2014 list from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (I agree — that sounds totally made up) actually has nine dishes on it, but I just…
I’ve been an Adam Carolla fan since his days as co-host of the syndicated radio show Love Line (with Dr. Drew). He may be crass and over-the-top in some of his opinions, but he’s always been a funny voice of reason and while he’s come a long way since his days of making fun of…
While the world at large still thinks of airplane food as slightly-warmed garbage, there are a select few (yourself included if you’re reading this!) that know we’re on the cusp of a better airplane food future. To that end, I scoured Twitter for the best tweets over the past month that shine a light on…
I’ll admit it, I’ve become a big fan of Reddit. It seems like every viral video/story/meme/whathaveyou started there and as somebody who likes to be up-to-date (and ahead of the curve), I end up checking it several times a day. Yesterday, one of the top posts was an AskReddit question entitled What is something about…
Is it me or do the days seem to be flying by this summer? It feels like just yesterday I was talking about Tipping at Hotels, and now an entire week has passed us by. Hope it was a good one for you. This is what happened over the past week on Fly&Dine: Would…
As the impending Internet of Things takes root all over the world, digital security becomes more and more of an issue. Hotels are quick to offer new luxurious amenities to give guests more value for their money, but do these improvements leave hotels and their patrons more vulnerable to the whims of computer hackers? The…
