Hotel. Brunch. Buffet. Just hearing those words gets me excited. Everyone loves a hotel brunch buffet. In fact, I love them so much, I created the definitive guide for maximizing your hotel brunch buffet. <—- click over there to read it This past weekend, I had the pleasure of being invited to explore the Ojai…
For a few years now, there’s been a growing category of food delivery that’s like the cousin of regular restaurant delivery. Some services offer to drop off the ingredients to make your favorite meals while other others deliver full meals that you merely need to reheat. Munchery falls in the latter category. They just came…
In Hawaii, poke (PO-kay) is everywhere from gas stations to roadside stands to high-end hotels that charge triple what any sane Hawaiian would rightfully pay for the aquatic delicacy. In Los Angeles, poke is the future and those high-end Hawaiian hotel prices will become the norm here on the mainland — but it doesn’t matter.…
Hold onto your blue beehives, people. Krusty Burger is a thing! A real thing! I just saw a story on Eater LA that Krusty Burger has opened in Los Angeles at Universal Studios and a little bit of digging reveals that there’s actually been a Krusty Burger in existence at Orlando’s Universal Studios since June…
I don’t know how the other teams in the Final Four feel about this, but the Duke Men’s Basketball Team is sleeping comfortably knowing the Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre* they’re staying at has their backs. The official account of the team posted this tweet earlier this morning: Greatest do not disturb sign of all-time? Greatest…
Fans of the movie Sideways will appreciate what Sheraton Hotels and Resorts is doing for its’ fourth iteration of their successful Sheraton Selects program in North America. Launching late last month, Sheraton Selects Spotlight on Pinot Noir offers guests the chance to check out a rotating selection of at least premium eight Pinots highly ranked by…
A couple of weeks ago, I shared the LA Times’ list of great dining options near LAX. It covered all kinds of genres from pizza to Thai to Jamaican to Middle Eastern but it didn’t grab everything. In-N-Out didn’t make the list, nor did one of my favorites, Aliki’s Greek Taverna. Another type of food…
Seafood platters have earned a spot on my list of life’s simple pleasures. It’s right in between “the sound of my dog yawning” and “my girlfriend’s beautiful smile.” A cold platter of ultra-fresh seafood served on or near the beach is a reminder that we — as humans — did it. We got to the…
The All-Star Chef Classic came on the scene last year as a food event that’s trying to break the mold. Instead of similar events across the United States where a bunch of big-name chefs set up shop and serve tiny portions of their greatest hits, the All-Star Chef Classic vowed to up their game and…
It’s Pi Day! What’s Pi Day, you say? It’s March 14th, 2015 aka 3.14.15! That’s the value of Pi, which for non-math majors is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Basically, it’s an excuse for me to write about pie since they’re homophones (pi sounds exactly like pie). This is also the…
If Day 1 of The Broadmoor’s very inclusive Taste & Savor Food Festival was all about your individual foodie preferences (choose your favorite seminars, pick your favorite themed dinner, etc.), Day 2 was about the collective group of food lovers getting together to enjoy what The Broadmoor has constructed for this first annual weekend of…
It’s already well into Day 2 of The Broadmoor’s first annual Taste & Savor event in Colorado Springs, but it’s the first time I’ve really had to catch my breath all day so it’s time for a little recap of the glory that was TBT&S2015D1 — that’s The Broadmoor’s Taste & Savor 2015 Day 1…
Caviar. You may think it’s just tiny fish babies, but that’s like saying perfume is just aged whale vomit. Technically, it’s true (for real — check out ambergris, a prized ingredient in perfume here), but those tiny fish babies are so much more. I had the pleasure of attending a seminar on the expensive stuff…
Ahoy from the gorgeous/historic Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs (just minutes from BoardingArea Headquarters!) where I’ll be reporting live from the inaugural Taste & Savor event all weekend. Food Festivals are a dime a dozen these days — well, actually more like $150 each on average — but the Broadmoor has taken the idea of…
