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…
We’ve all been there. It’s late at night. You’re in a hotel room far from home with nothing to do. You turn on the TV and start scrolling through the 12 channels wondering if you’ve suddenly time-warped back to 1987. Surely there’s a way around this, right? Well, of course there is. You could pretend…
Growing up, my parents always had a copy of Chicago Magazine on the family room coffee table. As of this moment, I can proudly say I’ve made it (at least in terms of the Kessler family magazine library). My work has been featured before in a variety of places (not Variety, though) like The New…
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…

Summer travel season is quickly approaching (I believe it unofficially starts on Memorial Day), so if your luggage has seen better days, it’s probably time to trade up. Luckily, Amazon is offering another fantastic luggage sale. The last one offered excellent deals and this one appears to be equally as good or better. The sale…
Fly&Dine Contributor Paul Bacon is back with his latest find. Take it away, Paul… Des Moines, Iowa has a restaurant that is very famous. It has been featured in newspapers, magazines, and TV shows. I have been coming to Des Moines for five years and somehow I missed it on each trip. To add insult…
I’m calling it. It’s May 2015 and we are officially living in the future. All of the hallmarks of our future world — with the glaring exception of the flying car — have seemingly come to fruition. Just look at these new developments: 1. Apple just released a product that is essentially a Dick Tracy…
NASCAR fans, start your engines. If you’re down with Dale Earnhardt Jr. (as opposed to indie rock band Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.), then this should come as very good news. The NASCAR driver owns beer and wing depot Whisky River in Uptown Charlotte and now he’s teamed up with HMSHost to open an outpost of…
My Facebook feed is currently filled with photos of people with their mothers. I think that’s sweet, but everyone can post a photo of their mom to Facebook. It’s the easy thing to do, like buying a bouquet of flowers or a card from the grocery store. While we all rush to say “I love…
If you’ve been using the Genius In-N-Out Trick to snag free rides from LAX to the In-N-Out via the Parking Spot shuttle, then the world is now a different place. A couple of weeks ago, I reported that the Parking Spot was sending out letters to its customers that they would now have to provide…
Happy Mother’s Day, Fly&Diners. I’ve got a special Mother’s Day post coming later today, but for now, why don’t you head up to the Fly&Dine buffet and feast on the stories you may have missed this week. NYT Says New York Should Close LaGuardia This is Why You Don’t Buy a TV from Groupon…
If you feel like it’s too early to have Airport Restaurant Month again, you’re right. The first one was barely six months ago in October 2014, but that’s not stopping HMSHost from rolling out Airport Restaurant Month 2105 in May. Just like last time, airport restaurants all over the country are offering multi-course chef’s tasting…
As a resident of the other, considerably warmer coast, I don’t have much of an opinion of LaGuardia. I do my best to avoid it at all costs as the food options have been abysmal there for years (decades, even?). The New York Times, on the other hand, seems to think LaGuardia should die immediately.…
