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…
That scary horse in the photo above? It’s at the Denver International Airport (DIA), a place supposedly filled with all kinds of dastardly underground deeds. Personally? I’m not convinced. A scary horse does not a conspiracy make. For the record, I have no idea what a secret Freemason plot is or would be. I’m vaguely…
For anyone that follows the airport restaurant game, the news of Newark’s enormous $120 million upgrade in United’s Terminal C was a revelation. A restaurant by Alain Ducasse, one of the biggest chefs in the world? Yes, please. iPads at nearly every seat to streamline the ordering process? Sounds good! (Although the early feedback via…
JetBlue announced yesterday that they’ll be officially joining forces with Royal Air Maroc to offer codeshare flights with Morocco’s national airline. While the two airlines have cooperated on flights on an interline basis since 2012, this advances the relationship from casually dating to full marriage, meaning a seamless experience in terms of flight purchasing and…
I’m a big fan of Thrillist. I don’t necessarily think media needs to be divided as “for men” and “for women,” but that’s been happening for decades and Thrillist has done a great job of occupying the bro space of the Internet. In fact, my buddy Jeff Miller’s been holding it down in Thrillist for…
Hey look! Fly&Dine has turned into US Weekly! Not quite, but today definitely brings a tabloidy story to the table. First off, I would watch a movie-of-the-week called “The Alex Baldwin Newark Navy Breakfast Story.” Wouldn’t you? What ever happened to Movies of the Week? They’re a lost art. How are we supposed to fictionalize…
There is a dystopian future where the government takes pride in being called Kafkaesque. They make rules that create discord and drive the citizenry crazy. They throw half the world’s population into prison. Inside those prisons, the people are treated like less than cattle. One of their punishments? They have to eat the food of…
This is big. Really big. It’s the wifi hack of your dreams. What if I told you I just uncovered a major trick to scamming free wifi at the airport and all you need is a smartphone? Would you be happy? I bet you would. I know I was when I discovered the secret. THE…
Sunsets are disgusting. Just awful wastes of everyone’s time and energy. “Oh look! The Earth is turning!” Who cares? Nobody. In fact, the sunsets down here in Fiji are even worse than normal because everyone stops what they’re doing to watch. So stupid. We could all be doing something productive with our time instead of…
Negative temperatures got you down? Take a mental vacation with Fly&Dine and check out the posts you may have missed this week. I didn’t get to post very much because I happen to be on a gorgeous private island in Fiji, but what I did post should serve as a brain-thawer. For those of you…
I’m in Fiji. Chances are, you’re not. Be my virtual vacation companion with these beautiful island photos.
I’m at Turtle Island in Fiji having a blast, but one of the best parts is that I have to actually WORK to get wifi. If it need to connect, I have to sit on a bench outside the gift shop and that means I’m not constantly checking my phone for emails. While I don’t…
I love traveling. If you’re reading Fly&Dine, a blog about eating while you travel, I have to assume that you love traveling, too. Either that, or you’re either my Mom or my Facebook friend (Hi Mom!). Traveling allows us to step outside of our daily lives and, ironically, actually live. That means forgetting about carpools…
