There’s nothing like a home-cooked meal, but what about when it takes place in someone else’s home? I’m not talking about a family member or a friend. I’m talking about eating in a complete stranger’s home. Does that appeal to you? If so, you might want to check out mealsharing.com. The site bills itself as…
If you keep up-to-date on food trends, you know all about bone broth. If you don’t keep up-to-date on food trends, you probably have a lot more free time than I do. Bone broth is essentially soup made from boiling bones long enough to release the collagen/marrow inside to create a super rich stock. It’s…
YouTube is a magical place filled with crazy/weird/wonderful/awkward/illuminating things. Case in point? This video of Korean girls trying snacks from America. The premise is simple, but it yields great results. PopTarts? “Tastes like a toy.” I’m sure the reverse video of American girls eating Korean snacks would be equally amusing… Oh, here it is! BuzzFeed…
It’s Sunday! That means you could either lie on your back counting the holes in the ceiling or catch up on Fly&Dine. I’m going to take the hole option, but only because I already know what was on Fly&Dine this week. You catch up on the F&D stories and we’ll reconvene here in an hour…
While looking into this morning’s BBC story on in-flight food, I came across a series of videos that British Airways published back in 2012 on the subject of “Height Cuisine.” See what they did there? No? They took the phrase “Haute Cuisine” and turned it into “Height Cuisine.” Very clever, BA! Anyway, if you’ve got…
If you’re a regular reader of Fly&Dine, you know that major news outlets love reporting on why food on airplanes doesn’t taste as good as it does on the ground. For those playing at home: low humidity and cabin pressure make things taste differently. That hasn’t stopped the BBC from publishing a massive story on…
Rankings! Rankings! I’ve got rankings! You want some rankings? How ’bout you? Don’t worry. I’ve got rankings for everyone — that is, if you like major American airports. First thing’s first (I’m the realest): these aren’t my rankings. They were done by Thrillist, a site I’ve been a fan of for a very long time.…
A little over a week ago, I posted a story with that gorgeous deep dish pizza photo above as the cover shot. While the title indicated I was saying goodbye to my beloved deep dish, a reader saw the photo and thought the post was going to be about pizzas worth flying for. In the…
The New Year is off to a roaring start. Here are the stories you may have missed this week on Fly&Dine: JetBlue Introduces New Service from San Francisco to Vegas Can You Diet While You Travel?

Did you know that AARP, the American Association of Retired People, has 37 million members? Are you aware that AARP is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the world? Did you know that AARP successfully created a law that requires at least one Denny’s in every American town? Okay, so that last one…
Have we reached the (non-)tipping point? A restaurant in Pittsburgh seems to think so. Bar Marco recently announced that starting in April, they won’t be accepting any gratuities. Instead, their employees will all get a salary of $35,000 that comes with full health benefits and 500 shares in the restaurant to become part owners. The…
Guys. My Mom called the other day to tell me that she liked my story on whether or not you can diet while you travel. That’s just about the highest praise I can imagine. While some moms blindly praise their kids for everything (“You tried your best, sweetheart! Here’s a trophy!”), mine only proffers approval…
I’m sorry. I know I said I wasn’t going to just repost things I found elsewhere, but come on. A fireworks factory is exploding. You have to see that, right? In an effort to live up to my resolution to provide some insightful Fly&Dine analysis on stories like this, let me just say that…
On Saturday, I told you about my plan to eat well in the New Year and so far it’s going extremely well. Lots of vegetables, a good amount of protein, and no added sugar or white flour. I’ve been eating delicious meals of Chinese chicken salads, roasted vegetables, vegetarian chili, and so much more. It…
