Since the Great CVS UnVanilla-ing of 2014, my Bluebird card has sat mostly dormant. Without the ability to generate my manufactured credit card spend through Vanilla Reloads at CVS, the card didn’t hold much value for me anymore. That all may be about to change… I just got an email from American Express that makes…
Everybody loves TSA Security Checkpoints. They’re fast, efficient, non-invasive — wait a second. I’m thinking of KFC. Sorry about that. TSA checkpoints are terrible. They’re full of blue-shirted authority figures yelling at shoeless clusters of travelers forced to prove that they’re not terrorists. Unless you have TSA Pre-Check (and you should! It’s awesome!) and get…

Room service is one of life’s great pleasures. There’s something about it, though, that turns us into greedy monsters — especially if we’re on an expense account or somebody else is picking up the bill. Instead of a bowl of oatmeal or other sensible breakfast, I almost always order bagels with cream cheese and smoked…

Sunday? How is it Sunday? It feels like Thursday at the most. I think time operates differently in August. We lose a Tuesday here, a Friday there, and nobody seems to notice. That’s really the only explanation of how it’s already Sunday again. In any case, I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. As we do…
Like a quick Caribbean rainstorm in August, my St. Lucia trip coverage has now come to an end. I know — I’m sad to see it go, too. If you missed anything, check out all of my stories from the trip below. Major thanks to the St. Lucia Tourist Board for sponsoring the trip and…
Where do you think of when you think about chocolate? Belgium? Switzerland? Hershey, PA? These are all major capitals of chocolate production, but what about the place where the raw materials for chocolate are grown? We’re talking about tropical locations where cacao trees grow big oblong pods that eventually make their way into your mouth…
I wish I could say I came up with this, but I can’t. Like most amazing Internetty things, I found it on Reddit (which got there by way of DaveHax.com). I present to you: the best way to pack for a one-night stay. So. Brilliant. Who needs a carry-on when it can all fit in…
Food unites us, no matter where you live. If you love to travel, you know the joy of discovering a local delicacy that you never even knew existed — like egg waffles in Hong Kong! Jenni Killam knows that joy. Caribbean-born and extensively traveled, Killam recently opened Spices Cooking Studio in the island’s tony Cap…
Ever since American Airlines launched their Chefs’ Conclave back in 1988, carriers around the world have tried to snag the best culinary talent to consult on their in-flight culinary programs. Now it’s considered industry standard to have a well-known chef putting their names on airplane menus. Japan’s ANA goes well beyond industry standard, though, with…
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…
