I love chicken wings. Ever since my college days where I’d routinely put down double-orders from Buffalo Joe’s with waffle fries (aka buffalo chips) and an RC cola, I’ve been enamored of the little flavor bombs. Last week, I had the good fortune of being invited down to Overland Park, a suburb of Kansas City,…

Who doesn’t love awards? Oscar, Emmy, Tony — these aren’t just the names of people on your college co-ed Ultimate Frisbee team. They’re the way that we, as a society, reward entertainers for doing well at the jobs they’re paid very well to do. Awards aren’t limited to entertainment, though. If you’re a regular BoardingArea…

They’re not here everyday like some sort of Glam Rock Ronald McDonald, but this morning at the Rock & Brews outpost in LAX T5, breakfast diners were treated to a side of star power with their eggs when co-owners Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS showed up (separately) before a flight to grab some…

Another week has come to a close and that means we’re cruising into next week at a comfortable altitude. While you try to figure out that New York Times Sunday crossword (14 across is Marmaduke), perhaps you’d like to catch up on some stories you may have missed from the previous week? Clink on the…
In the Fly&Dine universe, we tend to celebrate different holidays than normal folks. Airline mergers, new menu debuts, and the release of the now-annual Eater Airport Dining Guides are all big days for us. As such, yesterday was essentially Christmas as Eater unleashed their latest series of Airport Dining Guides. The difference between Eater and…
The Internet, at times, is a giant game of telephone. Something happens, somebody writes about it, somebody else summarizes that, somebody summarizes the summary, and so on. Maybe it’s less telephone and more Human Centipede (I’ll let you google that terrible phrase on your own if you’re not familiar — but this is your warning…

You thought my Hong Kong coverage was over? NO WAY, SON. This is a Hong Kong flashback Fly&Dine-style. That photo up there? It’s an egg waffle (aka eggette or gai daan jai) at Lee Keung Kee. I had no idea what Lee Keung Kee was, but when I was trekking back and forth to that…
One of the biggest names in crab cakes on the Eastern seaboard is Phillips Seafood. This Maryland-based restaurant chain has been slinging crab and other crustaceans for over fifty years and their name is so well-known that you can now find their products in travel plazas, stadiums, and even at Costco. That’s all well and…
A very happy Sunday to you, my fly-and-dining friends. Another week is coming to a close and that means it’s time to wrap up the week that was in Fly&Dine. We started with a meditation on a fairly inane list that claimed “Jet Bloat” was a fearsome problem that can only be solved with hummus…
