I’m sitting at Gate 150 at LAX’s Tom Bradley International Terminal. By tomorrow, I’ll be in France. Ever heard of it? It’s that place where the cheese and wine are plentiful and the terror attacks seem to be happening more frequently. I’ll be flying over the Atlantic and considering the recent spate of airplane crashes…

Apparently, leaky roofs and “filthy” movable…

If you’re a regular reader of his blog (and with his readership numbers, I assume that everybody is), then you know that Ben’s about to leave his permanent address in the…
Do you read Food Republic? I do. I also happen to write for them quite a bit (check out my Kessler Report column here). Most weeks, the site features great food content geared towards dudes (bacon, whisky, sports, souffles) but this week, they’ve been doing Fantasy Travel Week and it’s pretty fantastic, although I think…
Which wine pairs best with tiny bags of peanuts? That’s a question to ask any of the 28 airlines that recently participated in Business Traveller’s 2013 Cellars in the Sky Awards.
