My Sunday is about to draw to a close here at the gorgeous Le Clair de Plume hotel in Grignan, a beautifully rustic French town in the Rhone Valley. While I’m getting down with some local black truffles for dinner (rough life, I know), you can catch up on all of the Fly&Dine stories you…
It’s officially Day 2 of my French Gourmet Trip and Day 1 finished out STRONG. I took a walking city of Vieux Lyon (the old city), experienced the B.I.G. (no relation to anyone Notorious — it’s actually the biennale international du goût, the world’s largest food festival that takes place specifically in a tunnel), and…
Yesterday I posted about leaving for France and today I’m here. Bonjour from Lyon. I’ll be here for a week taking in the sights sounds tastes of Lyon and, more importantly, the Bocuse d’Or — the Olympics of the culinary world. Get ready for lots of posts about what I’m eating here, thanks to the…
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…
(Main photo via Roger Mooking/Facebook) While American audiences may not as familiar with Roger Mooking as they should be, Canadians absolutely love him. He’s a celebrity chef and award-winning musician. The dude hosts shows on Cooking Channel here in the US (Man Fire Food and Everyday Exotic) and appears regularly on the Food Network both…
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? Fireworks Factory Explodes Eating Healthy While You Travel: The Cheat Sheet US Restaurant Eliminates Tipping: Wave of the Future?…
