My Moroccan adventure continues with Day 3 of my photo tour. If you missed Day 1 or Day 2, make sure to click in and catch up. Day 3 of my trip to Morocco (courtesy of Pompeian Olive Oil) brought me to a food factory, a winery, and a family home for an extravagant Moroccan…
I have to warn you: this will not be pretty. I flew on Royal Air Maroc twice last week and twice I was reminded of the old days of airline food where comedians were accurate in their joking and passengers had to endure foil-covered rectangles of food that desperately strived to be as good as…
“Come with me/And you’ll be/In a world of/Pure imagination…” Do you recognize those lyrics? They’re from one of my favorite movies as a kid, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Maybe this will jog your memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2pt2-F2j2g Why am I sharing lyrics from movies made in the early ’70s? Because that’s how I felt when…
I’ve been trying to publish this since Monday, but the internet wasn’t kind to me in Morocco so you’ll have to excuse the tardiness (and lack of posting — AGAIN). I just got back from Morocco in the wee hours of the morning and I have so much to share with you! Flights on Royal…
When you’re traveling abroad, street markets can seem like terrifying places, especially when you don’t speak the language. The good news? There’s only one language you need to know and that’s the language of cash. I’ve been traveling through Morocco this week and despite the fact that I don’t speak French or Arabic, I was…
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m on a trip to Morocco this week and that meant spending a night in New York on Saturday. From 10am on Saturday morning until 10am Monday morning (Morocco time), I’ve been without internet access and that meant Sunday came and went without a Fly&Dine weekly recap post. Instead of just…
I’m currently flying over Iowa en route to New York (and then Morocco) and writing this using JetBlue’s free Fly-Fi wifi service. If you’re not familiar with JetBlue, read the last part of that sentence again: Free. Fly-Fi. Wifi service. While American/Delta/United are happy to charge you $15+ per flight to access their Gogo routers,…
Dear Friends. I’m about to embark upon my first trip to Africa. Tomorrow, I’ll leave Los Angeles and find myself in Morocco by the end of the weekend. This is one of the first times I’ve gone to a destination where I have no idea what to expect. That’s why I’m calling on you, the…
Food magazines are made for different audiences. Every Day with Rachael Ray targets the active mom demographic, Bon Appetit goes for the cool hunter with disposable income, and Food Network Magazine aims for people who get Guy Fieri tattoos on their necks. Saveur falls on this spectrum, too, but all the way at the hoity-toity…
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! This is a Fly&Dine Public Service Announcement. Go into any Chipotle dressed in costume on Friday after 5pm and be rewarded with a $3 burrito, order of tacos, or salad. No word on whether the costume has to be Chipotle-themed, but it wouldn’t hurt. Even better? It’s a fundraiser! They’re donating $1,000,000 of…
Another day, another announcement of an airline partnering with an established brand to provide better meals. Okay, okay, so it may not be as routine as I make it seem but it’s certainly happening more frequently these days. ANA just announced their partnership with Patina, Cathay Pacific teamed up with the Mandarin Oriental, and now…
I do my best to post daily on Fly&Dine in the hopes that it’ll keep you coming back for more. Last week, though, I had to push pause on Fly&Dine mid-flight because I was working on a project that required my undivided attention for 14+ hours a day. Please accept my apologies, but know that…
Los Angeles is the city where fine dining went to die. While New York and Chicago still carry the banner of the besuited service staff high and proud, LA has watched its fine dining restaurants get picked off like high-ranking government officials in a terrible sniper movie. I wrote a story a few years back…
Put on your favorite slippers, grab a cup of coffee, and throw your giant newspaper in the trash. It’s Sunday and you’ve got Fly&Dine stories to catch up on. Hit these links and fill the end of your weekend with the joy of eating while you travel. Or whatever. You’re an adult. You make your…
