I was going to let the whole Chrissy Teigen/Emotional Support Casserole story skate by without comment, but it made me think about how foods are classified by the TSA and why certain foods can get through while others are rejected and destined for the trash can. I went on a research mission and came back with…
If you’re trying to save yourself some calories and fit into a dress/suit/chicken costume for a wedding, you can’t necessarily indulge in everything you’d like to be eating. The same can’t be said for my life. As a professional food writer, it’s my job to check out the latest and greatest wherever I am and…
On this glorious sports-filled Saturday, I’d like to remind you to eat. In order to do so, I’m offering you this photo series of the best food I ate in the month of April. Mangia!
Chocolate Fried Chicken. It’s a thing now, people, and if you’re traveling to LA any time soon, you can get your hands on some by swinging down near the Staples Center where you’ll find ChocoChicken, the brand new chocolate fried chicken concept from the guy behind Umami Burger. The chocolate’s in the batter but it…
Happy Easter Sunday to those celebrating! Have you had a good week? I have. Now that the bulk of my Hong Kong stories are done and posted (one more coming this week and then we’re totally done), I thought it would be a good idea to do a little wrap-up of all the stories I…
On my return flight from Hong Kong (HKG) to Los Angeles (LAX), Cathay Pacific provided me with a seat in Business Class. That was mighty kind of you, Cathay, and the seat was much appreciated. While other blogs may cover the seats (fully lie-flat!) or the entertainment options (plenty of great movies!), we here at…
I’m in Hong Kong for a little over a week and I’m hunting down the best food this city has to offer. I’m already four days in and have been lucky enough to enjoy spectacular meals at Michelin-starred restaurants (Pierre, Lung King Heen, Caprice, Spoon by Alain Ducasse) and local favorites (Yat Lok, Crystal Jade…
Theme park food? Not great. Food theme park? Incredible! Or at least that’s what my daydreaming brain has decided. Eataly, the Italian chain of super-super markets (more like sprawling villages of food than your local grocery store) is behind the plan in Bologna, Italy. If you’ve ever been to one of their locations all over…
Here at Fly&Dine, we’re not just concerned with food as it relates to eating. Food is a bigger issue, integral to survival and economics and a whole bunch of other categories. Today, we’re talking about food and health. Specifically the age-old question: Does airplane air really get you sick? Common sense would dictate that…
If you watch food TV, you know Curtis Stone. He’s currently the host of Top Chef Masters, but you may have caught him on America’s Next Great Restaurant, Around the World in 80 Plates, Take Home Chef, or any one of the fourteen thousand* shows on which he’s appeared (*possible slight exaggeration). No matter how…
Ah, the First Class Lounge; that shangri-la of tiny sandwiches, premium liquor, and showers that I’m not even that afraid to use. If I had access, I’d go every day. It would be my country club, my sanctuary, my really upscale Starbucks. The problem is, lounge access costs major dollars in the form of memberships…
One of the biggest complaints I hear about food in airports is that it’s just not healthy. DFW has apparently heard those complaints, too, and they’re trying to fix the problem with their new “Eat Healthy at DFW” campaign. That means that every single one of its dining outlets is going to be offering at…
The Wall St. Journal just published a big story online about the current state of airport food and the business behind it. Definitely worth a read. Check it out here: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303465004579322690270418718 My favorite quote comes from Rick Blatstein, CEO of OTG Management, which operates restaurants at airports in the U.S. and Canada: “We operate restaurants…
Reddit keeps me up-to-date on the latest and greatest on the Internet and a regular feature on the site is the AMA, which stands for Ask Me Anything. Essentially, somebody interesting offers to do a Q&A. Today, it was Jerry Seinfeld and while he doesn’t answer every question posed to him, he did answer the…
