  • Pesto Ramen

    For my birthday, among other items, I received something I had been wanting for a long time.  And it was not something that a typical 15-year-old boy would want. This cookbook is amazing – it’s written by a James Beard-awarding… Continue reading

  • The Bobbie

    Well, my time abroad has come to an end.  For now.  But don’t worry – by no means does this mean that my blogging has come to an end.  I am currently in the sleepy little beachside town of  Lewes, Delaware… Continue reading

  • Zev’s Top 10: Taipei

    Bam!  Right back with another Top 10 post, this time coming from a surprise location: Taipei.  After almost a month in Sapporo, we were ready to see (and eat) something new.  So we booked a super cheap flight on Singapore’s incredibly… Continue reading

  • Ito-Yokadelicious

  • ラーメン路地 (Ramen Alley)

    I’m in Sapporo! Like every city in Japan, Sapporo has many culinary specialties.  Because it’s so far north, Sapporo produces some of the world’s most delicious cold-water seafood – such as uni (sea urchin), ikura (salmon roe), and kani (crab).  And keep in mind that these… Continue reading
