Jun 2nd, 2007 at 1:09PM: One might imagine that food and its preparation between each Caribbean island couldn't possibly vary drastically in taste, but then one would be wrong. I've learned now through an odd handful of islands visited; St. Lucia, Bahamas, Trinidad & Tobago and now Haiti, that the art and science of cooking and eating a good meal on each is an experience of its own. No where else have I been able to ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Haiti Part 2: Kreyl Cuisine
Jun 2nd, 2007 at 1:09PM: One might imagine that food and its preparation between each Caribbean island couldn't possibly vary drastically in taste, but then one would be wrong. I've learned now through an odd handful of islands visited; St. Lucia, Bahamas, Trinidad & Tobago and now Haiti, that the art and science of cooking and eating a good meal on each is an experience of its own. No where else have I been able to ...Lunarama: Where To Go To Get Your Food On Late-Night
May 8th, 2007 at 11:00AM: If you're planning on staying out late in an unfamiliar city, you might want to check out Lunarama before you go.
Organized by city -- almost all of which are in the US -- the site feature tons of user-submitted suggestions for all-restaurants and joints. To see how complete the site is, I searched for some of my own favorite places:
In downtown Atlanta? Try The Majestic, a diner I used ...St. Lucia There & Back Part 2: Island Dining
Mar 19th, 2007 at 3:19PM: Before I dive into this one or give the impression that I am this hardcore food critic let me just state that I am not. Someone once claimed that I happiest while I'm eating which I'm not certain is entirely true, but I do love a flavorful fulfilling meal when it's time to chow. That being said, I'm not a picky eater. There are only a few things I won't eat like lobster, crab, and liver and that ...Review: Charleston's Magnolias Restaurant
Mar 17th, 2007 at 4:52PM: Around this time last month I found myself in Charleston, South Carolina. It was my very first time in the city and in the state on a short visit to my father's new place a little ways outside of the area. While my dad was packed with recommendations of places to go and things to do in the city, I - still on my mission to strike out as many places as possible in the 1,000 Places to See Before You ...Photo of the Day (1/6/07)
Jan 6th, 2007 at 12:14PM: If I'm not mistaken I've posted some of Moody75's delicious dining pictures in the past. Perhaps we share a common interest in photographing our plates and maybe I am just a little bit hungry when selecting them, but they really do give you a sense of place. Something like this could surely be found in a French restaurant in NY someone, but Moody75 was lucky enough to nosh and photograph the ...Yekta
Dec 10th, 2006 at 10:03PM: Towards the end of my work week last week sometime while working in Rockville, Maryland I decided to pop into Yekta, a restaurant specializing in kabob and other fine Persian dishes. It was a good decision too. Normally I would have tried the koobideh (skewered lean ground beef) or kabob-e barg (flattened strips of marinated beef), but since I'm shying away from red meat temporarily I went for the ...Brasa Restaurant - Seattle, WA
Nov 5th, 2006 at 10:30PM: Allow me to apologize before proceeding to discuss the incredibly mouth-watering meal my taste-buds recently tangoed with during dinner at Seattle's Brasa Restaurant. I apologize because I attempted to take photos of my dishes, but the lighting was far from favorable for a food photo shoot and so I ditched the camera to nosh on my meal and give it full attention. So there - sorry. Dinner at Brasa ...GADLING'S TAKE FIVE: Week of October 22
Oct 27th, 2006 at 9:57PM: Can everyone say TGIF? Boy, am I glad the first hint of the weekend has arrived. It's been a long one and if your week happened to have been as hectic as mine then you may have missed some of these Gadling pieces, but never fear - they are here. 5. Paris Too Hardcore for the Japanese?: Culture reads are always fun in my book and seeing how different tourists react in certain countries is also good ...Shogun Sushi
Oct 19th, 2006 at 12:12PM: Almost everywhere I turned in Jackson, WY I had someone tossing out a restaurant recommendation or two. This absolutely delighted me, however it is during these times when everyone wants to provide you with the most delicious dish on the most delicious dish, that you aren't quite ready to saddle up and dig right in because your taste buds are craving something totally different. For instance, ...Chef Mike's
Oct 15th, 2006 at 11:28PM: Catfish Friday is one of those things you stumble upon and think "My goodness it's my lucky day!" Such is what happened when I entered the Community Cafe on the corner of 24th and Lake Street in Omaha, Nebraska. At the Community Cafe you can expect a few things; casual dining atmosphere (cafeteria style), affordable prices and enough food to keep you fueled for the entire day. And my plate, ...Ice Cream Capital of the World
Oct 9th, 2006 at 11:24AM: One of the joys of a well constructed road trip is that it isn't as well constructed as you would have liked to it to have been, but it is here where fluke accidents occur. Some may call it a glitch in the matrix, but I say it is ice cream heaven on Earth. We didn't anticipate going there because we never knew of its existence, but along a long stretch of Iowa highway rests a small quiet kind ...Sanford's Grub & Pub - Rapid City, SD
Oct 8th, 2006 at 9:48PM: Once departing Keystone, SD me and my travel pal found ourselves in Rapid City searching for something to do and more so something to eat. I stopped at a Best Western to see what recommendations their front desk staff had and they pointed out Deadwood, but it was in the opposite direction and I'm not a big gambler. I moved onto my second favorite subject: FOOD. "Where's the best place to grab ...GADLING'S TAKE FIVE: Week of October 1
Oct 6th, 2006 at 11:50PM: Buckle down everyone and grab some hot cocoa. It's time for another weekly dose of Gadling's Take Five. 5. Shrink is Located in Terminal A: Fear of flying? Get help and get over it! Iva brings a great piece from USA Today which talks of Buenos Aires response to those who are afraid to fly. You can now find a shrink in the terminal. Can someone say "hooray?" 4. America's Best Restaurants: Eating ...Restaurant Rant: Big Time Pizza - Keystone, SD
Oct 6th, 2006 at 12:52PM: No one likes writing restaurant rants including myself, but when I encounter very bad service it then becomes my obligation to all potential travelers to make such piss poor service known. Sigh. Before I begin with my rant let me set up the scene in Keystone, SD around this time of year. For starters it's off-season in Keystone and what may be a bustling little place right outside of Mount ...Dining in Dushanbe: Delhi Darbar
Sep 30th, 2006 at 5:37PM: I've saved one of the best for last my foodie friends. After dining at Delhi Darbar about six times during my stay in Tajikistan I discovered one absolutely fantastic thing about the place and that one thing is this: there isn't a single bad dish on the menu. Anything you order is guaranteed to be savory, scrumptious and gratifying. While I enjoyed sampling the local flavor and having a Tajik ...Dining in Dushanbe: Kand
Sep 29th, 2006 at 5:36PM: Kand wouldn't be the first place I'd recommend if you're hoping to dine the way most Tajiks do. While the quiet open outdoor dining is fabulous for couples looking to be left alone however, groups seeking cultural experiences will be disappointed. We ate at Kand on two occasions and both times it felt as if we were the only party eating at their establishment. Also regarding the restaurant ...Dining in Dushanbe: Eurasia
Sep 28th, 2006 at 5:36PM: While the trout I ordered doesn't exactly look like the most mouth-watering of dishes, the food at Eurasia is some of the tastiest in all of Dushanbe. Serving a mixture of Tajik foods, European foods, Russian yummies and breakfast anytime of the day, Eurasia hit it off well with me and my companions. If you've been hit by the stomach bug most travels tend to get in Central Asia, order the crepes ...Dining in Dushanbe: Rohat
Sep 27th, 2006 at 5:35PM: Here's another one you'll find in the Central Asia LP guide under the teeny section devoted to all things Tajikistan. Rohat is a large Persian-style chaikhana (teahouse) perfect for passing the time away watching locals and an expat or two parade by on Rudaki. The somewhat open-air atmosphere with high decorative ceilings makes it a cool spot to be during lunch or dinner hours. On the menu ...Dining in Dushanbe: Chinese Restaurant
Sep 26th, 2006 at 5:37PM: Lunch at the Chinese restaurant was like a blur. Perhaps it is not even fair of me to provide a review considering all the factors: eight very jet lagged and hungry foreigners together for the first time with one very quaint young waitress. I would not wish that situation upon anyone, but allow me to talk only on the food. My taste buds lead me to a spicy chicken dish and I sampled some of the ...Dining in Dushanbe: Sim Sim
Sep 25th, 2006 at 5:36PM: I'm not entirely sure when Sim Sim came into existence or why it didn't make guidebooks, but all that doesn't really matter. If you're searching for live over-the-top entertainment, decent dishes and a chance to hob-knob with some of Dushanbe's upper-class you've found the right place. Before entering listen closely for the warm welcome into Sim Sim. It'll be hard to miss as the boisterous fellow ...
