Dinner: 5,000₩ / 3.45€ / US$4.75

I want to tell you everything about my trip to Seoul – lots to tell, but I haven’t had time and, to be honest, the internet connection at my hotel (in one of the world’s most well connected countries) is a bit dodgy.

So you must wait.

However I wanted to share picture of my […]

I ate a gaybar.

I’m in Portland, Oregon. Home of so many wonderful things, including VooDoo Doughnuts, where good things come in pink boxes.

Pink boxes signal great doughnuts — and a long line, even at 5pm.

Three VooDoo Doughtnuts: The top is a “cock and balls”, then lower left is a dirty doughnut and on the […]

Some Great American Meals

Sorry about my silence, but I was busy in Orlando, and then once I left Orlando I was incapacitated for a day or two: whilst in Bloomington I had my eyes examined and a tooth filled. Thankfully my Bloomington Dentist is totally awesome and very patient with my irrational behavior. Since getting back to Germany, […]

Seeing the Chocolate for Chocolate, but not its form!

A couple weeks ago, just before Easter, I took a long lunch and wandered by Berlin’s branch of Galeries Lafayette, the French department store. It’s actually quite convenient to my office and since I had forgotten to prepare a dish for a party I was attending, it’s basement boutique grocery store gave me the opportunity […]

I’m looking forward to the spaghetti harvest.

A timeless report about one of my favorite foods being harvested.

Ney! You don’t say!

These are good times to be a vegetarian in Europe.

Not that I am one, but like most people living in Europe, I’ve been eyeing the ground “beef” with a great deal of suspicion of late.

Mainly because it’s not necessarily beef.

Amazingly, some products claiming to have ground beef actually contain 100% pure ground […]

Enforcing my own personal rules…

Living alone and without an auto I am responsible for buying and schlepping all of my food home.

One of the worst things to schlep home is milk – and so I tend to not want to bring it home. And I eagerly forget to put it in the shopping cart because I don’t want […]

Reason why I eat too much in the States: Carnitas

Last Sunday afternoon, after having tackled a mountain of email at my second favorite coffee shop on the planet, the 9th and Downing Dazbog, I decided that I wanted to indulge in something that one cannot get in Berlin: Great Mexican food.

I drove down one of Denver’s most infamous streets, Colfax Avenue, until I […]

18:00 CET is the perfect time for Peking Duck – Lunch in New York

The duck led a happy life and, therefore, made me happy at lunch.

At noon Saturday I found myself in the heart of New York City’s China Town eating Peking Duck at Peking Duck House.

Tour Guide Bert

It was a part of the Chinatown Food and Culture Walking Tour offered by Foods […]

18:00 CET is 10:00 MST – And a late Saturday morning breakfast…

Saturday morning I visited with one of my oldest friends, Eva.

Originally she’d planned on cooking breakfast but she’d forgotten that I was coming (she didn’t look at her calendar) and, therefore, was unprepared – so we ended up going out for breakfast at Le Peep’s.

Le Peep’s is a small, Colorado-based, chain of restaurants […]
