Yahoo! sponsored the twenty20 world cup of cricket. I am not going to get into how the game is played and what the difference is between regular cricket and twenty20. Learn on your own. But I will get into the snacks. My friend and fellow Yahoo!, Andrew, invited me to a quarter final match between...
I was looking for a quick hit one day in London and every pub and restaurant was either no longer serving or not yet serving. I walked past an Italian restaurant that had a small sandwich shop next to it. I walked a few blocks more before deciding to return and order a salami and cheese on a roll. ...
Hungover from the night party the night before I hung with Henrik at the shop. In between customers we sat in the sun as still as possible, sipping water and rehashing the events of the evening. We got a bit hungry and he mentioned we could order the best pizza in Copenhagen. I quickly agreed and I...
On the same day I met Stig and his Olives I took the Copenhagen guys out for dinner. Their choice of course. Henrik took us over to a restaurant/bar that lived in a converted laundromat space. As soon as we walked in Henrik ordered up three plates and some beers. When the meal came it looked...
After the ship I hung in Copenhagen for a few days to meet up with my CPH yBike riders, Henrik and Mikael. Henrik runs a bike rental shop in town and the three of spent an afternoon doing a few interviews for my Yahoo! Purple Pedals Project (when they are done I will link to them from here). We had...
I didn’t think you would want to marinate a nut but I was wrong. As an accoutrement to my dessert plate this nut not only opened my palette but my imagination. Let me back up a quick sec. I was looking for a quiet meal in Copenhagen after having spent 10 days on the ship with Ant. This giant...
Finding an elusive meal that we both had back in 2006 iced the cake. This small sea town is mostly a tourist destination but Anthony and I did our best to poke around and explore some of the nooks and crannies discovering some hidden gems. Music by Daft Punk. It was the only German beats in my...
The last 10 days I have been on this ship with Anthony. I learned all about life on the Eurodam and what he means by “waking up in a new country everyday”. Although the ship has it’s share of delicious food and wonderful drinks, I am going to keep this post short leaving the reviews to...
Helsinki Finland is a nice little city. I will be back there a few more times before my contract is over and I will definitely be back to hit up the market. I love markets like this. Everything is fresh. There were 2 small boats docked next to the market with fish caught that morning. Talk about...
My first stop in Norway was Oslo. Not all that much going on in Oslo but we took a ferry over to the Viking Museum and saw some old Viking ships from the year 850. Now that is OLD! We headed back to the main restaurant area on the water to find a place to eat. I was with a few friends that have...
Maybe the title of this post is a little bold, but I think it is fitting for what I experienced on my last day in Memphis. I decided I was going to lay off the pork and find something new to eat. Part of this decision was based in the fact that most BBQ joints are closed on Sunday. In making that...
Yes. I ate a lot of pork again. The below video gives you the hour by hour. The expanded dialogue on the day follows. My previous BBQ adventures woke me up with a need for more smoked pork. I started the day easy with a coffee and a walk down main street to watch the trolleys and the early morning...
Yesterday I checked out the Memphis in May BBQ competition. I have wanted to experience this festival for about 5 years and so, after Miami I headed out to Memphis to eat some pork. I have 72 hours to eat as many ribs as I can so here we go. After I poked around all the tents, I went and made some...
Anytime I can get off the ship I go. When I am on the ship I do some research to see what to do and where to eat at ports. I searched online and found a place called Bazar. The description said trendy and cheap. Right up my alley. After walking around Rotterdam we finished the day at Bazar. I am so...
May 4th was my first day off the cruise ship in about a week and a half. We had just finished crossing the Atlantic Ocean headed to the Baltic region in Europe. Our first stop was in Lisbon, Portugal and needless to say I was very excited to get off the ship and have a great tapas dinner. We had an...
After being stranded in San Francisco because of snow in NYC, I finally made it to my next destination, Key West. I am at the bottom tip of the Florida keys to visit one of my favorite families, Bennett, Bruce and Baby Fallon Porter (And of course Butters too!). Shortly after my arrival Bruce and...
