With little English spoken and the Russian mafia with there hands in everything, Kelsey, Anthony and I ventured out to find the local market, eat some wild, wild, game and explore the ancient architecture of the czars. With 2 days to explore, I had to break Russia up into 3 parts. Part one, above,...
I was on my own in Estonia. Anthony had work on the ship to attend to. It was a bit rainy but that didn’t deter me from finding a giant pancake and the best ‘lil Estonian buffet in town. Music by Toe Tag. My exploration took me into a music shop where I found some local Hip-Hop. ...
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...
I started my trip to Europe this morning. Well…really it was 2 mornings ago, I just have not slept yet. I flew out of JFK to London where I had an 11 hour layover before continuing on to Copenhagen. I arrived in London Heathrow Airport at 6am and flew through customs. I claimed my bag,...
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...
There is so much to talk about it is hardly the time for me to be losing a solid internet connection. But that is the story and purpose of this post. In the next few weeks I will be in Europe, joining Ant on the boat and then doing some work in Denmark and London. I will try and post updates as...
Last Saturday I competed in the risotto challenge. Me and 14 other contestants went head to head for best dish. The challenge was a lot of fun and it was great to see so many familiar faces but also meet a bunch of new ones. I did not win, nor place, but I was doing it for the love of food and...
I finally made it to Marlow and sons the other night. I met up with my buddy Tarikh for a quick catch up on all things Brooklyn, digital and bike oriented. We sat at the end of the bar so we could chat with the bartender and get some nice insights on what wine would pair well with our food. I...
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...
Tallinn was the one place on the itinerary that I have never heard of. I had no idea what to expect. It’s a nice little city with a population just over 400K. We went on a hop-on-hop-off bus tour of the town. We saw a lot of sights and we saw a lot of Hesburger joints. Hesburger is the McDonalds...
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...
I have been in Miami the past 3 days for the WOMM-U conference. I had a little talk to do and I needed to reconnect with some old Womma peeps. This time the conference was moved from Downtown Miami to the Ritz South Beach. Needless to say the hotel, pool, restaurant and service held up to the...
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...
