We’ve been living at my parent’s house as our kitchen undergoes renovation. Yes, the kitchen re-do is finally under way! While under normal circumstances, I would dread the inconvenience, it just so happens that right now, it’s the best thing for me. If I was my normal, overly busy self I’d be annoyed that my commute to the city is longer. With morning sickness still lingering, I’ve limited making plans anyway.

In-N-Out Burger busy I am no longer an In-N-Out Burger virgin. When you’re a reporter within the restaurant trade industry, it’s a rare chain whose name you don’t at least recognize. So I’d heard of In-N-Out Burger for years, but it wasn’t until I read Tricia Honea’s blog post here at Uptake on the chain that I had an inkling it was a fast food favorite.

Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona Recently my niece was talking to us about moving to Spain after she finishes college. As she told us about her high school exchange program where she spent a month on Majorca , I started to day dream about my last visit to Barcelona . This always happens when the weather finally gets warm in San Francisco, and if we walk by the delicious smells of Contigo while out walking our dog.

Of all the strange fads and trends that sweep through the Twittering classes of London, I never thought the concept of the underground restaurant would ever catch on. It seemed like such an odd idea, paying someone to host a dinner party and being forced to make small-talk with a bunch of people you’d never met; and after all, if I wanted to pay £20 for my dinner aren’t there enough overground restaurants in London to take your money, and provide a bigger menu and a nice quiet table for two by the window into the bargain? And yet, persuaded by more open-minded and enthusiastic people than myself (hard to believe such people exist, I know), in March last year I found myself knocking on the door of a handsome Victorian townhouse somewhere in Kilburn, and ushered into the front room of Ms Marmite Lover’s original Underground Restaurant along with 20 or 30 others

A few years ago, while traveling in Mauritius, I caught an episode of “Deep Fried Paradise” on the Travel Channel. I found myself captivated – one, that someone would create an entire television show dedicated to deep fried food – had they heard my secret wish for such a thing? Second, that a restaurant only about 15 miles away from my U.S.

Mas Empanadas: homemade with natural ingredients I’m a big fan of versatile foods. It is great when you find that perfect edible item that can just as easily be stuck in your purse and eaten on the go as it can be savored with a fork and knife at a sit down meal. Burritos and sandwich wraps have long occupied this highly valuable class of chow

Amusement parks = hot dog heaven I have a lot of my mother in me. If you don’t like the food and prices at amusement park-style concession stands, then for Pete’s sake, don’t plan your day so that you have to eat there. But my husband is an in-law and apparently one who did not get the memo

Densely Populated Florence Italy Visiting friends who live just outside of Florence taught me that the area has a thriving agritourism industry that would be perfect for a return visit with my family. Similar to bed and breakfasts, what you find are converted rustic farm houses that have rooms or small apartments with complete kitchens and often pools. This style can be a nice and casual alternative to staying at the Westin Excelsior Florence for example

Best Monte Cristo sandwich in the country Decades ago, I walked into the restaurant at The Ahwahnee in Yosemite National Park with my parents and didn’t have time to get comfortable before they were saying, “Kids, put the menus down. We’re leaving.” It was just too pricey for a family of four living on a civil servant’s salary.
