On my trip back through Denver, I made a point to stop at one of my longtime hometown favorites, City Park Tavern. Some places simply know how to make you feel welcome, and this is one of them. This visit called for their Eggs Benedict, […]
The road to Eleven Mile Canyon along Highway 24 is on of those quiet Colorado passages where the journey matters as much as the destination. We are chasing for a spot on the Dream Stream – its bends, its promise – bu found an unexpected […]
I had recently read an article that the traditional model of the office cafeteria – or dining hall- is becoming obsolete, a trend accelerated by hybrid and remote work.
At Creighton, the opposite seems to be true. Colleges are transitioning to more flexible, modern food programs and here the cafeteria has adapted impressively. With so many specific dietary requirements – no flour, no dairy, no fish – the dining halls have found ways to meet my colleagues where they are, offering options.
Some times the best meal isn’t found in a trendy restaurant – or tucked away eatery – its served in a paper tray, under stadium lights, with the crack of a bat in the background. For me, the best hot dog in the city (next […]
Omaha, where local lore and good food often go hand in hand. According to urban myth (and quite a few proud locals), the Reuben sandwich was created in Omaha. While its origin story may be debated from New York to Nebraska, one thing is clear: […]
New York City – where even the morning air is seasoned with something electric. Here waiting for the box office to open, surrounded by that special kind of anticipation only Broadway can stir. But even before the box office opens and the curtain even rises, there is the matter of breakfast – and that means a bagel.
Not just any bagel. A New York bagel. Today I am at Junior’s – for something iconic: a fresh warm bagel with a generous spread of cream cheese. Slightly crisp on the outside, chewy all the right ways. It is the bite that reminds you why New York does breakfast like nowhere else. you taste the city waking up.
Stay tuned – more favors to come once the curtain rises.
Summer has a way of collecting moments – art we chase, gardens we wander, meals we did not expect. On a recent trip, we went in search of color, controversy, and some how ended the day with the best burger that had a side of […]
Some places are more than just a meal, they’re a slice of the region and the culture itself. The small town of Paxton Nebraska wears it’s heart on it’s sleeve in the shape of Ole’s Big Game Steakhouse. On the travel route lined with corn […]
Holidays are a time for re-connection, comfort and a little indulgence – and Syrup delivered all of that and more during out recent stop. Tucked into the ID, Ego of North Cherry creek of the bustle of the morning, the restaurant’s invite set tone. I settled on eggs my way – whites scrambled with tomato. the tots make a memorable dish with the condiments loaded.. It is both nostalgic and fresh twist.
The meal wasn’t just about the food, it was the surprise and delight moment. Cozy atmosphere, conversations and sparkle of the holiday. a highlight moment to savor in every sense.
Traveling and meeting friends for Breakfast. The Familiar scent of sizzling bacon and fresh brewed coffee greeted us as we walked into IHop. Traveling back home this morning, feels like i found comfort of home and friendship in crepes. Breakfast is not just a meal; […]
