because life's too short for a bad meal
No matter where we go or what we do, food is at the center of our plans. Every bite becomes a memory of that moment, since good food transpires beyond your taste buds. The people sharing the same bite with you, the ambiance of the restaurant, even the location of your dining table – all play an important role in making your meal become more than just about survival.
Join Luis and me, as we satisfy our food and drink cravings across the globe.

Does anything else hit the spot as much as a steaming bowl of ramen on a cold, wintry day? I’m not talking about the $1 packets you get at the grocery store, but a long-simmered pork bone broth accompanied with fresh fixings. Lucky for us, […]
Princeton always evokes a sense of nostalgia for me. My first job out of college was in this lovely town. Years later, when I began migrating for my career, I found myself returning to Princeton for drunk nights, weaving in and out of bars, and […]
After our office moved to the Financial District, I had to re-explore the area to see where all the best lunch spots are. Beyond finding quick meals to sustain myself through busy work days, I had to filter for costs too since FiDi is known […]
Brunch. I don’t know about you, but despite it being the most basic-bitch meal of the day, I can’t get enough of it. There’s something extremely comforting about eggs, carbs, and a generous side of meat. Plus, mimosas are a great source of my vitamin […]
