Places

Gaggan 1.0

One sunny and sticky afternoon, we arrived at a lovely white mansion on a back street in Bangkok to have lunch.

It was one of those graceful rooms (multi rooms actually) that made me feel that I was not at a stuffy Michelin but at someone’s home (a grand one but still) for a casual meal with friends.

Ho Jiak

How often do you get to eat authentic Malaysian food? If you live in Sydney, Australia, you can find it at Ho Jiak, one of four restaurants by Chef Junda Khoo.

Tiny Tokyo Food Trucks

Like San Francisco and New York City, food trucks are big in Tokyo. Well not exactly big but tiny in fact.

House of Red Pearl

I’m a big fan of Jean-Georges. We’ve been to many of his restaurants in New York; they are all unique, and the food never lets you down. (Oddly enough his only restaurant in Paris is sort of so-so.)

Amsterdam

OK, so if you’re a young bro, you probably go to smoke some legal weed (come on guys, it’s legal nearly everywhere now) and gawk at the women in the windows in the red-light district.

Stories

Travel is full of surprises—whether it's getting lost, stumbling upon a hidden gem, or witnessing the unexpected. These moments always turn into the best stories.

Stories

The Beckoning Cat Temple

You’ve seen them everywhere, especially in Asian restaurants: small statues, which portray a cat sitting up and beckoning with its front paw. Sometimes the paw is actually waving (with the help of batteries).

Well, of course, there’s an interesting backstory.

A hook-up in Madrid

We recently checked into a VRBO for an eight-night stay in Barrio de las Letras in Madrid, a neighborhood that was home to some great 17th-century writers.

Luxembourg Garden

We are back in Paris and there’s so much to do with hardly any time to do it. However, one of my favorite things is to walk through the Jardin du Luxembourg, one of the city’s most beautiful parks.

In the Land of Pintxos

It’s been a while since we’ve been to Spain so here we go, top to bottom starting in Basque. The Basque country straddles the North of Spain and the South of France.

I wish I’d paid attention in French class

It all begins with an idea.

Recipes

One of the best things about travel is tasting the local food. We recreate the authentic flavors of our travels with these easy-to-make recipes from around the world.

Recipes

Bac Ha Shrimp Cooked In Ginger

The Vietnamese prefer to leave the shell on the shrimp because, they say, it keeps the shrimp moist. Americans prefer peeled shrimp because it’s less of a hassle to eat. Choose whichever method suits you.

Szechuan Chicken

Szechuan Chicken is tasty and quick to prepare. A little chopping, a quick stir fry, and it’s ready to eat.

Summer Gazpacho

One of the great pleasures of late summer is finding ripe tomatoes in the farmers' market. Remarkably, they actually taste like tomatoes, unlike those round red things that are shipped from a hothouse to the supermarket and are bred to travel, not to taste good.

And one of the best things to make with these precious tomatoes is fresh gazpacho.

Dry-Brined Roast Chicken

Forget about cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving. Let’s face it, it’s a big old boring bird that is dried breast meat drowned in gravy. A chicken is a better choice and far more manageable and tastier. Your best option: try brining it for an extra tasty bird.

Linguine With Clams and Mussel

One of the easiest and most delicious pasta dishes is made with clams and mussels. This takes no time at all (less than 20 minutes) and is pretty hard to mess up. (Just don’t overcook the seafood.)
