It’s time for another installment of my self-appointed quest to find the Best Ramen in Denver. Although I had already tried the chicken shio ramen at Jeff Osaka’s joint, Sushi-rama, I could not resist an invitation to try some additional bowls at the original source of Chef Osaka’s ramen empire — Osaka Ramen in RiNo. […]
Admittedly, when I first received the invite to stop by Spanky’s Roadhouse for brunch I was puzzled. When I think brunch, I don’t really think of stopping by a roadhouse. Do you even know what the word “roadhouse” means? According to Merriam-Webster it is “an inn or tavern usually outside city limits providing liquor and […]
Another bowl a ramen slurped means another contender to be added to my list for the Best Ramen in Denver. I recently headed to chef Jeff Osaka’s joint, Sushi-rama, after hearing they were adding a few of the same ramens offered at his other restaurant, Osaka Ramen, to the menu at the DTC and Lone […]
UPDATED: 12/18/2019 A lot of you have told me you love hearing about what I do and where I eat when I’m traveling. Today I’m sharing my experience of dining solo at one of the most talked about restaurants in New York City: Frenchette. During a quick visit to New York last week I found […]

After experiencing the magic of the Sunday Champagne Brunch at Ellygnton’s earlier this year, I was excited to return to the Brown Palace Hotel for another culinary experience. This time I was invited to dine at the elegant and regal Palace Arms restaurant to sample their new seasonal “Fall Harvest” dinner menu created by Chef Garrett Kasper. […]
UPDATED 12/22/2019: Gaijin is no longer at Zeppelin Station. The search for the Best Ramen in Denver continues. When I first heard about Gaijin Ramen & Yakitori at Zeppelin Station, I was immediately intrigued. Chef Bill Espiricueta has an impressive background, having worked in the kitchens of Acorn in RiNo as well as the Japanese restaurant Nobu, and […]
On my recent Pacific Northwest (PNW) road trip, my husband and I drove from Seattle, out to Cape Flattery in Neah Bay – the most northwesternmost section of the continental US – and through a slew of beautiful Washington state national parks and monuments (Olympic, Mt. Rainer, Mt. St. Helens). We eventually ended up heading into Oregon […]
Although many people end up spending a lot of their time in Miami sipping high-priced cocktails on South Beach, those who are willing to stray from the crowds of Miami Beach and go deeper into the more residential neighborhoods of El Portal and its emerging southern neighbor, Little River, you will find some of the most charming and […]
Looking for some awesome snowshoe or cross-country skiing trails in the Winter Park / Fraser area? I highly recommend an amazing little network of trails we discovered off Vasquez Road that is used for mountain biking in the summer. They are a charming little spiderweb of trails that don’t have a high volume of traffic (I’m almost hesitant […]
