I love to eat. I love to travel. That’s why I am writing about a new tv show/website that my friends launched called Foodnap. They have been in production for 3.5 years, traveling around 14 cities in 6 countries. Foodnap is not about diners, drive-ins, or dives. It is not about the finest Michelin star...

September 1, 2013 by 510foodie No Comments

My friend and I were looking for places to eat in Chicago and first found “Slurping Turtle,” a restaurant of Takashi’s, which specializes in noodles. The menu didn’t “wow” us, but then we found the restaurant of his namesake. That was enough...

New Orleans: In Search of the Best Beignets

May 12, 2013 by 510foodie No Comments
What is a beignet? Beignets are deep fried dough covered with powered sugar. They are soft pillows of yumminess. You can’t visit New Orleans without stopping at Cafe du Monde for beignets and a cafe au lait. This is where everyone goes and it is a fun experience. Although the lines can be long, they...

Exploring Louisville, Kentucky: Part I

March 31, 2013 by 510foodie No Comments
I just got back from a conference in Louisville, Kentucky. (Pronounced Lou-uh-vul). I admit I wasn’t really looking forward to the location, but at the same time I do like exploring new territory. With some free time, a few colleagues and I headed a short distance outside Downtown to the Butchertown Market. The historical brick...
