This post is long overdue, but I wanted to make sure that I captured my trip to Khartoum, Sudan in a way that would do it justice. There is a lot that I've left out considering that I took over 400 pictures while there. That's more impressive than you might think considering that it's "illegal"... Continue Reading →
The Olive Tap Providence – Review
While walking through Wayland Square in Providence, RI, I stumbled upon a store called, "The Olive Tap," but it wasn't there the last time I was in Wayland Square, so it surprised me at how fast it must have been set up. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted rows of shiny silver... Continue Reading →
Chicken Pot Pie Recipe Review (Trader Joe’s Style)
Man Fuel: I'm thrilled to announce yet another Guest Post! This time from Marisela Navarro. She is a pharmacist, turned writer. Although, maybe she's always been a writer considering that she's been writing since she was just a little girl. You can view some of her work on her own blog simply named, "Write," where...

A Visual Food Tour of Salem, MA
As an anniversary present, my girlfriend gifted me a trip to historic Salem, MA and a one night stay in the Hawthorne Hotel. We spent less than 24 hours there, but we saw a lot of what Salem has to offer on the off-season (i.e. not Halloween). A few of the highlights included seeing a... Continue Reading →
Wayland Square Diner Review – Providence, RI
Great breakfasts are hard to find, which is strange when you consider that most people don't set the bar very high for what they're looking for in a breakfast. Most of us that go out for breakfast just want something hot that isn't too greasy or soggy if it's savory or something that isn't too... Continue Reading →
A Visual Food Tour of Brooklyn, NY
A couple of months ago, I attended a wedding in Brooklyn, New York. Coincidentally, this was the same weekend that hurricane Sandy hit the east coast, but we managed to leave NY before it got really bad. That little nugget of information is only tangentially related and didn't really affect my stay, but I do... Continue Reading →
Sunshine Blogger Award
Apparently, I've been nominated by foodisthebestshitever for a community Sunshine Blog Award. In order to accept the award, you kind of have to perpetuate a chain letter on the blog community by: Thanking the person that nominated you; Answering a bunch of questions (they seem to be different sometimes); and Nominating ten more blogs for...

Gracie’s Restaurant Review – Providence, RI
Just in case you don't read this very detailed review, let me sum it up by saying that Gracie's is [was] the best restaurant in Providence. I don't want to hear about Atwells Ave. or Federal Hill. Gracie's is [was] the reigning champ as far as I'm concerned. I know thems are fightin' words, but I'm not... Continue Reading →
Los Andes Review – Providence, RI
Back in high school, a Vietnamese friend introduced me to a Colombian restaurant in Central Falls, RI where he grew up called, El Paisa (the irony here is that I have a Colombian friend from Central Falls as well, but he didn't bring up the restaurant). This quickly became one of our favorite places to... Continue Reading →
