I believe that life should consist of great meals sandwiched between great trips. I live to experience new places, new people, and best of all, new tastes. Once you’ve shut the suitcases in the trunk of the car, buckled the kids in, and begun pulling out of the driveway, anything and everything is possible.

We’ve had shoofly pie in Amish country, moussaka in Greece, Korean fried chicken in NY, and buttery croissants in Paris; our bags are packed and we’re ready for the next course.
