Exploring life's off-the-beaten-path options.
I have driven this stretch of Fairfax Avenue many times. The colorful markets, the lunch menus written in foreign characters and the combination of onion / garlic aromas have always caught my attention. I am not sure why I haven’t stop here before considering it is relatively close to my house. Little Ethiopia started to [...]
Looks like bad weather is following me wherever I go (remember my Palm Springs odyssey). I just returned from Temecula but, this time, rain didn’t deter me from having a fantastic culinary adventure. This area may have some high end restaurants, presided by very talented chefs but, in this post, I would like to refer [...]
I jumped from my seat when the recorded voice on the Metro said to get out at the Pershing Square stop for a visit to Grand Central Market. For some reason, I was going to make it till Union Station. The rain sprinkled my camera lens during the short walk from the station to the [...]
In an effort to fill my mouth with the delicious flavor of the renowned black mole, I visited and Oaxacan restaurant located in Koreatown. I ordered an “enmoladas” plate after perusing thru the many interesting options on the menu. A plate of layers was served a few minutes later: three folded tortillas, thick mole [...]
I have done the same mistake before and I am not sure why I keep making it. The last day in Thailand, after two weeks eating curries and pad thais, which by the way were delicious, we felt a little bit homesick. At the airport, we decided to order a pair of juicy, tender, “American [...]
About a year ago, I posted a photo essay about San Francisco. I was pretending we were flying over the Bay City taking a look at all the things I like about it. The other day, I was brainstorming post ideas and realized I have never created a photo essay about Las Vegas. That is [...]

What better way to celebrate than remembering some of the best adventures of these past two years? Today, I bring you a recount of the Most Exotic and Weird Food we have tasted. Deep [...]
This is the post I have been more interested to share about Puebla. The city can be exalted because of many factors (architecture, history, arts, modernity). I prefer to praise it because of its gastronomic offerings. There were so much new things to try that I ran out of time. If you love food, Puebla [...]
I have been tagged to participate on “The Next Big Thing.” Don’t worry. I am not getting into reality TV or anything like that. Super, awesome blogger Rich from Unwire Me (a blog helping people to build a platform that communicates trust, create engagement and boost sales) has asked me to participate in a networking [...]
If a stranger offers to fly you to a not so well known part of Mexico (like that is going to happen), you should accept without hesitation. One day or two devouring the succulent local specialties requires bold decisions. It looks like everywhere you go in Mexico; a huge selection of insanely good food is [...]
