Beer Me – Deutschland Edition

Clint R — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Germany is one of those countries (yes there are several) claiming status as the “birthplace” of beer and brewing. Indeed, there are many breweries in the country founded before the discovery of America. Further, while there are a few beers you can easily find throughout the nation, most often you’ll find each region, city, or […]

Nürnburgers – The First Sausages in Europe

Clint R — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Germany is well-known for its regional food specialties, with most localities offering their own dishes (and in some cases, full cooking styles) found nowhere else in the country. For example: Sauerkraut, one of the most stereotypically “German” foods to Americans, is rarely found in my grandparents’ home-state of Baden-Württemburg. However, once you cross the Main […]

Eating Too Much in Germany

Clint R — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 12:00:00 +0000

It wasn’t entirely our fault… No way to sugarcoat it, we overate during our stay in Germany. Beyond a lack of self-control, there were a few reasons for this. For one, it was exciting to enjoy dishes I grew up on after several months of exotic Singaporean, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Korean, Japanese, and Indian […]

Eating Curry For Every Meal in India

Clint R — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 12:00:00 +0000

We’ve made a point to try and find Indian food in every country of our journey so far; ranking them along the way (stay tuned). Naturally, we were more than excited to sample the authentic real thing when we visited the country. Also naturally, India secured the top of our rankings for Indian food. So […]

Japanese Cuisine – More Than Just Sushi

Clint R — Mon, 22 May 2023 13:00:00 +0000

(Of course, there’s plenty of sushi too) Japan’s culinary landscape is nothing short of incredible. While most in America are aware of the major dishes – sushi and ramen – an exploration of the country will uncover new things to try on a daily basis. For example: everybody knows “ramen” as an individual thing, but […]

Banchan – You Get Free Sides With Every Meal in Korea

Clint R — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Often, the most pleasantly surprising cultural discoveries involve receiving free food. We first had this experience with tapas in Spain, but were not prepared for the idea of Banchan in Korea. For the unaware (and those who didn’t click the Wikipedia link above), Banchan are basically free side dishes served with every meal in Korea. […]

Eating on Grill Your Own Clams Street in Busan

Clint R — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Nearby Taejongdae park in Busan, you’ll find an unassuming street by the beach: The street is covered with tents, and signs pointing you towards it read “to Grilled Clam Town:” The place looks unassuming – it is just a row of nearly identical restaurants all offering the same basic dishes. Not to mention the fact […]

Eating Local and International in The Philippines

Clint R — Sat, 11 Mar 2023 14:00:00 +0000

The culinary landscape of the Philippines is unique, to say the least. While the country definitely has its own amazing local cuisine, dishes have often been influenced by the country’s long history as a Spanish and then US colony. Additionally, the country’s heavy reliance on tourism in the modern era (especially in the places we […]

A Food Tour Through the Old Quarter of Hanoi

Clint R — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Vietnam is full of incredible cuisine; however for the uninitiated it can be a bit daunting to access. For one thing, the English language has not “penetrated” as deeply into the culture (at least in the north, where we traveled) so very often you won’t see any English at all on front-facing signs. To go […]
