On a trip to Seattle, the one destination you need to visit is Pike Place Market. Located on the waterfront, this is a one-stop-shop for all things Seattle! You’ll find locals here as well as tourists, all looking for fresh fish, fruits, veggies, or flowers or buying local goods, arts, and crafts. We could go […]

We had seen the Kooky Canuck restaurant before while visiting the downtown area (seeing shows at the Orpheum and such), but after seeing its “Kookamonga Challenge” attempted on Man Versus Food on the Travel Channel, we knew we’d have to pay this place a visit. Just what is a “Kookamonga Challenge”? Well, it’s a chance at […]

Charles Vergo’s Rendezvous is the home to my favorite Memphis-style barbecue ribs. The pulled pork is delicious, but the Rendezvous is known worldwide for the ribs. If you’re planning a trip, know that you won’t find the entrance on a main street. Yes, you have to walk down an alley, go down to a basement, and […]

Do you love to eat fish? If so, definitely put Japan on your list of places to visit. Japan was overflowing with fresh fish dishes cooked (or un-cooked) up in innovative ways. My only problem with this is that I don’t like fish. Unpopular opinion, I know, but I’m from north Mississippi and just didn’t […]

I bet you didn’t even know a “Sweet Potato Capital of the World” exists. Well, it does, and it’s right here in our home state of Mississippi! Vardaman‘s sweet potato history began in 1915 when farmers found that the area’s climate and soil were a great match for growing the potatoes, and, by passing the […]

In-N-Out Burger is a restaurant that we kept reading about over and over. Its hamburgers are one of those posted-too-often pictures on Instagram. Is there really a burger place that’s worth fussing over like that? Or is it just one of those fad places where people want to be seen? We decided to find out […]

Ben’s Chili Bowl, located in Washington, D.C., is one of those iconic restaurants that I’ve heard about so many times that I associate it with the name of its city. When you go to DC, you gotta have a chili half-smoke at Ben’s! When you eat at Ben’s, you’ll be joining the likes of people […]
