The beach. It’s one of the many reasons people travel to Mexico, perhaps the most common reason. I’m not surprised. Mexico has amazing stretches of sand. And lunch on the beach, well that is truly part of the culture (through cuisine) in Mexico too. During the Beach Thursday series this winter, I highlighted a few […]

Condé Nast Traveler’s Hot Listed Cafe des Artistes
When the Conde Nast Traveler “Hot List” issue comes in the mail, I always review it. I check to see if I stayed at, drank at, or dined at any of the mentioned. And fortunately, I have. Yet I am often surprised when certain places are mentioned over others I know from the location. The debate often […]
“El Arrayán” translates into “tasty Mexican food” in Puerto Vallarta
Mexican cuisine is just one option when visiting Puerto Vallarta. The seaside town provides arguably the best dining scene in all of Mexico outside of the capital city. But as patrons can chose from the numerous top-notch international options (as this week of posts shall highlight) many always, well I always, search for good quality local cuisine. In […]
Alagua in Mazatlán’s Golden Zone
Just up from the golden sand beaches of Mazatlán’s zona dorada (golden zone) beach goers can sit down and enjoy the food and cheerful ambiance of Alagua. Ceviche, oysters, scallops, shrimp and the local huachinango fish fill the menu. It’s seafood, seafood, seafood. And it’s delicious. On my visit, our large table ordered most everything off […]
La Puntilla on the Mazatlán Waterfront
Just across from the sands of Stone Island lunch is served. Outside on an open air deck, La Puntilla patrons enjoy not just the views of the passing cruise ships, ferries to La Paz, and cargo ships, but good quality seafood. One Saturday afternoon as part of a table of eight, I noticed big parties […]
Lunch at Grandma Tina’s
In between a tequila tasting (or rather a blue agave tasting since it is not officially from “Tequila”) at the award winning Los Osuna and an impressive zip-line canopy tour we stopped for lunch. We were 30 minutes outside the city of Mazatlan and away from the coast. We were deep in the state of […]
Charleston Crab House is much more than a good Crab Cake
After a taste of the savory barbeque and the classic of shrimp and grits one item still existed on my personal Charleston ‘must eat’ list: crab cakes. So where better to eat a low country pan seared cake of goodness then the Charleston Crab House. With the first steps inside the restaurant the mood was […]
Charleston Cuisine in Blossom
The vibrant restaurant scene of downtown Charleston makes for a perfect place to take in an evening meal. And after watching the sunset down on the waterfront, I headed up to East Bay Street for dinner at Blossom for a delightful dinner in Charleston. Just as my martini arrived, the chef came out to greet […]
