The street food in Thailand was by far the best I have ever had. JB agrees now but he was so nervous to eat in Thailand because everyone freaked him out with travel tales of getting sick off street food! He couldn't believe how adventurous I was ready to be trying all different street foods (being careful about avoiding gluten of course!) because I'm usually the picky restaurant eater between the two of us 😂

But food + travel is my greatest passion and joy in life and I think enjoying local, authentic foods in new cities is one of the best ways to explore and get a feel for the local culture. Planning my meals when traveling takes up about 90% of the research I do! 

If you know what to look for and are careful you should be 100% fine tasting all the delicious street food all over the world! 

This is some of the best pad thai I've ever had, on Yaowarat street in Bangkok's Chinatown. I organized a street food tour through Bangkok Food Tours and it was EPIC! They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy and were so nice, flexible and knowledgeable. We loved talking to our guide about the food just as much as we enjoyed eating it.

The Best Affordable Meal In Paris

This restaurant is perfect for an affordable and convenient dinner with friends in Paris, without sacrificing ambiance or food quality!

Eiffel tower lit up at night in Paris

A few years ago in early December, I found myself in Paris for work. And while I know most of you would rather see Paris in the summer, winter is a magical time to be in the city of lights and love. The cold, crisp air, the holiday lights, the sprinkling of snow over the beautiful buildings…it’s so romantic and peaceful. Even though I was there for a boring work conference, I have such fond memories of that trip, strolling past the Eiffel Tower all lit up, hearing wisps of music and chatter in a French lilt, I felt so calm, happy and lucky to be there!

I’ll tell you a secret though: I didn’t love Paris the first time I went. Granted, I was nineteen, there for a whirlwind two days and it was my first ever trip to Europe. I had no idea what I was doing or how to plan an itinerary for a trip like that. 

But since then I’ve been fortunate enough to have been back to Paris a few times and have really grown to love the city. It may seem imposing and unfriendly at first, but its romanticism just cannot be beat. 

On this particular work trip, I had a free evening to meet a friend who lived in Paris. He took me to a local restaurant that to this day I still drool over. It had all the elements I was looking for: a local spot with a bit of a scene, relatively affordable (it’s still Paris, after all) and most importantly, the food was incredible. 

The restaurant is called Le Plomb du Cantal and their specialties are truffade and aligot. Truffade is a traditional rural French dish made up of thinly sliced potatoes cooked in goose fat and folded into melted tome fraiche (a French cheese). It is the gooiest, cheesiest, most comfortingly indulgent dish I’ve ever tasted and you need it in your life. Aligot is very similar but is made up of mashed potatoes with a tome cheese. 

Steak and potatoes at Au Plomb du Cantal restaurant in Paris

I ordered the entrocote, which is a classic French steak, and the truffade. Paired with a bottle of French red wine off the very decent and affordable wine list, and it was the perfect meal. I am not exaggerating when I say I licked my plate clean!


Le Plomb du Cantal
an excellent choice for a delicious, affordable meal in Paris. I loved it and highly recommend going.

Of all the amazing neighborhoods to eat, and resta Of all the amazing neighborhoods to eat, and restaurants to try in Rome, Vatican City doesn't exactly scream "foodie destination" but let's face it, after you've braved the overwhelming crowds and marveled at the majestic art and history, you want food, pronto. 

You don't have to settle for overpriced tourist traps peddling frozen pizza as "authentic" I promise! 

We discovered an adorable Italian bistro just a ten-minute walk from the Vatican called La Zanzara. Local, delicious, authentic and the perfect spot to rest your feet and refuel. AND they had gluten free crackers for the cheese plate!
