Burger Battle returned for the ninth year in a row. I had to travel last year and wasn’t in town for the event, but I was super excited about going this year! They moved the event to March instead of May. Weather-wise, that seemed like a good call. However, it also looks like it didn’t

My inner Colombian will always squeal in delight at the thought of eating an arepa. Whether it’s plain and slathered in butter or split and stuffed with meat and/or cheese, I will have a hard time saying no. It used to be that arepas were something that we got when our mother made them for
Skip to Recipe I don’t watch nearly as much anime as I used to in my younger days, but a show still gets me hooked occasionally. Right now, Shokugeki no Soma (Food Wars) is that show. This isn’t the first time that this show has inspired me to run to my kitchen to recreate one
