When I stumbled across post after post about this chicken sandwich and its Michelin-star status, I was intrigued. Created by Michelin-starred chef Christopher Bleidorn, this sandwich takes an entire week to prepare. With a focus on farm-raised, local chickens and a commitment to quality over quantity, each sandwich lives up to Bleidorn’s reputation and reflects his expert understanding of flavors and textures. 

In my ideal life I drink one to two kombuchas a day. The best kombucha brand you can buy bottles from is Synergy (I am still thinking about the kombucha I had on tap in Maine). TRAGICALLY, the Bow Wow no longer stocks it, and only has Health-Ade, which is notably worse and sometimes too funky, even for me. 

I left London last summer with several memorable restaurant experiences. St. John was one of them. I had begged my friend Eric—whose place I was staying at—to take me. A victim of theft, I was a financial dependent of my gracious friends during those final weeks in London. It is largely thanks to them that I enjoyed what should have been a stressful time.

Soft serve ice cream has always been more than a sweet treat for me – it’s a link to my childhood and a bridge between my family’s cultures. My dad, half-Norwegian and half-Greek, loved taking my sister and I for ice cream outings. 

Hen and Heifer in Guilford stands as a small yet delightful haven for those seeking incredible pastries. The ambiance of this patisserie is inviting, a cozy space that draws you in with the aroma of freshly baked goods. The attention to detail in both the pastries and the décor sets a refined yet welcoming tone.

Anyone who knows me knows I love setting people up on blind dates. And because I love food so much, people often ask me to recommend date night restaurants. So! Here are the places I most usually suggest.
