The George Inlet Lodge Crab Feast in Ketchikan, Alaska was an amazing tour which ended with one of the most memorable meals I’ve ever had. While on a cruise to Alaska’s Inside Passage and Glacier Bay National Park, we chose a shore excursion at our port stop in Ketchikan because (1) it involved a trip…
Caribbean Blend
The Caribbean Blend Beach Bar & Restaurant on the half-French half-Dutch island of St. Maarten was a great find that we almost missed. We were on a Caribbean cruise that had a port call on this island. We have been there many times and have always searched out one of their amazing beaches (Baie Rouge…
Don Antonio
I recently had what I think was the greatest pizza of my life in New York City. This discovery happened at Don Antonio’s at 309 West 50th Street between 8th & 9th Avenues. I learned about it when I watched an episode on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” called “Keepin’ It Real”. It featured…
Migrant Restaurant
The Migrant Restaurant in the Wailea Marriott Resort on the Island of Maui was a true surprise. After trying many restaurants on a recent trip to Maui and feeling underwhelmed, we stumbled on to this amazing restaurant on our way to the airport for our flight home. We had discovered they have a happy hour…
33rd Street Bistro

It’s their Oregon Blue Salad that’s been on their menu a long time, maybe since they opened in 1995. This salad consists of boneless skin on chicken thighs that…
North Shore Deli
The North Shore Deli located on the island of St. John is truly a food find that I would recommend to everyone. Nearly every time we’ve taken a Caribbean cruise that stops in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, we escape the crowded port town of Charlotte Amalie by taking the ferry over to St. John….
Karl Ratzsch’s
On a recent visit back home to Wisconsin, I was craving some good Milwaukee German food which I hadn’t had since I left the Midwest seven years ago. One of my favorite places to find a hearty German meal was always Karl Ratzch’s Restaurant, a landmark in downtown Milwaukee for well over a hundred years. I…
Frog and Onion Pub
The Frog and Onion Pub is a restaurant very near the cruise ship terminal at King’s Wharf, Bermuda. It’s an easy walk for cruise ship passengers in search of local food along with British and American pub food. The bar and restaurant is located in an old historic fort built from Bermudian limestone. The interior has…
