Road Gourmet: December 2013
http://delamaidetravel.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
My culinary travel blog. Saturday, December 14, 2013. Sadly, on my last trip back to Paris, a visit to La Rhumerie found it horridly made over. Gone was the funkiness, the plastic coasters. The rum punch was still there but buried in a menu with many fancier drinks. Needless to say, I brought home a bottle of the Premiere Canne, as the white rhum is called, and sugar syrup to make myself a rum punch at home. The Trib and La Rhumerie may just be happy memories, but their spirit lives on.

Road Gourmet: Holiday Feast
http://delamaidetravel.blogspot.com/2014/01/holiday-feast.html
My culinary travel blog. Monday, January 6, 2014. Only on a road trip can you go to some of the best restaurants in Louisville, Santa Fe, Oklahoma City and Nashville within the space of a few days. That wasn't the point of our two-week trip over the holidays, but an added bonus that we could dine at Proof on Main, Cafe Pasqual's, Red Prime Steakhouse, and Etch as we made a round trip out to Santa Fe. Proof on Main, Louisville. Cafe Pasqual's, Santa Fe. In Santa Fe, the birthday celebration on New Year's ...

Road Gourmet: November 2013
http://delamaidetravel.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
My culinary travel blog. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Food, culture, and food culture. San Francisco has great food and lots of culture but our recent trip there, wonderful as it was, told me something about food culture. We had great experiences with breakfasts and lunches as well at the Tartine Bakery (a great pastrami sandwich and quiche), Craftsman and Wolves (the Rebel Within, a semi-hardboiled egg baked into a sausage muffin, has to be eaten to be believed) and some others to come.

Road Gourmet: September 2013
http://delamaidetravel.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
My culinary travel blog. Wednesday, September 18, 2013. Apps, appetite and adventure. An explosion of travel and dining apps provides more tips than ever, but the best guide may still be your nose. I don't mean just the sense of smell - grilled meat and garlic in oil can be traitors in leading you to a good meal - but your own "nose" for what looks like a good restaurant. Can the emblem or consulting the review on the spot tip the scale? Certainly we were also lucky. Another time we might pick a rest...

Road Gourmet: Atlantic tuna
http://delamaidetravel.blogspot.com/2013/07/atlantic-tuna.html
My culinary travel blog. Friday, July 19, 2013. Photo by Tamorlan via Wikimedia Commons. Something you don't see every day is two workmen sitting down to split a $2 salad for lunch. But that's what I witnessed at a dockside restaurant in Santander when a heaping platter of tomato, onion and tuna was set in front of two burly workers in blue coveralls.

Road Gourmet: June 2013
http://delamaidetravel.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
My culinary travel blog. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. A recent post from my food blog. When I lived in France, there was only one culinary experience I was bold enough to come back from the U.S. and brag about - Maryland crabs. From the time my friends in Baltimore first took me to Bo Brooks and I tasted the sweet white chunks of meat you pry out of these hardshell crabs, I have considered it one of the top eating experiences anywhere. Nowadays we go to Nick's Fish House and Grill. One could be forgiven for...
