The epic journey of a Oaxacan chef

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:50:00 -0800

SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: Pilar Cabreras world had changed how she taught her cooking classes, how she ran her restaurant, her vision of her gastronomic future and she had only been back from her month-long visit to Toronto for 10 days.

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:55:37 -0700

SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: We welcome you, oh month of November. While Thanksgiving reigns in November, there are still quite a few noteworthy events to capture your imagination. Before it gets too cold, New York City Marathon offers runners the opportunity to compete for amazing prizes. Sitka WhaleFest celebrates the abundant marine mammal population in this part of Alaska. And if you are in the mood for something completely different, try yourself out at the World Duck Calling Championship or perhaps at the World's Largest Disco. I would like to attend both of those events .... Here is a sampling of interesting events in November of this year 2009 ...

Hello from San Francisco - A Bike Ride across the Golden Gate Bridge and Dinner at McCormick & Kulet

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:03:39 -0700

SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: A big storm was forecast for our second day in San Francisco, but so far we had been lucky. Our culinary tour through the North Beach area had gone off without a hitch. Even the sun peeked out here and there. Local food and culture expert Tom Medin who runs Local Taste of the City Tours, provided us with a great introduction to San Francisco and its lifestyle as well as a sampling of the culinary treats on offer in this bustling Italian-flavoured neighbourhood in San Francisco.This three and a half hour tour had not only enhanced our knowledge of San Francisco; the various treats we were offered had also stimulated our taste buds.

We said goodbye to Tom on Washington Square and started heading up a steep street called Filbert Street to explore another San Francisco landmark: the Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill. Walking up the steep incline I was amazed how people are able to park their cars on these streets. As we continued further up the hill, a beautiful view opened up towards downtown San Francisco, crowned by the Transamerica Pyramid. Through the trees we even got glimpses towards the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Late Lunch at the American Farmhouse Grill in Manhattan Beach, California

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:53:42 -0700

SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: American Farmhouse Grill has been receiving some good word of mouth advertising in the South Bay so we decided to give it a try. On this specific day we were in the mood for burgers, steak or something along those lines. We were also not too far from their address at 350 North Sepulveda Blvd. The decision was easy. Let's check out the American Farmhouse Grill. I generally knew where it was located. For those that do not, it is in a super cute small mini mall, sort of Western themed, just North of 5th Street. Parking is plentiful around the restaurant and it is shared with several other establishments.

Riding the Miniature Railroad at Wilson Park in Torrance, California

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:08:22 -0700

SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: I have been watching a lot of local Torrance TV lately. My favorite show is Spotlight Torrance, where reporters visit popular, quirky and cool local establishments. The miniature railroad at Wilson Park was featured recently. It looked very interesting and most promising. Just last weekend we were perusing the local events trying to find a place to visit. I remembered the show and after a quick Internet search found the Southern California Live Steamers club web site. They run the miniature railroad in Torrance and their site had all of the necessary information, the most important being that first Sunday of each month free rides are given from 11am until 3pm and also every third Saturday. Lucky for us this was a first Sunday. We quickly packed our stuff and headed out to Wilson Park.

Lunch at the Lobster Roll on Long Island, in Amagansett, NY

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:41:20 -0700

SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: Having planned to spend a nice week in the Hamptons on Long Island we were set on enjoying some good seafood in the process. Lobster Rolls are our favorite roadside, or should we say waterside, treat and we searched for places that serve this specialty. One of the most and best reviewed local spots was, wouldn't you know it, the Lobster Roll restaurant. We stopped there after a most pleasant visit to the Montauk Point State Park. Our GPS had it in their list of local seafood restaurants which meant that we would not miss it. It's interesting to note that you cannot actually see the restaurant name from the road. All it says is "Lunch". Ok then.
