The Land of Missed Sandwiches

July 9, 2008

How many times have we discovered, too late, that we had been in the presence of something which at the time it was available we ignored, dismissed, or just didn’t see but, now, we would love to experience, but cannot because circumstances have changed and that thing is no longer at hand? (This goes for [...]

Atlanta: Super H Mart

June 21, 2008

Please take just a second and click on this link: Super H Mart. Thanks! Neat, huh? That’s the main page for a Korean grocery store chain that I truly, truly wish had a branch in Tampabay. Now, if you haven’t already done so, return to that link and in the upper right hand corner, click [...]

Shep’s Deli

May 31, 2008

One morning I walked down to the Munich train station. My hotel wasn’t serving breakfast yet, and I didn’t know where else to go. Der München Hauptbahnhof didn’t disappoint! I had beer and sausage for breakfast for the first time in my life. It was a Weißbier and a crispy, dark brown bratwurst on a [...]

Honolulu’s Maunakea Marketplace

April 25, 2008

Too often, when people think of Hawaii, they think only of Waikiki. Waikiki is beautiful. Even the locals enjoy its energy and fun. Fascinating, I think, is that actual people live in locales that most of us consider exotic. They have a day to day existence there, they work there, grow old there, have families [...]

Swanson’s

April 22, 2008

A friend recently took me to Swanson’s. I can’t find it listed in any phone directory or search engine. It may not even have a name. Even the address is in doubt. Is it 5 [space] 25 Gulfport Blvd. or 5 [missing number] 25 Gulfport Blvd.? Regardless, all you do is drive west on 22nd [...]

Mazzaro’s Italian Market

March 12, 2008

About once a week, I come here to eat lunch, replenish my supply of cheese and wine, and order something from the deli or meat counter to take home for supper. Sometimes I go just to loiter over espresso and soak up the ambiance. I think, it’s the overwhelming sensory input of Mazzaro’s that brings [...]

Saturday Morning Market

March 4, 2008

For primo loitering, go to the Saturday Morning Market. And, go hungry. There’s lots to eat from established restaurants, but also independent market-only cooks. Farmer/fisher vendors bring their produce and products, too. Everyone’s favorite–you have to get there early to get some because they always sell out quickly–is a fish paste made from freshly caught [...]
