From street-food to fine dining, traditional Italian to Asian-Fusion, being well-versed in global cuisine is the first step to culinary mastery.
Two Days, One Convention Centre, and Way Too Much Coffee
My feet are still recovering, if I'm honest. I left Queensland's biggest food trade shows weekend at BCEC Brisbane last week with sore arches, a bag of coffee beans I had zero business buying, and a story about a pizza guy I can't stop telling people at dinner parties. So let's start with him.

Turkish Lunch Adventure
I have eaten MREs that could legally be classified as war crimes. I have eaten chow hall “eggs” that were definitely poured out of a five‑gallon bucket labeled Product . I have eaten vending machine sandwiches that tasted like they had been assembled by someone who had only heard rumors about food. But nothing—absolutely nothing—compares to the meal I had in 2000 at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, when me and my friend Franki B walked off gate guard duty and straight into a stranger’s house like two feral raccoons who had decided to try our luck indoors.

Groundhog Stew and the Gospel of the Hills
There is a version of Appalachia sold to the world in glossy spreads, all rustic tables and heirloom vegetables plated like jewelry, and nothing about it comes near the truth of what actually fed people up in those hollers when I was a kid. The truth smelled like wood ash and wild onion, and it simmered for hours in a pot far too old for anyone to give it a proper age, in a house that never once considered itself poor, even though every soul who ate there qualified.

McDonalds: Still the best fast food restaurant?
As someone who has been both an employee and a customer of McDonalds, and someone who has eaten at most other fast food restaurants, I can comfortable say that McDonald’s is the best, and this isn’t shilling for McDonalds, hell they’d at least have to pay me to completely sell out to them but it’s best to face the facts, and although McDonalds has definitely gone down in overall quality, it still arguably does what it was always meant to do: Provide quick easy food that is relatively cheap.

Put Some Gravy on That Squirrel
Some of the foods that tell you the most about where you come from are the ones you never thought twice about eating. For me, squirrel gravy belongs near the top of that list. I grew up in western North Carolina eating squirrel at home, and the meal carried none of the novelty it might have for somebody seeing it on a menu today. It was supper, plain and simple, served with biscuits, pinto beans, fried potatoes, and whatever else could stretch across the table.
