Portland, Maine

Ladies and gentlemen. What I bring to you this month is the trip that gave me the final push I needed to start my blog, presented in a four part series: Portland, Acadia, Cape Breton and Halifax. I was inspired to write about my trip through Maine and Nova Scotia because I am a couponing…

Dough Doughnuts: 6 in 60 Challenge

The morning of March 23, 2018 started out like any other: I listened to Go Flex by Post Malone as I got ready for work; I hop, skipped, and jumped to the train station; then I proceeded to eat a hefty piece of green tea swiss roll cake for breakfast. And then another Entenmann’s mini cake…

Feng Gourmet Tea House (Gong Fu Cha)

There is not enough tea in all of Flushing to cleanse my body after almost a full year of living here, but I am trying my hardest to stay pure. On a rainy day in February, Logan and I ventured back out into Flushing, Queens for part two of our Tour de Tea. I’ve heard…

Donut Crazy: Ivy League Infatuation

Ah, Connecticut. I’ve always wanted to go to ‘the state that’s full of surprises’, but I’ve wondered, after the Beluga Whale Exhibit recommended as the #2 attraction on Google, what else is there to do? Well, be warned, Connecticut is quite a devilish little minx of a state. This quick trip turned out to be quite…

Randy’s Donuts: LA’s Hottest Icon

A little over a year ago, I started to vocalize my theory that one day, one day very soon, cows were going to take over the world. My bovine conspiracy theory began to rapidly gain support, and after a few articles, speeches and screenplays, I had a small but fierce cult following preparing their futures…

Sidecar Doughnuts: The World’s Fre$hest Doughnuts

I owe it to my followers (all six of them) to scope out the local doughnut scene wherever I travel, be it the coffee shop around the block or a supermarket across the country. For stop number two on my California donut adventures, I zeroed in on the Sidecar Doughnuts flagship store in Costa Mesa….

Krispy Kreme: The OG Glazed Donut

During my Christmas vacation 2017, I managed to stuff my face at three different donut locations in just ten short days. I am truly my own biggest inspiration. I was in California for less than twenty four hours when, while last minute gift shopping in Mission Viejo, I saw a Krispy Kreme sign calling to…

Brewnuts: Donut Mess with Cle

Sometimes the food world tries to put two very opposite but respectively awesome things together to make one super-mega awesome dish. But two incredible flavors don’t always guarantee a tasty lovechild. For example, chocolate on a pizza. Or a peanut butter cheeseburger. Ice cream and lobster? Bleh. Beer and fried dough? Surprisingly, a donut hole…

Prince Tea House

I’ve always been one for the finer things. When I was a kid, I loved to go to a tea house called Miss Molly’s in Medina, Ohio, and rejoiced at the opportunity to wear a frilly dress with bows in my hair. I thought I was a downright debutante drinking from a teapot filled with…

Holy Donut: There’s Nothing Potatoes Can’t Do

As a self-proclaimed and locally recognized connoisseur of doughnuts, I’m always looking for the latest and greatest flavors to wow my cat socks off. On my fall trip up through the Northeast coast and Canada, I descended upon the Holy Donut in Portland, Maine. When I heard they make their donuts using potatoes it wasn’t…
