Joe’s Famous Deli, Vail, CO USA

I arrived in Vail tired, hungry, dehydrated, and with a pounding headache. My 4th travel destination in 5 days… sure, I was excited for a weekend skiing, but truth be told, all I wanted in the moment was some energy and relaxation. As I walked around Vail Village all I could find were sit down […]

Tat’s Delicatessen, Seattle, WA USA

Make a U turn, find the same thing. I put my drivers cap on and meandered around Beacon […]

It looked… interesting, that’s for sure, but having been accustomed to eating great smoked salmon plain (well, maybe with a bagel and cream cheese) I was confused why it would come in a club […]
