Looking for food trucks to help supplement a nice day at a park? Look no further – Off the Grid (Presidio) provides a great space to enjoy the beautiful days in San Francisco, with many food vendors to boot. It reminds me of Smorgasburg in New York but with camping tents and picnic area. I managed…

Taiwan: Foodie Heaven Pt. 3 – Delicious Meals
If you haven’t noticed already, Taiwan is full of food and frankly I have too many pictures to show for it. Â Because Taiwan is full of street stands, it’s hard to tell you where half of where these dishes are found. Â Just know that this tiny island right next to China is truly a heaven…

Taiwan: Foodie Heaven Pt. 2 – Honey Toast
One of the latest dessert crazes in Taipei right now would be for an item called honey toast. Â It comes in different flavors and from my understanding, is made popular by Dazzling Cafe. Â Located in one of the younger trendy areas in Taipei, it is fair to say that getting a table is hard, (try…
