I've also included some of my personal travel eating tips and answered some of your top questions... like "Mark, how do you make money to travel?".
Kitfo is like a hamburger, only it’s raw, and filled with spices, and eaten with injera instead of with a bun. It’s one of the most praised foods in Ethiopia, and it is stunning on the taste buds. While I…
(Watch this video on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/Lo_KycIyHAg) I didn’t think I was going to have a chance to visit Lalibela on my trip to Ethiopia. But after finding a good price for a flight from Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines,…
What could ever be better than going to the beach in Hawaii? Well, quite obviously, the answer is going to “the beach in Hawaii with lunch.” In the small sleepy North Shore town of Waialua, just about 10 minutes from…
I loved just about every single dish I tasted in Ethiopia, one of them, gomen be siga. Gomen is collard greens, a widely consumed leafy vegetable in Ethiopian cuisine. Siga is the word for beef, so gomen be siga is…
(Watch on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/ecnC_XLeajE) Drinking local style Ethiopian coffee (or “buna” as it’s known) is undoubtedly one of the best things you can possibly do in Ethiopia. All over Addis Ababa you’ll discover tiny hole-in-the-wall coffee shops where the…
Bangkok has just about everything I ever want to eat… except good dim sum (and if you know of good dim sum in Bangkok, please let me know). So I normally wait until I travel to Hong Kong or Hawaii…

It had been many years since I had last spent Christmas in the US, and it had been equally as many years since last feasting upon tamales. You’ve probably already heard me say a few times that Mexican food is…
I only had a few hours. My flight from Bangkok landed at Incheon in the morning, and my next flight was on its way to Honolulu in the afternoon. I could have stayed in the airport (a very nice airport…
Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines in the world. But I’ll admit, after devouring as much as I could for 2 months straight, from Kolkata street food to north Indian curries in Delhi, when we flew to Kathmandu,…
Addis Ababa is the capital and largest city of Ethiopia. Being home to the African Union, having important United Nations branches, and with nearly every foreign embassy from around the world represented, Addis Ababa is often referred to as the…
While turquoise beaches and swaying palm trees are the normal pictures of Zanzibar, there’s also a national park forest on the island, known as Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park (or just Jozani Forest). I’m going to admit straight up, visiting…
In the middle of a quiet tree lined residential area in Dar Es Salaam, just a stones throw from the Kenya High Commission, is Grace Shop. During non-meal hours, it’s little more than a duka (small convenience store), painted with…
On my last day in Stone Town, right before jumping on a dalla dalla to the northern village of Nungwi, I needed a big breakfast. Right across the street from Passing Show Hotel (another stunning restaurant), a Stone Town taxi…
Ethiopia, with friendly people, an ancient and fascinating culture, and amazing food (and coffee), is truly a fantastic country to visit. While I mainly travel to eat, people are also a major contribution to the greatness of any country. 1….
