I enjoyed my beef bowl at the Yoshinoya outside of security in Terminal 3. Good food, good service. Thanks, folks!

I wanted a hearty meal before a long flight. Beef fit the bill and cooking it for myself was fun. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Thanks, folks!

Dinner was delicious, beautiful, and gracefully served. Thanks, folks!

After a long trip to western Japan, I was in the mood for a simple, enjoyable lunch. The hotel restaurant offered several Italian options and I went with the pizza. It was enjoyable, as was my conversation with an old friend. Thanks, folks!

A transfer at Haneda reminded me of the wide variety of food options there, both as meals and as gifts from the traveler.

The place was hopping on July 4th. The staff was very helpful and the food great, as always. Thanks, folks!

After several visits to Hyderabad House, I finally ordered their specialty of biryani. My veggie biryani was tasty and satisfying. The staff was friendly and welcoming, as always. Thanks, folks!

Knoxville Airpot is quite nice, a good size with a modern building. I arrived in time for a quick lunch and decided that Uno's was the way to go. My pizza was tasty and the staff friendly. I boarded my flight satisfied. Thanks, folks!

Cruze Farm in downtown Knoxville was buzzing on a warm summer evening. The staff was very friendly, the atmosphere bright and cheery, and the ice cream delicious. Thanks, folks!

This was my first time using a warming proofing box. I was skeptical but I turned out to be very impressed with the quality of the rise. The baked bread had a lighter texture that I expect from this recipe (the 100% whole wheat recipe from King Arthur).

Pete's is a classic Southern breakfast spot. Everyone gathere in the morning to eat, caffeinate, and talk. The staff was welcoming and helpful in the most Southern way. My breakfast was so good that I went back the next morning. Thanks, folks!

Good food, nice pople. Thank you, folks!

Good food, good conversation, great staff. Thanks, folks!

Nirmal's is near Pioneer Square in historic Seattle. The venue was charming and the staff wonderful. My dinner was bjarwan simla mirch, an new dish to me. The flavors were rich and the textures varied wonderfully from the bell pepper to the sauce. Thanks, folks!

Keith and I enjoyed a great lunch at Athenian a decade ago. My return visit gave me the same delicious food and great staff. The atmosphere is part of the attraction, too---this is one of the oldest restaurants in Seattle. Thanks, folks!

Top Pot Donuts is a favorite stop on my trips to Seattle. The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff welcoming, and the donuts classic. The coffee is great, too. Thanks, folks!

I very much enjoyed my dinner at Dough Zone near the Seattle Convention Center. The staff was friendly and the dumplings satisfying. Thanks, folks!

Ivar's is a long-time favorite. The staff is great, the scenery wonderful, and the food very enjoyable. Thanks, folks!

I attended CVPR, the huge computer vision research conference, at the Seattle Convention Center. Lunch service helps to keep everyone on point and thinking about the conference, not searching for food in a strange city. My box lunch was good and satisfying. But for anyone who thinks that traveling to conferences is glamorous and exciting, the reality is more practical.

PF Chang at SLC was a nice break in the hustle of air travel. I had a sit down meal with a great staff. My food was full of flavor and very satisfying without being too filling. Thanks, folks!

div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> My biscuit breakfast was delicious. The restaurant was bustling and the staff was great. Thanks, folks!

Bruno's is famous for its Italian meals and I can see why. My eggplant parm was hearty and full of flavor. The proprietors and staff were superb. I talked to one of the family who was very proud of the care that he puts into his sauce. I'm very glad to have eaten there and I will be back. Thanks, folks!

I visited The Root on my last visit to Little Rock and enjoyed it so much that I ate breafast there on my latest trip. My omelet was satisfying and full of flavor. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Thanks, folks!

Pascal's is comfort food for my travels. My vegetable plate was very satisfying and the staff very welcoming. Thanks, folks!
