Tzitzigas kai Mermigas

Love-childs. I know it’s about high time I write about the superior foods of Athens. I just didn’t have my card reader to download fresh pics but alas I have found one so let us view and taste these foods through our beautiful eyes…
I was walking through the winding, hilly, small streets of Plaka which [...]

Fattie

Kalispera bitches! I am sitting in my well appointed hotel room in Athens and I realized I didn’t write about a spektacular event that occurred early this month: I ate at Fatburger. 
Where were you GastroGirl, you ask? I was in drrty Atlantic City and figured if something good was going to come of it, it [...]

Konichiwa

Saddle up kids. Tonight’s epi of No Reservations was shot in the city of cities, Tokyo. I am sure Tony will be trying some crazy sh*t that will make us both swoon and regurgitate our lunch. Check out the sneak peak here. Looks awesomely food porn-esque.

On tonights epi of No Reservations, Bourdain travels to Saudi Arabia with a fan he hand picked after she submitted a video on why they had to film an episode in Saudi Arabia (there was a contest call FAN-atic: tell Tony B who he should film in a certain city and if he picks [...]

Bourdain in Colombia

I watched Anthony Bourdain do Colombia last night on No Reservations. It’s a truly incredible, emotional and delicious episode which convinced me this season is his best yet. Not only does the man look dapper and studly with that silver hair but he’s getting just politically active enough that it makes me care more, it [...]
