With the economy still in a bad state state, travel across the board is down. Family vacations are losing ground to rediscovering the wonders closer to home, while business trips are increasingly being replaced by remote meetings conducted over webcam and phone. But assuming you still find yourself living out of a suitcase on occasion, there’s no reason you can’t do so on a budget, and without skimping on the finer things in life.
To that end, aptly named British comedian George Egg, shows how a bit of DIY ingenuity can transform your hotel room into an ad hoc kitchen, enabling [...]

As far as most experiences go, we like to keep ours decidedly on the side of the real, but with the internet increasingly taking over more aspects of our lives, that’s becoming a bit more difficult.

While making meals, you can browse for recipes or read the news off the tabletop that functions as a [...]

Underground restaurants are the dining equivalent of a speak-easy or a rave. Whether they are entirely legal or not is a bit of a grey area. But this is part of their allure. There’s something very intoxicating about the combination of being “in the know” and illicitness that creates an experience that people can’t help but talk about. It’s word of mouth marketing at its most powerful.
Underground restaurants are new to the UK in the guise of MsMarmitelover’s Underground Restaurant in Kilburn and Horton Jupiter’s Secret Ingredient in Hackney, but are much more familiar in other parts of the world. [...]

“Freestyle dining” is an emerging food trend in Manila. The process: customers picks from a list of key ingredients. Then they order based on whatever emotion or adjective best describes their dining mood, trusting the chef with the task of translating it into a matching meal. It’s like assigning the chef the role of culinary therapist.
