In my travels, I’m always finding great places to eat. Sometimes it’s a small cafe for a stellar breakfast and sometimes it’s a knock your socks off fine dining for dinner. From culinary adventures to recipes I’ve picked up along the way, enjoy perusing some tantalizing travel tastes.
While in Milwaukee for a conference, I took a friend’s recommendation to stop in Shaker’s Cigar Bar for a drink….and a ghost tour.

While in Milwaukee for a conference I went in search of a local coffee shop and found Canary Coffee Bar.

I dream about both when I know I’m going to be anywhere close to Escalante. These fall under … Continue reading
