For years now, I’ve traveled to eat at amazing restaurants and drink fabulous wine. The first time I went to Spain, I pretty much planned everything in advance and even dined at a Michelin star restaurant. When I went to Rome in 2019, I opted for a food tour instead of seeing the sights. In Cannes, I visited an amazing beach club specifically for their extensive rosé list. And in…

Night Brunch at St. Regis
Brunch is a staple in Bermuda culture. Every Sunday, friends and family dress up and head to their favourite establishment to enjoy brunch, whether it’s a classic buffet, family style or even a la carte. Brunch is a ritual here. So what happens when a restaurant offers a night brunch concept on a Friday evening? It sells out in a matter of days. On Friday night, I had the pleasure…

Rum Swizzle Taste Test: Part Two
We are back with our Rum Swizzle Taste Test part two! Just to refresh your memory, Bermudians love to drink and Rum Swizzle is the most popular cocktail on the island. Everyone has their own special recipe and usually, the recipe isn’t shared. Rum Swizzle is basically a rum punch, but everyone makes it their own special way. I don’t make it anymore (too many ingredients), but I do like…

Intrepid at Hamilton Princess
With the culinary scene being as small as it is in Bermuda, it’s always exciting when a new restaurant opens. And when that restaurant is high end with incredible food and service, it’s exhilarating. Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to visit the new restaurant at Hamilton Princess, Intrepid. I was a huge fan of Marcus’ over the years so was disappointed when that closed. But, once I heard…

Rum Swizzle Taste Test: Part One
If you know anything about Bermuda, you must know that Bermudians like to drink a lot. And it seems like more so in the summertime. Of course, there are many different kinds of drinks but two reign supreme – Dark & Stormy’s and Rum Swizzle. I don’t drink the former but the latter, I can get down with. Rum Swizzle is basically a rum punch, but everyone makes it their…

But also because I love all things food and meeting awesome chefs is always a vibe. Last weekend, I was invited to attend a dinner at Maree at The Loren featuring Chef Tiffany Derry from Texas.
