We’ve been on a road trip for the past couple of weeks.
And we ate SO much good food.
And visited some AWESOME cities.
And, and…
The US is an awesome place, and our trip was made even more awesome by the numerous amount of listeners (you guys!) that we got to meet up with along the way.
You suggested amazing places, you let us into your homes, and we can’t thank you enough.
It was an amazing trip, and today we’re going to share our road trip itinerary, some of our favorite stats from the trip, and our favorite, and least favorite, experiences.
Thank you all SO MUCH for all your recommendations. We had so many that we’re going to have to organize another road trip to get to all the cool places you recommended to us!
It’s no secret that we love eating – in fact, it’s one of the main reasons we travel.
In this episode, we recount our 20 best meals of 2015 – from street side stalls in Thailand and Austin, Texas to people’s homes in Istanbul, upscale restaurants in Sedona, and everything in between, we had some epic meals this past year.
Come join us as we recount them, tell you where to eat, and make your mouth water!
And let us know your favorite places that you ate in 2015 – so that we can hit them up in 2016 and see if they make next year’s list – by leaving us a comment below!

Jason and I get together this week to talk about one of our favorite subjects.
Beer
We take the time to list out our 8 favorite breweries each (for a total of 16 awesome places to visit) and let you know just why each one made our list.
The rules:
1) It has to be in the United States 2) We have to have visited the brewery in person.
In addition to our Top 16, we also list out some of our disappointments, as well as our wishlists.
If you have a favorite brewery make sure to leave it in the comments, we’d love to hear about it!
If we’re ever near to one we’d be more than happy to meet up, hang out, drink beer, and chat about our awesome brewery experiences!
Spoiler Alert: All the breweries are listed below. If you don’t want to ruin the surprise, stop reading now and listen to the episode first! Then come back and check out all the links.
