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!
Longtime listeners might know that Heather has a not so secret love.
Coffee
Turns out, Jason, our often co-host, also has the same love. Though his is more of an addiction.
Today Heather and Jason list out some of their best coffee experiences, including their favorite coffee shops, and the best countries for coffee lovers.
I hold down the fort for those of us who aren’t so into coffee, providing some notes on ambiance, delicious treats, and the best hot chocolate I’ve had to date. And of course, you won’t have to wait long for Jason to break all the rules.
From excellent beer to delicious coffee, the best ice cream in the world, and amazing food carts around every corner Portland is a dream come true!
