Today, instead of asking you if you’ve tried Tapatio, how about I ask: who hasn’t? This past couple of weeks I have been obsessed with it, my go to #1 hot sauce. It pretty much makes everything taste better. I put it on salads, soups, refried beans, and more! Tapatio isn’t overwhelmingly spicy, but it…

I “Lent” out my Carbs…
Before I talk about lent, I want to recap last post. I hope you all enjoyed my riddle as much as I enjoyed writing it. I received guesses ranging from fruit rollup to seaweed to the correct answer: beef jerky! And now for the winners… drum roll please… 1st: Diane Ciesinski: Mrs. Diane Ciesinski is my…
Another What am I Riddle?
I’m an unusual snack, a one of a kind, you’ll claim me right away and go: “It’s all mine.” I come in small amounts, cause I’m precious, and you don’t have to worry about eating me freshest. I’m a food that takes a long time to make, probably even longer than a birthday cake. First…
Stuffing Myself with Good Old Clam Chowder
Have you ever had one of those moments where you stuff yourself even though you are full? At the annual Santa Cruz clam chowder festival/competition, I did just that. My Aunty Shelli, who also brought me to the food festival in San Francisco, surprised me yet again by taking me to this amazing event. The…
Teaspoon vs. Boba Guys
Have you ever wondered where to go for boba tea? Considering that it is (and has been) one of the hottest food products, I bet you have. Boba, bubble, tapioca, or pearl milk tea a is a tea based beverage usually containing milk, sugar, and toppings (arguably the most important part). That delicious tea flavor…
Tonkat-Sue
Japanese Tonkatsu, or chicken/pork cutlet, is something that you must try. Whenever my mom makes it for dinner, I go crazy! It’s like fried chicken, but so much more delicious. Every now and then my mom will make us chicken or pork Tonkatsu. It’s a real treat, but whenever I’m chowing down on those tender, crunchy…
L’Eggo Your Eggos
I know what you’re thinking: “Seriously Nate? Eggos? I used to eat that when I was a kid!” Here’s the thing: At Priory (my school), my sister and I often have to leave home early to get to band/choir in the morning. As our before school classes start at around 7:30 am, we are often…
Sweet Kombucha
I’m sure all of you have heard of the trending drink, Kombucha, before, but the question is, have you actually tried it? I was walking around at Robert’s Market (Portola Valley’s “Safeway”) last week and the first aisle I visited was the drinks section. As my eyes skimmed over Arizona Tea, Gatorade, Izee’s, and all…
Healthy Breakfast for the Win
Have you noticed that I have not written a breakfast themed post in a long time? Well here’s my newest breakfast addiction that will be sure to get your attention. At the beginning of the school year, my mom discovered a new snack from Fraiche, a downtown Palo Alto cafe. Fraiche is definitely known more…
Eating Ethiopian Style
Before I begin, happy New Year! I hope that everyone had an amazing (and food filled) experience celebrating the various holidays that come about this time of the year. It’s been quite a while since I started this blog back in 2015 or so, and I want to say thank you to all of my…
