Wow. To say I’ve had a little “jet lag” with Culinary Hopscotch is an understatement. Covid obviously contributed to the lull in posting, but I realize that I’ve let a lot of culinary moments go unshared even in the wake of the pandemic.
One major event is that I moved on from JetBlue to Delta, but most people probably know that by now. It’s been such a great decision, and one that has already given me the opportunity to not only see places I never dreamed of, but also to revisit some of the places I first visited as part of Culinary Hopscotch back in 2010.
I’ve had layovers in Milan, Paris, Venice, Nice, Barcelona, London, Amsterdam, Sydney, and Tokyo. And each time, I’ve made it a point to track down something that would rock the culinary Richter scale. I just never sat down and wrote about it! I need to comb back through my notes and document what I did, because I’m constantly getting asked for recommendations from people for their travels.
Up next: Stockholm, Sweden
I have a food-centric walking tour booked, reservations at two places for dinner, and probably way more planned than I could ever hope to accomplish in 24 hours. But that’s the awesome part about this job. Find a place, fall in love with it, and use those benefits to go back!
Anyway, it’s time to give this blog a renaissance. Make it a point to document these experiences after they happen, and share them with the people who love reading about it. So that settles it. Welcome back to Culinary Hopscotch!
