Join me in the "behind the scenes" look of Sent Sovi with Chef Josiah! We start off with refreshing drinks and a look at their awesome wines on tap! Then, into the kitchen and a peek at the awesome dehydrator (those tomatoes were nom-my!), as well as his "secret book" and delicious teas!

Definitely not a dull moment at Sent Sovi, especially with the awesomeness of Chef Josiah!

"Unboxing" Laduree Macaroons in Paris!

This is the official "unboxing" of Laduree macaroons. A dedication to Sukhjit (@sukhjit) who told me I must go visit this place (unboxing goes out to you), and to Alex (@ledretch) who took me to the wonderful little Laduree store! My word... after all those macaroons, I was feeling a little drunk from all the sugar!

Enjoy the experience- it was absolutely mindblowing.

L'Express, Montreal

L'Express is a fantastic little restaurant on St. Denis in Montreal. Hidden away with secrets such as foie gras terrine, rillettes, chicken liver pate with pistachios, and bone marrow served with grey sea salt, it's definitely a treasure worth visiting. Reservations needed due to popularity. Featuring @ladyleet!

Le Coupole, Paris

An adventure in Paris with @ledretch leads us to Le Coupole, a cute little restaurant off the Montparnasse metro exit. Famous for their seafood platters, foie gras, and more, we had an excellent meal consisting of lobster, smoked salmon, foie gras, and wine. Enjoy. :)
