In my lifetime there have been few stretches of the day as desolate as closing time at the Unit 2 Dining Commons. Less than year before it was torn down as part UC Berkeley’s dorm overhaul, I was finishing off a late dinner (composed mostly of breakfast cereal and chocolate pudding), by my lonesome, in [...]
With James phoning in foodism from Budapest and Stephen operating as a Spain mainstay, I’ve been feeling a little abroad-sick myself, thinking about my adventures in Russia and all of the culinary misadventures I had without the proper photo documentation. Fortunately, a comrade of mine with whom I shared many of those adventures is spending [...]
I’ve lived in Majorca for a little over nine months now. In my relatively short time here I’ve come to know a lot of details about the island, meet a lot of people, see and experience what it is like to live in a place of intense physical beauty – a beauty which attracts the [...]
My photo of Jodie’s grits is now part of an iPhone app called “Kiss My Grits!” Icon representation is one small step for man, but one large step for man-grits relations. Many thanks to Ben of Tesly for requesting permission and attributing accordingly on the app page.
By the time we stopped to sit down, the hazy weekday afternoon had already begun to falter. The sun was still beaming down on Budapest, but midday was well done. We’d been walking through and around Városliget, Budapest’s central city park, for almost two hours. The directions we’d been given to the biergarten of our [...]
It’s 11:00 am. June weather in Budapest is brilliant: mid-seventies, a cool breeze along the Danube, the sun shining down through a blanket of fluff, as if waiting for a chance to pummel the city with two scoops of Hungarian raisins. We stroll up along the west bank of the river to Batthyány Tér, where [...]
Comrades, I’m glad to announce that The Eaten Path will continue its expansion this week with the addition of its first overseas correspondent! Teacher and general life enthusiast Stephen Shull will be taking up a weekly post, writing for this site every Thursday from his current home of Palma, Spain. For more details on his [...]
While Budapest has plenty to offer in the way of tourism and the arts, my only real concern during my week in the city was to eat as much comfort food as possible. I was told upon arrival by several locals that a home cooked meal would be difficult to obtain. This notion may have [...]
On February 1, 2009, my roommate and I entered a contest. On April 16, 2009, we were declared winners. He received two round trip tickets to Budapest. I received a bag of women’s beauty products. The products were testers. On June 7, 2009, haggard, hungry, and hopelessly jet lagged, we took a seat in an [...]
I’ve just returned from a week in Budapest, Hungary! I’ll be deviating from my usual column to post several stories on my meals there throughout this week. As I continue post-vacation recovery, however, you’ll have to settle for this primer album of beverages and mustache:
