I’m sure there’s a “path you chose in life” metaphor here somewhere, but I’m mostly just here for the view.
.
(In a city of epic views, Porto’s Jardins do Palácio de Cristal might be the most spectacular, so make sure you save this one.)

Gussied up in this gorgeous @sezane dress for a fancier-than-your-average cookout at @bourbonsteakdc by guest chef @vincent_badiee of @therestaurantatpatowmackfarm.
.
My husband and I have been long-time fans since we first visited Patowmack many years ago and this special meal certainly didn’t disappoint! Dinner highlights included homemade brats with champagne mustard, kimchi chicken sandwiches, and lobster hot dogs with the biggest dollop of caviar I've ever seen.
.
I love that @bourbonsteakdc partnered with local chefs for this cookout series. The next one will be with Chef Kristen Essig of @dauphinesdc!

I’ll take a windy day on the beach in Portugal over this heat any day. 🥵
.
Just a short Uber ride from Porto, we absolutely loved hanging out at the Praia da Luz beach club, noshing on garlicky shrimp and watching the kite surfers do acrobatics outside.
.
Many Portuguese beaches have restaurants like these so try to park yourself nearby if you can!

Easily one of the grandest hotel suites I've ever stayed in — stocked with @diptyque bath products, room service from @wolfgangpuck’s @cutdc, and a secluded rooftop pool with views and views and views.

The day after Festa de São João is usually a slow one, but we still found lots to do. We explored Vila Nova de Gaia across the river from Porto, famous for its port houses. From there, we took a gandola ride up to Serra do Pilar monastery overlooking the river just in time to get a bird’s eye view of the annual Regata of Rabelo Boats, traditionally held on St. John’s Day. For centuries, these boats were the only method to carry port from the vineyards down the Douro River to Porto. The big port wine producers still sponsor the boats in the race!

If I could pick one highlight of our entire Portugal trip, it would have to be the Festa de São João do Porto. This midsummer festival pays tribute to St. John the Baptist with a fantastic all-night rager filled with dancing, fireworks, delicious bbq’d meats, and everyone, I mean EVERYONE bopping each other on the head with plastic mallets. Yup, you read that right and you have to see it to believe it. (More in stories!)

If you ever find yourself in Porto, do yourself a favor and take a boat ride on the Douro River.
.
My husband booked us a memorable afternoon with @douroboatman. Our captain, Paulo, gave us a fantastic tour of Porto’s famous waterway, accompanied with some delicious local sparkling wine and a very excellent port made by one of his close friends. This was one of those extra special memories I’ll always cherish from this trip.

My ASMR is the sounds of Porto through an open window: sea gulls, friendly chatter of neighbors passing on the street, and the occasional motorcycle zooming by. (A nice glass of port certainly helps, too.)

My European vacation is (sadly) over, but for one

My European vacation is (sadly) over, but for one night, I was transported to the South of France with an extra special dinner hosted by @beardfoundation at @anjufrc featuring Cotes du Rhone wine pairings with dishes prepared by chefs @angellbarreto and Ana Castro.
.
Think French wines are only meant for pairing with European cuisines? Think again! If I learned anything from this dinner, it's that these wines were just as good with Mexican and Korean flavors, too. Castro and Barreto served up innovative dishes like Bayo Bean Tlacoyo and Duck Breast and Prime Rib with Roasted Garlic Ssamjang and they were delicious with every one!
