I’m in Charleston discovering benne wafers — one of the Lowcountry’s most iconic treats. These thin, crispy sesame cookies date back to West African traditions and have been part of Charleston’s food culture for centuries. Toasted, nutty, and perfectly crisp, they’re simple but unforgettable.

Sponge toffee! Have you had it?

I’m tasting some of the most creative ice cream flavors I’ve ever encountered at Made by Marcus in Edmonton. Each spoonful is a new sensory surprise—sweet, salty, herbal, unexpected. This is what happens when ice cream becomes culinary experimentation.

Nanaimo bars! What are they and what is their history? Have you had one?

Is this an orange lime or a sour mandarin? Have you tasted a rangpur before?

Try some Cincinnati Chili with me! Have you had it before? It was lot different than I expected and quite a pleasant surprise!

I’m honored to host my signature Tasting in the Dark™ experience on Thursday, Feb 26, supporting Easterseals Northern California, an incredible organization creating a more equitable world for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We’ll enjoy carefully selected wines paired with small plates, all while blindfolded. The goal isn’t to take anything away, but to uncover what’s already there.
Curious? I’d love to share this evening with you!

Pine trees and pineberries! What more could you want?

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and I wanted to do something special for you.

(LINK IN BIO) For a very limited time, Dr. Hoby’s Bounty Boxes are $20 off, bringing them down to $59 as a last-chance Valentine’s Day treat.

These are some of my favorite things!
It’s meant to be opened slowly, shared, talked about, and enjoyed together.
Every box is full of thoughtful flavors, textures, and little moments of discovery.

If you’re looking for a gift that feels personal and memorable — this is it.

Once these are gone, they won’t be restocked for Valentine’s Day.
I’d love for you to experience one before they’re sold out.
