Fitting conclusion to five days of Texas disc golf which involved throwing over cattle, into Alamo-shaped structures, and around a ton of brush—an activity powered primarily by breakfast tacos, klobasneks, and H-E-B lunches. tour completed!

One last sandwich on the way out of town and on to a whole week off. Thanks for the heads up,

I had so much fun today covering the Tupperware Blowout Sale in Hemingway, home to the company’s last stateside manufacturing facility: Once it closes next month, all production moves to Mexico and China. Tupperware reps are coming by the busload from as far away as Texas to stock up on bowls and storage containers, but I was taken with the selection of sales prizes; kind of sorry I didn’t buy the bathrobe. (The Tupperware sweatbands are all mine.)

Birthday lunch in Miami. Let’s get cracking on 48!

Democracies don’t function without journalists, and journalists don’t function without pizza—at least on election night. Bonitta Best of was one of several hardworking editors I met along the delivery route for Campaign for Better Election Night Pizza. Remember: No matter what happens tonight, media orgs need your financial support to hold the winners accountable. Subscribe!

Arrived in Asheville for a few days of WNC reporting, and was totally unprepared for how outwardly normal things would look beyond the downtown core, where restaurants are keeping abbreviated hours. The plates are paper, and the cups are plastic, but the seats are filled, the mood is cheerful, and the jerk tofu is as good as ever.

While none of that diminishes the epic proportions of this crisis, it’s undeniably heartening to see mountain resilience up close.

With apologies to whoever previously held the record for most panels moderated in a two-day span, I think I may have just bested it. Huge thanks to for the stage privileges, and the many, many sharp thinkers who played along.

Anyone else trying to magically sway tonight’s outcome with hot dish? Thanks for posting the recipe,

Confidential to the Charleston contingent: has reset the local brunch scene with its superb new cafe, the result of El Molino’s owners scouring several states for the elements of the best contemporary Mexican coffee bars. Highlights from a first visit were a vivid salsa verde on the huevos divorciados, and a mug of subtly sweet atole. Hanahan, we have a sliver of Houston.

And that’s a wrap on a trip I’ve been scheming for five years, and will no doubt reflect upon for many more. Our train route (1) meandered from Paris to the thermal baths of Budapest (2), the bakeries of Bucharest (3), the grand buildings of Bulgaria (4) and the culinary wonderland that is Istanbul (5) with plenty of Ottoman splendor and Communist landmarks along the way. See you back at work next week!

His & Hers, piscine edition: Mountain trout from the Rila River, fried and grilled, served just up the hill from where it was caught.

Huge thanks to for pointing us to the thus-far best meal of our trip .lume where wood smoke yokes together the country’s disparate culinary traditions, and Romanian wine flatters everything from sturgeon to polenta to beef tongue. 🇷🇴

There is maybe nothing nicer in Budapest than à la minute lemonade, pressed from a trinity of citrus, mixed with soda water, and made to different specs at every public spa, park, and corner cafe.

I’d rather break news than hearts, but it falls to me to report that is closing. It’s fitting that the last thing I ate there is out of focus, since I’m far from clear-eyed when it comes to that restaurant. Thanks for three sweet years, Chasing Sage. Story at thefoodsection.com
