Dear Vietnam: I miss you. Love always, Ryan.

@ktgoeshiking and I decided to try a place we’d never been for lunch which lead us to @puyeroflavor, a Venezuelan spot. We got a patacón pisao, (sandwich on a bun of fried plantains with shredded pork, ham, white cheese, Gouda, cabbage, green mayo, mustard and ketchup); the reina pepiada especial arepa (chicken-avocado salad, fried sweet plantain, Gouda); the todera cachapa (corn fritter pancake with white cheese, shredded chicken, topped with nata); tequeños (white cheese wrapped in deep fried dough) and a chicha to drink, which is made with milk and rice and is far different from a Peruvian chicha. Great meal and I’d definitely go back.

A few selections from @greatchefsevent so far: Montreal smoked rib sandwich from @abefisher_philly, crispy tapioca with passion fruit and Parmesan from @chefludo, chilled seafood salad from @tribecagrill, pastrami bacon with griddled red cabbage and deli mustard from @hometownbarbque, meatball parm sub from @chefbkalman, and foie gras dipped in furikake and cotton candy from @daikayadc. Definitely the best things we’ve had so far.

Thanks to @punchmediapr, we were lucky enough to try out @assemblyphl’s rooftop lounge on the nicest day all week. Plenty of delicious cocktails, good food, and great views. Be sure to check it out. (They also have a really solid Scotch selection.)

Tomorrow is my sixth @ibxrun10, which means today is my fifth year carb loading with @giwakitchen’s awesome sizzling stone bowl bibimbap. Best tradition ever.

Went to visit my parents in Bluefield, WV and stopped by the new (to me) Big Whiskey BBQ. I had to try the standard pulled pork sandwich and @ktgoeshiking got their wings - both were great. Glad to see some solid non-chain food options in Bluefield.
