Unwind with Wine in Napa Valley

/0 Comments/in , , /by

I have had the pleasure of visiting Napa Valley three times in my life (and many more to come) and can absolutely say it just keeps getting better! As wine gets better with time, Napa seems to also. This is the ultimate trip to explore different types of wine, build your palate, be in the midst of amazing scenery, and eat great food! As a food and travel blogger, that’s right up my alley! There are so many wineries that it can become overwhelming to decide which ones to go to. But, that’s what Pursuit of Delights is here for! Scroll on to see which wineries met my list of top, affordable places to visit (in no particular order). Read more

Are you looking for a quick weekend trip with a variety of great things to see, reasonable prices, and amazing history? Well, the DMV is perfect for you! I’ve always been a fan of the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area, but never dedicated a weekend to exploring the top areas… until now! I was so impressed with how much we experienced in such a short amount of time that I felt it necessary to share it with you all! Although there is much more, here are a few “Must Do” options.

You know how you feel every time you go to your Grandma’s house? She makes entirely too much food and requires you to “EAT UP!”, but you don’t mind because it’s all so IMG_1070 3delicious. Most of us know exactly what this scenario feels like. Now picture it in a restaurant. This is the exact experience you will have at Carmine’s of New York City. If you love Italian, love variety, and live for large portion sizes, they are the restaurant for you! In addition to great food, the camaraderie is awesome! If you begin to sing or clap in celebration of something within your group, don’t be surprised if all of the tables around you join in. It is truly heartfelt and amazing. Now let’s dive into the eats! Read more

/1 Comment/in , , , /by

That is a good question! Or better yet, what food items is Iceland known for? As many of you may have noticed, we have been giving sneak peeks inside of our Icelandic food experiences on social media. Some of the places we found were amazing inside and out and offered some of the most unforgettable dining experiences; ones sure to keep us talking about for years to come.

Iceland has many food locations to choose from, but you do have to search a little to find the “gems”. However, have no fear, the Pursuit of Delights is here! Rather than making you search and search for yourself, we have done some of that for you, and can save you a little time while making your tummy very happy! Let’s dive in… Read more

Heading to Dallas? Three types of restaurants you must try!

/2 Comments/in , , , /by

For many years, I’ve wanted to travel to Texas. I’d heard so much about the vibes… the scenery… the people… and most importantly…the food! A few weeks ago, I finally had the chance. My first time stepping foot in the southern state was in the beautiful DALLAS! What a great first Texas city to visit, right?! Although there was much to see, my goal was conquering the food scene. If you live in or have researched Dallas, you will see they are known for many types of food.

So, what types would the Pursuit of Delights recommend? I’m glad you asked! ;)

A walk through OTR with Cincinnati Food Tours

/1 Comment/in , , /by

I have lived in Cincinnati for most of my life and really thought I knew and understood the history and stories behind many of the restaurants and parts of town. After completing my first Cincinnati Food Tour adventure, I realized there was a lot I didn’t know about this great city! Cincinnati Food Tours is a walking tour founded by Barb Cooper in 2012. Her vision was to share her love for Findlay market, food, and Cincinnati neighborhoods. There are a variety of $50 tours to choose from, which focus on savory eats, sweet eats, or both! I opted for the Over The Rhine (OTR) savory tour, lasting about 3 hours with multiple stops. Read more

When we created the “Feature of the Week” section, our focus was to feature quality chefs, restaurants, events, & food related entrepreneurs who have a burning desire for the culinary industry. Although we have a deep appreciation for all chefs, there is truly something special about those that are self taught. They share the same passion, but typically have to work even harder to receive the accolades deserving to them.  Read more
