The Plate We Ate

13/12/2019

TPWA rises again! We just couldn't let 2019 end without an update to the blog, so here it is :)

There are a few places I’ve visited and thought— I could move there tomorrow. Typically that’s just a l***y high of entering into a cool new world, but usually that fades over time and more practical view of the reality sinks in. However, when it comes to New Zealand, we’re convinced it coul...

Moving back to LA has made me a terrible social media poster. We head out to SE Asia soon (so keep an eye out our IG, fun stuff coming soon!), and Justin is working on getting out blog up to date. If you haven't been by in awhile check out www.theplateweate.com and see where our adventures have taken us :)

Justin made a new post on the blog today about our time in Thailand. We're hoping to get the blog caught up to date over the next few weeks and I'll be updating y'all here whenever a new post goes live. I forget how pretty our website is. If you haven't checked it out yet go take a look :)

Bangkok is more than the metropolitan hub of Thailand. It is a city filled with distinction, tradition, and a warm glow of gold and red. Nowhere have we seen a city permeate such warm colors the way Bangkok does. It might have something to do with the majestic gold edifice of the ‘Grand Palace,’...

When your in a new place each meal is a gamble. Sometimes it's a disappointment, and other times you get a pleasant surprise. This was one of those great times when you're in a teeny town in the middle of nowhere and you get GREAT food. These were pork belly baos and Mexican inspired breakfast tacos with chorizo. !

Okay, this is very strange. In NZ they serve scallops with the orange half moon part, not just the white part like in the rest of the world. The first time we were totally weirded out, and asked the chef what was up. He was British and he said that it's just a Kiwi thing. Then, sure enough, we ordered scallops a second time and it had the orange part again! Has anyone seen this before???

We're finally caught up with our posts and are in the correct country. The Plate We Ate is indeed in NZ! Damn IG hackers have put behind, but we're back. In Rotarua now, and heading down to the South Island soon.

A few months back The Plate We Ate's Instagram was hacked (multiple times) by Russian hackers. We've been working with IG and finally we were forced to delete our account and start over. We're back up and running again with the same handle. I'm slowly adding past images from our trip the next few weeks until we're back to the present day. If you were following us before or would like to see what we're up to please come back and join us on our journey. Thanks for your support!

The Cité du Vin (City of Wine) is the world's preeminent collection of the history, art, and artifacts of the wine world.  It's a beautiful, high-tech museum filled with interactive exhibits where you can learn about wine making around the world.  I especially loved the smelling stations where you c...

The city of Bordeaux is beautiful, but the glory of it's wine country is something that only photos are worthy of. Bordeaux has 5 major wine regions and early on in our stay we took a road trip through the northern most region called the Medoc. This region is home to some of the best wines in the…

In France, there is always a corner bistro a stones throw away in any direction. Bordeaux is no exception when it comes to the bounty of beaucoup de bistros. However, there is something truly exceptional happening on 61, Place des Capucins near the Capucins Farmer’s Market. Au Bistro may look like m...
