Broiled Grapefruit

The last few months of the year are always busy at Global Traveler. In a typical year, I would be busy traveling for meetings and experiencing new hotels and, most importantly, their unique cuisines. Over the years one of my favorite breakfast items is the simple grapefruit — tart, sweet, filled with antioxidants and more. Yet when grapefruit is broiled with a teaspoon of brown sugar on top, it quickly becomes a sweet treat I also love.

As it’s finally a bit cold in Los Angeles and I feel nostalgic for travel, I decided to make this warm and sweet breakfast for myself! On Sunday morning I hit Studio City Farmers Markets (open rain, shine or pandemic!) and found a giant pink grapefruit for $1.50 — what a steal! I took her home and made a delicious and simple breakfast alongside Greek yogurt and honey. The directions are simple: Just slice the grapefruit in half, sprinkle a few teaspoons (or as desired) of brown sugar or cinnamon, and place the fruit on tin foil before placing in the broiler for about 3 minutes. I do like mine with an extra dark glaze, so I put it in for a bit longer.

If you are looking for new fruit to add to your winter breakfast, I hope you give this a try!

Down to Earth: Find Your Element for the Ultimate Customized Spa Experience at Chuan Spa

After a stressful pre-holiday season and a busy work schedule, there was no better time for a relaxing spa experience than during my recent trip to Pasadena with the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team. We headed to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena for the 20th anniversary of the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, which meant a jam-packed trip, but I managed to carve a little time out of our busy schedule to visit Chuan Spa at the hotel.

Fukui: A Culture Hub in Rural Japan Worth the Detour

In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda

Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
