This last month for me has been full of delicious meals spent with great friends in Los Angeles. The one meal that blew them all away was a four-hour, 20-something-course gastronomical dinner experience at Vespertine. Jordan Kahn’s immersive restaurant is anything but ordinary.
From the architecture to the music and visuals, I wasn’t sure where I had landed in LA. It felt like some sort of futuristic departure from the usual fine dining you imagine with white napkins and pretentious servers. The experience was so unique, and I felt more than comfortable in this anti-locavore dining space. I got lost in the avant garde adventure … most of the time not knowing what I was eating or where it came from. Each course was so beautifully executed, and the flavor profiles were beyond my wildest dreams. It’s truly an out-of-this-world experience you can truly only appreciate when you go. Make sure to clear your schedule, come hungry and grab a few of your favorite foodies to reserve a spot at one of the 22 nightly seats at Vespertine.

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.
