Alexander’s Steakhouse, Pasadena, CA USA /
Smoked Salmon SerenityRachel wanted brunch for her birthday. Something healthy and luxurious at the same time. A unique place we knew would be both quality and memorable. Brunch, as simple as it sounds, is not something the greater Pasadena area is known for unless you’re looking for Dim Sum. And Dim Sum did not meet the requirements […]
Della’s Kitchen, The Delano, Las Vegas, NV USA /
Maple Pepper SmokinessI’m not a gambler, so it’s usually Vegas’s food scene that draws me in. And there’s no shortage of fabulous fare, so finding another fantastic club sandwich was high on my list during this most recent trip, unfortunately not satisfied by The Cosmopolitan’s room service. We arrived at Della’s Kitchen a few hours before my […]
The Langham Huntington, Pasadena, CA USA /
Roasted Red DelightWhat was the Langham Hotel doing in Pasadena? An incredible retreat located just outside of Downtown, adjacent to Cal Tech… an oasis in itself. Driving down the beautiful tree lined streets, one wouldn’t expect such a gorgeous estate-like property to exist in such close proximity to the hustle and bustle of the city. Resort experience […]
Las Alcobas, Mexico City, Mexico /
Hearty EleganceRachel really wanted to go to Mexico City for her birthday. So did I, but work seemed to impede on the planning process. Not for Rachel though. “Let’s just leave Saturday and come back Sunday,” she said in her most logically persuasive voice. Flights had us arriving at 4pm Saturday and departing 4pm Sunday. Once […]
Marty’s Fine Wines, Newton, MA USA /
Inside the Liquor Store“Do not, my friends, become addicted to water; it will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.” – the line from Mad Max Fury Road somehow echoed alongside my obsession with club sandwiches. Club deprived. No travel the past quarter. Most lunchtime spots in Boston closed. Hotel restaurants not catering to public […]
InterContinental Hotel, Cartagena de Indias, Bolivar, Colombia /
Away from the VendorsCartagena couldn’t have been more different than Bogota. And wow was I happy to have landed here for 4 nights. Love Cartagena. Culture, food, cocktails, history, architecture, nightlife, beaches, boats, and so much more. Why had I never been here before? I couldn’t answer that question. But who cares – I was teeming with excitement […]
JW Marriott, Bogota, Colombia /
Hot Mess24hrs in Bogota. That’s all the time we needed to get the most out of this city. I had heard differing opinions before visiting, and I have to admit: nearly all of them were accurate, as juxtaposing as they sounded. The JW Marriott was a lovely oasis separated from the bustling city life, which I […]
InterContinental Hotel, Hong Kong /
The One That Started It AllEDITOR’S NOTE: The InterContinental Hong Kong Club Sandwich was the one that inspired me to start Club Sandwich Reviews dot com. I took the above photo, had an incredible meal, and wrote a quick review. Re-reading this review always brings back fantastic memories… I will never forget this moment . This is The One That […]
Royal Park Hotel Shiodome, Tokyo, Japan /
Fried Chicken FriendlyIt was Rachel’s fourth time in Japan this year. Fourth time staying at this hotel, the Royal Park Hotel Shiodome. And she raved about everything at the property… except their food. She was right: ignoring her advice, nearly every item I tried from their café was a letdown. While the Japanese creations in the exclusive […]
Centre The Bakery, Tokyo, Japan /
Tokyo SurpriseThe walk from my hotel to Tokyo Station was 40 minutes through Ginza. It is a gorgeous walk, and when the weather is 70 degrees and sunny, it is extremely pleasant… more of a stroll, one might say. I was curious if there would be a club sandwich along my route. The ride from Tokyo […]
58 floors up – we had a great view of Bangkok, at least when the haze subsided. I wasn’t planning on making a trip here, but as Rachel was able to extend her stay after a conference she was attending, I thought making the trip down south to meet up with her might be a […]
VOMO Island and Monuriki Island, Fiji /
Paradise FoundIt’s almost impossible to describe the warm hospitality felt upon arrival at VOMO Island. With so many hotels and resorts to choose from around Fiji, it was a difficult – yet extremely fun – task in finding and selecting VOMO. We didn’t really know what we were in for, but the photos almost undersold the […]
Alma Hotel, Barcelona, Spain /
Ham HeavenI didn’t choose the hotel. But I was very happy to stay here. Alma Barcelona was a wonderful hotel in a splendid neighborhood of the city. 5 stars exuded from their every pore as you entered the hotel and began the check in process. 36hrs in Barcelona is not a lot of time to enjoy […]
The Connaught, London, England UK /
Posh Spice (mayo)The recommendation came in crystal clear: you must get a martini at The Connaught Hotel. Few recommendations were given so passionately, and I decided to stop the property for this cocktail prior to my night out. The itinerary suggestion delivered – what a fantastic experience. Excellent martini made right in front of me in a […]
Mocca, Cannes France /
30th Birthday ClubTurning 30. A bittersweet event? Unhappiness lingered in this joyful moment. Sure, I’m known for celebrating birthday “weeks,” but this being the actual day, I wanted nothing but a smile on my face. I looked around and realized: this is a very achievable undertaking. No matter what Seinfeld says, happy birthdays, even when you become […]
The Chesterfield Mayfair, London UK /
Classic PersonificationMy last business trip of 2021 and my last business trip before being a father of two just happened to be my first international business trip since… a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, so at least it felt like! 2 days and 3 nights to make the most of my time […]
Ashford Castle, Cong, County Galway, Ireland /
Baked at the CastleApparently it rains here all the time. You would never known that, as we spent every day lapped in sunshine during our say in County Mayo, Ireland. How could one enjoy these 300+ acres of gardens if it’s raining all the time? I didn’t exactly know, nor did I desire to find out. Sleeping through […]
St. Regis Mauritius Resort, Le Morne, Mauritius /
Bread by the BeachThe pinnacle of perfection. I expected nothing but the best. Mauritius – it’s one of those destinations you hear about but never actually visit… at least for most Americans. Our sights were set on this island country for nearly a year as we researched beach destinations for our honeymoon. We actually chose Paris (previous destination) […]
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, Mauritius /
Plated with PrideUsually if a club sandwich is this bad, they don’t serve it. But in Mauritius, they plate it with pride. There was only one restaurant at the departure gates in the newly renovated Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. After a 30 minute wait while they verified our paper tickets (the first paper tickets for a […]
QT Hotel, Sydney, Australia /
Craving Boutique3 years since my last time in Sydney. Amazingly enough, last time I was flying solo desperately trying to secure business from the Australian government, and this time the Australian government was paying for my entire trip as a member of their data committee… I felt such a sense of pride arriving into the country, […]
Joe & The Juice, Sydney Airport, Sydney AUS /
Stress RelieverI was having the most stressful day ever. And for all the wrong reasons. What’s it like when you’re in sales, just attended your largest conference of the year, and all of your emails are going into everyone’s spam folder because of something that happened with Microsoft’s email exchange? It’s the absolute worst. My livelihood […]
Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, Melbourne, Australia /
Overlooking Rodd LaverMelbourne vs Sydney was apparently a big debate for Australians. I liked to think of the cities as two separate yet equally alluring “in their own way” destinations that carry the pride of urban Australia on their backs. Apparently Australians are more biased and polarizing in their opinions than I. Nevertheless, I arrived in Melbourne […]

FLY Burger Bar Boutique, Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, ATL US /
Mile High Club HybridThe Atlanta airport was bumpin’. Our only stop between home and Jazzfest, dinner would be held at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport tonight. We knew epic meals lay ahead, but already being on vacation, an epic meal was needed now. Additionally, the food in business class on the Delta flight down was absolutely disgusting. I couldn’t believe […]
Joe and The Juice, Keflavík (KEF) Airport, Iceland /
Deceivingly DeliciousWho goes to Iceland three times? This guy. The first trip was just with Rachel. The second was for work. And this time it was with family. Packed with new and old adventures, I was excited for another trip to the land of fire and ice. I knew many parts of Reykjavik well (sometimes I am […]
TGI Friday’s, Dallas Fort Worth Airport DFW, TX USA /
Loving Friday in DFWApparently if you’re flying “First Class” on American Airlines, you can’t use their lounge. So who has access to the Admirals Club? What a lame “rewards” system; spend money to fly first, still can’t use the lounge. My plan switching flights in Dallas was to grab some free drinks and a snack in the lounge, […]
Crawfish sacks, crawfish beignets, crawfish Monica, crawfish bread, crawfish corn bisque and that was just the start of it. Duck stored in its own fat for two weeks, steak with foie gras, Fried oyster po’ boys, fried sweetbreads, baked oysters… and that was just the next part. 36 hours in New Orleans celebrating life with […]
I honestly didn’t think I’d be making this trip again. Exactly 12 months later. But alas, visiting my grandfather brings such great joy to me, I felt beyond lucky to be seeing him, even if it was only for 24hrs. Rachel warned me Terminal 6 sucked, but I still wanted to get there early for […]
Cobo Center, Detroit, MI USA /
As Cold As DetroitA week in Vegas followed by a week in Detroit for two of the largest shows of the year… this fortnight takes years off my life, but it’s worth it! After set up in Detroit, I needed to relax. I needed calmness. I needed a club sandwich. The Cobo Center has much better dining options […]
TD Bank Garden, Boston MA USA /
Garden GrossnessI’d rather go to a Bruins game than any other Boston sports team. Partially for nostalgia purposes, but mainly for the excitement; I tend to get bored at other sporting events, while the Bruins usually keep me enthralled in the action. With that said and while my youth was different, nowadays I get to about […]

Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, Santa Monica, CA USA /
In-Room SecretLA is a massive city. Less of a city, it’s simply a massive area. I live and work in Pasadena, and while Santa Monica is an easy 30 minute drive with no traffic, this time can double, triple, or even quadruple based on traffic. So I take my trips out to Santa Monica very seriously. […]
VOMO Island and Monuriki Island, Fiji /
Paradise FoundIt’s almost impossible to describe the warm hospitality felt upon arrival at VOMO Island. With so many hotels and resorts to choose from around Fiji, it was a difficult – yet extremely fun – task in finding and selecting VOMO. We didn’t really know what we were in for, but the photos almost undersold the […]
Nothing but leisurely activities were listed on the agenda for our 6 day trip over New Year’s in Bohol, Philippines, and I knew enjoying a club sandwich in a relaxing environment wouldn’t be a difficult task to check off. To my surprise, however, a decent club was a hard meal to find; while everywhere served […]
Cactus Club Cafe, Vancouver, BC Canada /
Ocean Wise Tuna ClubI was surprised to find out I only knew one person living in Vancouver. Just one. I was there on business, in between Seattle and Vail, and had just one night out. Well two – the previous day I had arrived early in the evening and wanted to try the Blue Water Cafe, a restaurant […]
The Place Café is a great local lunch spot in the central business district of Beijing. And with their solid sandwich menu, the club is a definite standout. They know what their doing here, even if it’s not the most traditional version of the sandwich; perfectly large ripe tomato, freshly fried egg, hearty piece of […]
Chatham Village Cafe, Chatham, MA USA /
The Chatham ClubWe were hungry after walking around the elbow of Chatham. My first time in Cape Cod, Chatham was one of those places I had heard wonderful things about. It seemed like paradise on The Cape… that was before I went, of course. “Tourist Central” probably would be a more accurate appellation. Yes, it was beautiful, […]
Silver Star Cafe, Park City, UT USA /
Silver Star Club CreationWe had the best tourguide in Park City taking us down the slopes during our second day on the mountain. Rachel hadn’t been snowboarding in four years and this was my second time skiing in eight; with Bruce leading us, we had nothing but great snow and zero lines, a perfect re-introduction to the sport […]
Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, CA USA /
Pasadena OasisOur first relaxing Saturday afternoon in Pasadena together in months… and we were bored. Our lives are constantly moving and sitting around the apartment all day just doesn’t appeal to us. TripAdvisor revealed the Norton Simon Museum is the #1 attraction in this area, so we threw on some clothes and made the 5 minute […]

Real Food Daily, LAX Airport Terminal 4, Los Angeles, CA USA /
Vegetarian Strikes AgainRight before flying back to LA from Boston, I found out my grandmother passed away in Florida. Upon landing in LA, I found out her funeral was in New York City three days later. And so I booked a flight back to the east coast, to meet up with my family for the 24 hour […]
Joe & The Juice, Sydney Airport, Sydney AUS /
Stress RelieverI was having the most stressful day ever. And for all the wrong reasons. What’s it like when you’re in sales, just attended your largest conference of the year, and all of your emails are going into everyone’s spam folder because of something that happened with Microsoft’s email exchange? It’s the absolute worst. My livelihood […]
University Club, Boston, MA USA /
Snakes in the ClubThe joy we all got from watching my 2 year old son interact with reptiles and curious creatures at the University Club in Boston on a Saturday morning was hard to compete with. I think he loved the turtle the most, although the tarantula was extremely cool (and he got a kick out of seeing […]
Atlantic City Country Club, Atlantic City, NJ USA /
Classic Country ClubMy first real trip to Atlantic City, I was extremely excited to see a destination so many people have spoken about, but I had never experienced. While I had a general understanding of AC, my only recently acquired knowledge came from Al Roker of The Today Show, portraying it as a place that was seemingly […]
Sandbar, Naples, FL USA /
Pineapple ExpressFather son trip to Naples to see his grandmother, my mother – I remember doing this as a kid with an individual parent, and was looking forward to making memories with our 2.5 year old while my wife stayed home and watched our 3 month old. Man on man coverage for the long weekend! Pelican […]
The Quin’ House, Boston, MA USA /
Tomato on TopI was invited to The ‘Quin House specifically to enjoy their club sandwich while catching up with a friend and learning about new ad tech. What could be better than tech talk over a club in a club? I had been to The ‘Quin House on many occasions – and before that, to its predecessor, […]
Banyan Golf Club, West Palm Beach, FL USA /
Banyan's BestMy flight from Boston to Beijing on United was $750/roundtrip. A week later, for MLK weekend, it’s $800/roundtrip Boston to West Palm Beach. Perhaps the prefect example of supply and demand, I was caught in the crosshairs of the airline industry’s pricing model. But a weekend family vacation, as rare as they are, is hard […]

Hotel Nikko, San Francisco, CA USA /
In 20 Minutes9 hours of travel from Boston to San Francisco left me knackered. It was a nonstop flight. We de-iced once. We de-iced again. And we ran through so much fuel de-icing that we went back to the gate to refuel… which took so long, we had to de-ice again. Could you believe that? At least […]
58 floors up – we had a great view of Bangkok, at least when the haze subsided. I wasn’t planning on making a trip here, but as Rachel was able to extend her stay after a conference she was attending, I thought making the trip down south to meet up with her might be a […]
Nobu Hotel, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV USA /
Nobu Club SandwichI had waited for this moment for so long. The second I heard there was a Nobu Hotel in Las Vegas I dreamed to myself: what would a Nobu Club Sandwich be like?? We booked to stay there on our upcoming business trip, and night in and night out I dreamt of A) how a […]

The Connaught, London, England UK /
Posh Spice (mayo)The recommendation came in crystal clear: you must get a martini at The Connaught Hotel. Few recommendations were given so passionately, and I decided to stop the property for this cocktail prior to my night out. The itinerary suggestion delivered – what a fantastic experience. Excellent martini made right in front of me in a […]
Royal Park Hotel Shiodome, Tokyo, Japan /
Fried Chicken FriendlyIt was Rachel’s fourth time in Japan this year. Fourth time staying at this hotel, the Royal Park Hotel Shiodome. And she raved about everything at the property… except their food. She was right: ignoring her advice, nearly every item I tried from their café was a letdown. While the Japanese creations in the exclusive […]
Fireside Lounge, Four Seasons, Vail, CO USA /
Club and DonutsDinner at Flame Thursday night, the premiere restaurant of the Four Seasons in Vail, was absolutely incredible. Over the top, really. Dry aged bison tomahawk steak, buffalo shortrib, Rosen Farms lamb chops, filet mignon, Rocky Mountain elk corn dogs… our table was a meat buffet. This was all followed by a tour of the back […]
The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo, Japan /
45 Floors UpArrive Saturday afternoon depart Monday afternoon. 48hrs in Tokyo how could I go wrong? I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a weekend, considering my arrival to LAX was 9:30am Monday, which enabled me to get to the office by noon. There were only a few items on my “must to do” list, […]

Sam LaGrassa’s, Boston, MA USA /
Four Meat FeastI met my mother at 11:40am, and the place was already packed. Tourists toting luggage on their way to the airport, businessmen dawned in suits partaking in power-lunches, your stereotypical Bostonian enjoying their daily routine… Sam LaGrassa’s was famous and respected among all walks of life. And why shouldn’t it be? This place was great. […]

Henrietta’s Table, The Charles Hotel, Cambridge, MA USA /
The Unpretentious ClubThe Microsoft Outlook Calendar invite arrived in my inbox with a date, time, and place for our meeting: 12:30pm at Henrietta’s Table. Excellent. I had never dined at Henrietta’s Table, but had heard fantastic reviews. My only excuse was that I went to high-school in Cambridge and after graduating, tended to avoid the Harvard Square […]
Aura, The Seaport Hotel, Boston, MA USA /
Seaport Lobster ClubI got the email halfway through breakfast: “Would you like to join Jim and Marianna for lunch at Aura?” I knew we had a 1pm meeting, but my plan was to eat my big breakfast laid out before me and have lunch after we met, so this curveball threw me for a loop. Then I […]
I was meeting my friends from the Charitarian for lunch but did not know the dining destination. To me surprise and delight, we decided on the new Kerry’s Kitchen, located just adjacent to the lobby. While this restaurant boasts on incredible buffet, happiness washed over me as I found the club sandwich on their a […]
The Street Bar, The Newbury Boston, Boston, MA USA /
Spontaneously PlannedWhile I had been planning the excursion for some time, the actual event was spontaneous in of itself. I woke up Tuesday with a desire to head to the office and enjoy my usual yogurt and fruit from Tatte for lunch – when suddenly, without warning, a heavy craving for a club sandwich settled upon […]

Ink.sack, LAX Airport, Los Angeles, CA USA /
Moment of ZenI had booked this trip months prior, taking advantage of Norwegian Air’s inexpensive nonstop flights to Barcelona. I was excited for Lavi‘s bachelor trip, but I was almost more excited for the food extravaganza that was about to embark on. Even though I had just started my new job, this was a trip I couldn’t […]
Wolfgang Puck Express Los Angeles Airport (LAX), LA USA /
Pre-Hawaii MealWe needed a break. We needed some relaxation away from home. Our last time flying somewhere for vacation, just the two of us, was when we went to Hawaii for New Years. How fitting that we would choose the same destination to go to, just as spontaneously as before. We used a combination of United, […]
Potbelly Sandwich Shop, Tampa Bay Airport, Tampa Bay, FL USA /
Delayed in TampaDon’t even think about leaving on time if your flight departs in the late afternoon from Tampa on a hot and humid summer day. Although on the contrary, my 7am flight down to Tampa was delayed 5.5 hours, so perhaps Tampa just isn’t the best destination to fly in/out of in July. But…it was worth […]
Amtrak Express, NYP to BOS, CT USA /
Express Tortilla ClubWe had booked the 4pm Amtrak Express from NYC to Boston, allowing us to have a lazy breakfast in bed, late checkout from the hotel, and a stroll through the city before boarding our train.

I took the above photo, had an incredible meal, and wrote a quick review. Re-reading this review always brings back fantastic memories… I will never forget this moment . This is The One That […]
Very meaty bacon; it’s the first thing you notice when biting into this club. And as hard as it is to get decent bacon in China, JW does a good job… something I’ve learned to expect from the Marriott brand. Unfortunately, the sliced turkey was extremely poor quality of – almost tasted like ham – and […]
Suiran, Kyoto, Japan /
Japanese EscapismSoooooo much sightseeing. Our feet were aching from miles and miles of walking through the narrow streets of Kyoto. Halfway through our trip and at least 12 solid Japanese meals in, my body (and mind) needed something satisfying in a different way. Our first day away from Hokkaido, I used points to book us at […]
Prince de Galles, Paris, France /
Smoked 60The incredible low I experienced the day after my wedding was unlike any other “down” feeling I’ve had. I spent nearly 12 months planning the party of a lifetime, and all of a sudden, it was over. Done. Sure, we had fantastic memories, but there was a sadness that lingered around me knowing our wedding […]
Waldorf Astoria – Trianon Palace, Versailles, France /
Fork and Knife RequiredWe arrived in France extremely jetlagged. Overnight flight with a 3.5 year old and 1.5 year old… I would say none of us got sleep, besides the 3.5 year old, who secured his age in hours of shuteye. 11pm departure, 11am arrival, 6 hours of flight time. 1 hour of customs and immigration. 30 minutes […]

Overnight flight with a 3.5 year old and 1.5 year old… I would say none of us got sleep, besides the 3.5 year old, who secured his age in hours of shuteye. 11pm departure, 11am arrival, 6 hours of flight time. 1 hour of customs and immigration. 30 minutes […]
Centre The Bakery, Tokyo, Japan /
Tokyo SurpriseThe walk from my hotel to Tokyo Station was 40 minutes through Ginza. It is a gorgeous walk, and when the weather is 70 degrees and sunny, it is extremely pleasant… more of a stroll, one might say. I was curious if there would be a club sandwich along my route. The ride from Tokyo […]
VOMO Island and Monuriki Island, Fiji /
Paradise FoundIt’s almost impossible to describe the warm hospitality felt upon arrival at VOMO Island. With so many hotels and resorts to choose from around Fiji, it was a difficult – yet extremely fun – task in finding and selecting VOMO. We didn’t really know what we were in for, but the photos almost undersold the […]
Alexander’s Steakhouse, Pasadena, CA USA /
Smoked Salmon SerenityRachel wanted brunch for her birthday. Something healthy and luxurious at the same time. A unique place we knew would be both quality and memorable. Brunch, as simple as it sounds, is not something the greater Pasadena area is known for unless you’re looking for Dim Sum. And Dim Sum did not meet the requirements […]
Le Pan Kobe Kitano, Itami Airport, Osaka, Tokyo /
Banshu Hyakuchidori!The long road back from Intex in Osaka Bay, nothing is short when it comes to travel in Japan, although everything does move quickly and efficiently. I arrived at Itami International Airport, which strangely enough only serves the domestic market, with 30 minutes before my boarding time. What else to do besides hit up the […]
The Royal Hawaiian, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, HI USA /
A Royal TreatYou would not believe the story that landed me on Waikiki Beach. It started in Boston, had a brief stop in Auckland (New Zealand), a gorgeous 36 hours in San Francisco, and a direct flight to Honolulu where Rachel would be arriving later tonight from a business trip to Australia. That story will have to […]
Sandbar, Naples, FL USA /
Pineapple ExpressFather son trip to Naples to see his grandmother, my mother – I remember doing this as a kid with an individual parent, and was looking forward to making memories with our 2.5 year old while my wife stayed home and watched our 3 month old. Man on man coverage for the long weekend! Pelican […]
Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, Santa Monica, CA USA /
In-Room SecretLA is a massive city. Less of a city, it’s simply a massive area. I live and work in Pasadena, and while Santa Monica is an easy 30 minute drive with no traffic, this time can double, triple, or even quadruple based on traffic. So I take my trips out to Santa Monica very seriously. […]
InterContinental Hotel, Hong Kong /
The One That Started It AllEDITOR’S NOTE: The InterContinental Hong Kong Club Sandwich was the one that inspired me to start Club Sandwich Reviews dot com. I took the above photo, had an incredible meal, and wrote a quick review. Re-reading this review always brings back fantastic memories… I will never forget this moment . This is The One That […]
Henrietta’s Table, The Charles Hotel, Cambridge, MA USA /
The Unpretentious ClubThe Microsoft Outlook Calendar invite arrived in my inbox with a date, time, and place for our meeting: 12:30pm at Henrietta’s Table. Excellent. I had never dined at Henrietta’s Table, but had heard fantastic reviews. My only excuse was that I went to high-school in Cambridge and after graduating, tended to avoid the Harvard Square […]

Top of the Block, Burlington, VT USA /
Oat Bread FTW!Burlington – how lucky we were to be visiting in mid June. Quiet, quaint, and quintessential New England. I loved it here. A breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively. Lunchtime at TTRA would require me sitting in front of a computer working, sadly. Rather than peruse the limited in room dining menu at the […]
Fireside Lounge, Four Seasons, Vail, CO USA /
Club and DonutsDinner at Flame Thursday night, the premiere restaurant of the Four Seasons in Vail, was absolutely incredible. Over the top, really. Dry aged bison tomahawk steak, buffalo shortrib, Rosen Farms lamb chops, filet mignon, Rocky Mountain elk corn dogs… our table was a meat buffet. This was all followed by a tour of the back […]
Alma Hotel, Barcelona, Spain /
Ham HeavenI didn’t choose the hotel. But I was very happy to stay here. Alma Barcelona was a wonderful hotel in a splendid neighborhood of the city. 5 stars exuded from their every pore as you entered the hotel and began the check in process. 36hrs in Barcelona is not a lot of time to enjoy […]
Deli-Icious, La Jolla, San Diego, CA USA /
Bread in the BreezeI was in San Diego on business staying at the brand new Intercontinental Hotel, which as fantastic as it was, came without a club sandwich. Unfortunate. So as a ventured off for my day full of meetings, I knew I had to find a club that would fill me up with the energy I needed […]
Marty’s Fine Wines, Newton, MA USA /
Inside the Liquor Store“Do not, my friends, become addicted to water; it will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.” – the line from Mad Max Fury Road somehow echoed alongside my obsession with club sandwiches. Club deprived. No travel the past quarter. Most lunchtime spots in Boston closed. Hotel restaurants not catering to public […]
The Connaught, London, England UK /
Posh Spice (mayo)The recommendation came in crystal clear: you must get a martini at The Connaught Hotel. Few recommendations were given so passionately, and I decided to stop the property for this cocktail prior to my night out. The itinerary suggestion delivered – what a fantastic experience. Excellent martini made right in front of me in a […]
Trade, Boston (Logan Airport), MA USA /
Airport MessinessMy first work trip in 17 months – to a tourism conference with 800 others… I couldn’t have been more excited. My industry! My people! All together! There was so much to celebrate just around that notion, I almost didn’t need my daily Starbucks at Logan airport. I don’t recall the last time I flew […]
by Chloe, Boston, MA USA /
100% Plant BasedI had only been working at my new WeWork office for a few days when the advertisement splashed on my Instagram feed: a new plant based vegan club sandwiched offered from by Chloe, one block from my office. I’ve been to by Chloe before, I thought it was solid the one time, so a second […]
Mirasol’s Café, Dartmouth, MA USA /
Jive Club in Dartmouth“Eizeh Yom, what a GORGEOUS day!” I proudly exclaimed to Rachel on our Sunday morning walk to Starbucks. We both agreed today deserved the beach. And with that, Rachel and I were on a spontaneous trip to Horseneck Beach, just over an hour from Boston in Dartmouth Massachusetts. Rachel knew Dartmouth well, so I let […]

Little America Hotel & Resort, Cheyenne WY USA /
Applewood AromasI ended up at Little America Hotel & Resort in Cheyenne, Wyoming thanks to my one of my partner’s great work in tourism for destinations throughout the state. A 36hr trip door to door, however, did not leave me a lot of time, and as the hours dwindled, I needed to drive back to the […]

Quiznos, Palm Beach Airport, West Palm Beach, FL USA /
Quiznos Ultimate ClubWe spent the weekend in Palm Beach County, Florida, where the highway speed limit matches the average age: 70. West Palm, to Palm Beach, to Palm Beach Gardens…. Everywhere looked the same, but I wasn’t complaining… February in Boston is quite cold, and a quick 3 hour trip down south was the exact remedy I […]
Greenberg’s Deli branded itself as a “must-visit establishment for anyone craving authentic New York-style deli cuisine.” How could I say no to that statement? A quick 15 minute walk from our hotel, I knew this would be the perfect pitstop in between my plane landing and my wife finishing her day at work. I was […]
The Strand Hotel, Yangon, Myanmar /
Colonial ClubBusiness trip to Myanmar… It sounded unconventional. And it wasn’t originally meant to be, but Rachel’s conference got moved from Bangkok to Yangon due to “political unrest” in Thailand. I wasn’t originally meant to go with her, but upon learning of her changed plans, and having never been to Myanmar, there was no chance I […]
Suiran, Kyoto, Japan /
Japanese EscapismSoooooo much sightseeing. Our feet were aching from miles and miles of walking through the narrow streets of Kyoto. Halfway through our trip and at least 12 solid Japanese meals in, my body (and mind) needed something satisfying in a different way. Our first day away from Hokkaido, I used points to book us at […]

Royal Park Hotel Shiodome, Tokyo, Japan /
Fried Chicken FriendlyIt was Rachel’s fourth time in Japan this year. Fourth time staying at this hotel, the Royal Park Hotel Shiodome. And she raved about everything at the property… except their food. She was right: ignoring her advice, nearly every item I tried from their café was a letdown. While the Japanese creations in the exclusive […]
“Where should we go for lunch?” Jonathan asked me via text. I was getting used to this game: people being nice by asking me where I want to go, only for me to tell them I’m new to the city and they should make the suggestion… “29 Newbury is always easy and good” said Jonathan. […]

O’Charley’s, Nashville Airport (BNA), TN USA /
O'Charley's Half and HalfThe sign caught my eye: “Good food, Good times. Come on it for good food.” “Good” wasn’t the most exciting word, but the redundancy is what got me. I had walked around the airport for a solid 30 minutes – O’Charley’s was the only spot with a club sandwich and with my hunger at an […]
Abe & Louie’s (2), Boston, MA USA /
Tri-SlicedIs there such a thing as too much seafood? Monday night was oysters. Tuesday night was lobster. Wednesday night was oysters. Thursday night was lobster. It was Friday, and it pained me to think I wanted something besides oysters and lobster. Boston is full of steakhouses (that all serve lobster and oysters, no joke) and […]
Starbucks, Yonganli, Beijing, China /
Starbucks China ClubI woke up to the blaring sound of Chinese folk music coming from outside; it felt foreign. Where am I? What time is it? If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? I checked the mirror – nope, just the bed head version […]
I’ve always been a fan of dining with a relaxing, wonderful view in front of me with little noise around to ruin the moment – and many restaurants just don’t offer this. In fact, these dining situations are hard to come by, which made enjoying lunch on our balcony after an afternoon of wakeboarding an […]
Ojai Valley Inn and SPA, Ojai, CA USA /
Energy EnrichmentPure relaxation. Full of energy. Ojai was everything everyone described it would be. Even in the middle of January. Though I could not see any of the mountains or farms that I would gaze at on the daytime ride back, I knew I was in for something special as I wound through the hills on 150 East […]
St. Regis Mauritius Resort, Le Morne, Mauritius /
Bread by the BeachThe pinnacle of perfection. I expected nothing but the best. Mauritius – it’s one of those destinations you hear about but never actually visit… at least for most Americans. Our sights were set on this island country for nearly a year as we researched beach destinations for our honeymoon. We actually chose Paris (previous destination) […]
Nothing but leisurely activities were listed on the agenda for our 6 day trip over New Year’s in Bohol, Philippines, and I knew enjoying a club sandwich in a relaxing environment wouldn’t be a difficult task to check off. To my surprise, however, a decent club was a hard meal to find; while everywhere served […]
Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort, Bagan, Myanmar /
Triple Decker SanctuaryHonestly, I wasn’t too hungry. And it was impossible to imagine being more relaxed than I was. But the scene just begged for a club sandwich. (Side Note: please see my previous club sandwich at The Strand Hotel in Yangon, prior to arriving in Bagan. 8 flights in 7 days…) We had time to visit […]

We arrived at the hotel at midnight starving after a flight from Beijing and I immediately grabbed the room service menu and found the club sandwich. Wow was I impressed when it arrived; this was a serious meal. Two well-done fried eggs, nice leaf of lettuce, beautifully repined tomato, toasted soft baguette-styled bread… A+ job on these […]

Cactus Club Cafe, Vancouver, BC Canada /
Ocean Wise Tuna ClubI was surprised to find out I only knew one person living in Vancouver. Just one. I was there on business, in between Seattle and Vail, and had just one night out. Well two – the previous day I had arrived early in the evening and wanted to try the Blue Water Cafe, a restaurant […]
