Before the Big Green Egg, there was the mushikamado: a clay pot that steamed rice over charcoal 🍚🔥 I went to Japan to find it and ate everything along the way 🇯🇵🍜 youtube.com/watch?v=_Zd7A8w9…

Spent 2 days in Montego Bay chasing real Jamaican food… kitchens, markets, and an actual jerk pit. Turns out Pimento wood is their secret ingredient. 🇯🇲🔥 Full video ⬇️ youtu.be/bL8kR_cQw0Y

Went to Switzerland for the cheese. Left obsessed with a potato. Rösti, toboggans, the oldest town in the country, and why the Swiss might just be onto something. 🇨🇭 roadto50cuisines.substack.co…

Ichiran Ramen, Fukuoka Ichiran has the best Tonkotsu in Fukuoka- which is saying something as Fukuoka invented it. One of the best ramen chains on the planet, and they're everywhere in Japan. You cannot leave without trying it.

Hakata Area, Fukuoka I don't exectly remember the names of the restuarants I visited here. But, the food was amazing. Tonkotsu Ramen + Gyoza + Seafood Platter + Sashimi. This is the kind of eating where you stop checking the time.

Now Fukuoka. And this one is personal. Japanese Mother's Cooking Class, Fukuoka. I made Okonomiyaki, Tempura, Tori no Teriyaki, Nabe, Tamagoyaki. FIVE dishes, with my own hands, in someone's home kitchen. Yes, I made them. They still count.

Ginza Kagari, Chuo City. Tori Paitan Ramen. This has a creamy chicken broth, clean and delicate, nothing like the heavy hit of tonkotsu. Japan has a ramen for every mood and every meal.

First stop wasn't even Fukuoka. It was Narita Airport. Tomita, Narita Airport. Yes- it startes before you step out of the airport! Tsukemen- Thick, chewy noodles served with a rich broth. Dense, intense, almost sauce-like. And this is at an airport.

I've cooked in a lot of kitchens. This 300-year-old Bavarian one tested me differently. Ep 1 of 50 Kitchens. Shane McMahon, Asam-Schlössl, and four dishes I won't forget. 🇩🇪🔥

I flew 10,000 miles to Australia… and it completely caught me off guard 🇦🇺 This one turned into way more than just a trip 👀✈️ Rugby madness. Unreal food. Watch my adventure here: youtu.be/SAiLq026q7M

Indonesian food really lived up to the hype. If you haven't tried the local flavors here yet, you’re missing out. 10/10 would recommend! 🥘🔥 #Indonesia tiktok.com/@roadto50cuisines…
