What a delicious whirlwind the past few weeks have been! I had the absolute pleasure of visiting both US coasts and got a chance to go back to some of my favourite places – and find some new gems as well. If you live in any of these beautiful cities, well, I’m envious you get to enjoy them on a regular basis. And if you’re visiting, add these to your must-eat list!
