As 2019 draws to an end, I would like to share its highlights with a year-end roundup of posts about the best food, drink, and travel related treats that I came across over the past 12 months.
With respect to blogging, 2019 was probably the least active year since I started tikichris.com back in 2016. But that doesn’t mean I’ve been resting on my laurels. Big changes and an overall (and often overwhelmingly) busy schedule across these past 12 months meant I often wasn’t able to post in a timely manner about all the things worth sharing. I paid attention when I came across especially fun and flavoursome stuff though.
As in the years before, I kept plenty of notes to help recall the most noteworthy experiences. To be sure, the year had plenty of peaks and troughs … and long plateaus. This “Best of” series, obviously, is focused on the peaks.
The categories for my best of 2019 lists are as follows:
- Podcasts;
- Breakfast and Brunch;
- Coffee;
- Pizza;
- Burgers;
- Beer;
- Cheap Eats;
- Bars and Pubs; and
- Restaurants.
Over the next few days, I’ll share the results with you in a series of Best of 2019 posts.
When reading these lists, please keep in mind that they merely reflect how I chose to spend my time during the year and are comprised of long established and brand new venues as well as businesses that are local to me or somehow related to where work and play took me. Items in lists appear in alphabetic order, not ranked.
