I'm Sandy. Food fanatic. Aspiring Blogger. Dog mama to a Maltipoo named Saké (yup like the booze). NYC dweller. Wine lover. Saké drinker. Bourbon sipper. I have an unapologetic weakness for Starbucks Caramel Macchiatos (with extra whipped cream please), fluffy doughnuts, and double fried french fries with mayo, never ketchup. I love a perfectly juicy Shake Shack burger when I'm too tired to cook, or a slurp-worthy bowl of ramen, and would never turn down a generous shaving of fresh truffles, one of my favorite splurge worthy indulgences.
People say we eat with our eyes first, and that our visual perception affects our sense of smell and taste... so I hope my food photos will inspire you. Inspire you to feast with your eyes first, and then seek out the foods you enjoy (perhapse even new ones too) and truly savor-every-bite.

Oh Bolonga! The food, the food, oh so good. It is THE food capital of the world! Also where the Italians come to eat on their vacations. L’Arcimboldo is a fine dining spot in Bologna that offers traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist. If you’re looking something a little different than the traditional Italian dishes, specifically the Tortellini in Brodo and Green Lasagna that is synonymous with Bologna, than L’Arcimboldo is the spot to try. Their plating is like art, and the flavors deliver on a dish that tastes as good as it looks. This place is definitely bite worthy.
