We Tried The New Detroit-Style Pizza At Pizza Hut!

Pizza HutSince we’ve been spending a lot more time at home during the pandemic, I picked up a new hobby.

The Michael W Travels family really loves pizza so I decided it was time to learn to try to make pizza at home! Making pizza at home is no easy task and there are a lot of skills involved. It’s been a fun and tasty journey and I’m pretty happy with how it’s progressed.

Besides making primarily NY style pies, I’ve also starting working on making Detroit Style pizza! Detroit- style pizza is made in a pan and has delicious, caramelized crispy cheese around the edge. If you haven’t tried this style, I suggest you try to find a place that offers it! Continue reading We Tried The New Detroit-Style Pizza At Pizza Hut!

Visiting NYC’s The Hole To See Misaki Kawai’s Moko Moko Doki Doki

The HoleEarlier in the month I heard about a free art exhibition at The Hole in New York City with a really fun name.

The exhibition from Misaki Kawai, called Moko Moko Doki Doki didn’t only have a fun name, the art itself looked really bizarre, unique and interesting! I also felt that it would appeal to not only Kim and I, but also to our kids, 9 year-old Lucas and 4 year-old Theo.

I had planned to visit the exhibition before going for dinner at a place close by but I totally forgot about it. However, as luck would have it, we happened to walk past The Hole on the way to Momofuku Ko. I guess luck was on our side… Continue reading Visiting NYC’s The Hole To See Misaki Kawai’s Moko Moko Doki Doki

Indoor dining will finally be returning to NYC starting on February 14- Valentines Day! Continue reading Save The Restaurants! NYC Indoor Dining Returns February 14!

Food Review: Limited Time Shake Shack Korean- Style Menu

Shake ShackFor quite some time, I’ve mentioned how Shake Shack is my favorite fast casual restaurant. Earlier in the month I wrote how, for a limited time they would be offering items from South Korean Shacks.

During our trip a few years back, we had a chance to dine at Shake Shack in South Korea. While the food was very good, it wasn’t much different than eating at a US location.

We recently gave the Shake Shack South Korea menu a try. Continue reading Food Review: Limited Time Shake Shack Korean- Style Menu
