The Michael W Travels family started off the summer break with a trip to Iceland.
During our trip, we focused on visiting areas in the south. We had a great time during our trip around this pricey island nation.
Food costs in Iceland can potentially break the budget but there are some ways to save. Daily supermarket visits kept the price of daily breakfast, lunch and snacks to $25-$30 (per day for a family of 4). Continue reading A Tasty Souvenir From Our Trip To Iceland
When traveling to new places, we love trying out some of the local food. During our recent trip to Iceland, this meant trying out hot dogs which are know there as pylsur.
During our 8 days in Iceland, we tried out hot dogs at various different stands and even at gas stations. In my opinion, they’re all pretty much the same. (From what I noticed, all places serve the same brand of hot dog from the brand SS, so how different could they really be!)

The most famous items on the menu are sliders and sandwiches made with Taylor Ham (a salty, porky NJ specialty). Continue reading Ridiculous Street Signs #25: Hot Dogs- Linden, New Jersey

Hot Dogs. Is there a more American food than these super unhealthy yet tasty tubes of meat?
When I think of a barbecue, I think hot dogs. The Fouth of July- fireworks and you guessed it, hot dogs.
Growing up I loved hot dogs, much more than burgers but probably not quite as much as pizza. While burgers have edged out the hot dog for me, I still do love a good, tasty dog.
And who knew there were so many varieties! Continue reading Daily Meal’s 75 Best Hot Dogs in America 2015
While planning my trip to Chicago this past October, I came across a tour that I really wanted to take. However, there were a couple of problems.
The tour that would elude me was a visit to the manufacturing facility of Vienna Beef.
