Fabada Asturiana at Casa Chema

Fabada Asturiania is a classic dish from northern Spain that always satisfied. At Casa Chema, a restaurant located near Oviedo, you’ll find one of the best examples. Let’s start with a cheese plate.

Those are are cheeses local to the area and delicious. Next, let’s enjoy some vegetables.

Finally, here is the blessed Fabada Asturiana, served with the meat separate from the beans. Thus, you can fill your bowl as you like.

I’ve enjoyed this meal at many places. At Casa Chema it was the best I’ve ever had.

Redneck BBQ Lab

So, yeah, BBQ is the way to go when you’re that hungry and demand quality. I’ve head the pleasure of enjoying the Redneck BBQ Lab on four separate occasions now. It’s always fantastic. Here’s a short video of them racking up some ribs.

And here’s a video made with my Osmo Pocket Camera showing the platter.

That’s a half rack by the way. Next time, I’m going all in for the full rack. Worth every bite.

Cantina dei Papi, Rome

Cantina dei Papi has a few locations in Rome. I stopped in to the one in the Trastevere neighborhood for a snack while in the city.

El Bernardino, Segovia, return…

I’ve been to El Bernardino in Segovia, Spain, many times. It’s a popular restaurant, but don’t let that bother you. Simply go a little earlier than the usual meal time. You’ll have a seat, great service, and darn good food.

DSC_2897Of course, they do a delicious cochinillo here, have a great wine list, but don’t miss the ponche segoviano dessert seen below:

IMG_1841The dessert is worth a stop here. I did mention the wine, and here’s a tasty bottle you can find most anywhere.
