📌 There are six restaurants, all are included. Gorgeous designs and architecture make you feel like you’re in a different world. The food here is wildly delicious and the ingredients have a HIGH focus on integrity & freshness. The mixology is also top tier.
👉 This place is PERFECT for a couples or friends getaway but it’s also a hot spot for solo travelers. Truly a sanctuary of body & mind and you can really tailor the experience to be exactly what you’re looking for.
🎥 Watch the video for the full scoop.
🖊️ This place is bucket list worthy.
📍 Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

📌 Beyond fried chicken, the menu here is stocked with super tasty Korean food. Definitely worth exploring for a cultural foodie moment. Think Korean tacos, sotteok sotteok, bulgogi fries & those Korean donuts are crazyyyy!
📍 Long Island (Centereach), NYC & Nationwide!

📌 Suggest reserving yours early as these things sell out pretty quickly. Cabins fit between 4-8 people depending on which one you choose.
📍 Sayville, Long Island
👉 CERTIFIED HIDDEN GEM
#LongIsland #LongIslandNY #LongIslandLife #Foodie #LongIslandEats
📌 This is the same spot that does the stuffed chicken cutlet tacos! Another absolute must smash on their menu.
📍 Ronkonkoma, Long Island

📌 My Grandma Giuseppina brought this culinary tradition from Sicily when she immigrated to the USA in the 1940s, as she did with the octopus tradition (see yesterdays post) - after she passed away, my Mom took over and crafts them just as my Grandma did.
👉 I have to say what makes this so special is two things: The breading recipe and frying it in EVOO. It’s not easy, given olive oils low burning temperature, but when you do it for decades and master it, as my Mom and Grandma have, the taste is unlike any other fried food. Italian American skill at its finest!
🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS GRUBFAM! I love you very much. Wishing you and your family love & light during this divine season.

📌 To be honest, the preparation of the octopus was one of my very first times being enchanted by food. Watching my Grandma prepare this mystical creature each year as a child began as horrifying but would transition to fascination, pushing me to see food as something other than just what we eat, but also as something that carries stories and history. A realization that would lead me here today.
✔️ With all of that being said, take this as a lesson to never abandon your family’s traditions. Heritage and culture are the threads that tie us together.
🫶 Merry Christmas Eve, Grubfam! Still got one more Sicilian tradition video to hit you with later today. Stay tuned!

📌 Led by Chef Vijaya Kumar, who comes from Tamil Nadu, is one a kind. His food is a love letter to his childhood, blending his region’s traditional flavor with high end vessels like lobster, crab, short rib & branzino. It’s a special menu (that’s all a la carte) that keeps me coming back time and time again.
🤙 This is my favorite Indian restaurant for its venture outside of Americanized palates and perception of Indian cuisine. The flavors go deep and they’re done with finesse.
👀 Watch the videos to see my must try dishes, which include the gunpowder dosa, pineapple scallop, beef short rib, banana leaf branzino, lamb chops, lobster & the CRAB FOR TWO 🥵
📍 West Village, Manhattan, New York City
#TheGrubfather #Manhattan #NYC #IndianFood #NewYorkCity
📌 The pupusas here are among the best I’ve ever had and they have a whole menu filled with all different types of fillings. The chicharron they make gets ground down and it’s amazing inside, but you can’t go wrong. If you’re not hip on pupusas, they’re a corn flour tortilla, hand crafted, stuffed & grilled. Ugh, I’m obsessed!!
🌮 The taco game here is also banging. They have a pupusa taco, but I gotta say, the PANDA TACOS are insanely good. I got it with chicken. The homemade tortilla and signature pink sauce makes all the difference.
👉 You’ll also find meat plates (loved the carne asada), empanadas, Salvadoran baked goods, quesadillas & banging sandwiches. Homemade is the name of the game here.
🏃♂️ RUN, DON’T WALK. Trust me!
📍 Amityville, Long Island, NY

👀 Watch the full video for all the details and to see every course. Let me just tell you: That truffle pasta is worth traveling for. This whole experience is truly something special. It’s an honor to be let in on this family’s tradition.
👉 They also sell amazing truffle products. You can book this experience and check out their truffle products at
