Vikings love a Full Irish Breakfast
Sadly, it looked much better than it tasted. It was at a touristy place and the bacon and corned beef were both paper thin and overcooked. I really enjoyed the friends I was with, but this dish was just meh.
Looks amazing, though, doesn’t it?

(elevator opens, very full of preteen boys and a lone soccer mom)
Preteen Boy: “You can fit!”
(soccer mom eye roll)
Me: “Thanks, I’m going to pass.”
Corset Lady 1, stepping into elevator: “It’s OK. We showered today.”
Corset Lady 2, squeezing into elevator: “Together.”
(soccer mom eyes get huge)
(elevator closes)
Me: …
Me: “I love SciFi conventions.”
While in Columbus, OH for a convention, of course I tried the Hyatt Regency’s lobby restaurant.
I was very surprised that, thanks to an exchange program for culinary students at a nearby cooking school, the Hyatt offers their own versions of several Filipino dishes. The one I tried is called “Sisig”. In this case, it’s made with slow-roasted pork in a hoisin-soy glaze, served over brown rice, with a fried egg on top and roasted corn on the side. It was delicious and complex and a delightful departure from the typical American fare you usually find in hotel restaurants.
And, no, you don’t want to know which parts of the pig they use in the original version back in the Philippines.
