Culinary Travel, Restaurant Recommendations, Cheese & Charcuterie
  • Madalyn has traveled and eaten her way through 20+ countries on solo backpacking adventures and while working on a cruise ship. She discovered that some of the best bites were often the most budget-friendly and off the beaten path.
  • She took a deep dive into the world of charcuterie during her time as a food tour guide, taking guests to local markets and cheesemongers, which was cut short due to the pandemic. She is now happily responsible for creating delectable boards for every dinner party and family gathering.
  • After living in Philadelphia for five years, Madalyn definitely knows where to find the best Philly cheesesteak. She'll tell you her answer only if you promise to try her other recommendations from the city's criminally underrated food scene.
