Our Story
Travel. Eat. Repeat.
We’re Darah and Garrett, two mistake-prone wanderers with a mad love for food. Our life has been an adventure ever since we eloped in a pink Cadillac in Las Vegas.
Where Food Takes Us started as a way to keep track of what we ate and where we slept. It turned into the site we wished we’d had before every trip: useful travel information with a budget in mind, from our many mistakes to our sweet successes.
Everything here is first-hand. If we recommend a trail, we’ve walked it. If we tell you to skip a restaurant, we paid for the meal that taught us.
Darah
Navigates, plans the route, books the tables, and keeps the spreadsheet. Will add a two-hour detour for a bakery and call it efficient.
Garrett
Does the driving and most of the writing, and can’t visit a place without reading up on its history first. Finds some of the best hikes we’ve done.
How We Travel
What You’ll Find Here
First-hand only
We only write about places we have been. Mistakes included, so you can skip them.
Budget in mind
Trips that don’t break the bank. Where we saved, where we splurged, and what wasn’t worth the money.
Food First
Every trip is planned around meals. Restaurants, markets, and the snacks worth a detour.
