I'm Nick, and I plan trips around what I want to eat

Started because every other guide felt like it was written by someone who never actually ate there

I started Passport to Plate because I wanted something more personal than a generic travel guide and more useful than a list written by someone who clearly never showed up hungry and just started walking.

I wanted a place that felt like getting recommendations from a real person. Someone excited, a little obsessive, and very willing to tell you which meal is worth rearranging your whole day for.

That is pretty much me.

I’ve now traveled to 18 countries and 34 cities. Food is always the center of it. The meals, the wine, the places you don’t want to leave.

So that is what this blog is built around. Not everything. Just the places, dishes, and cities that feel worth your time.
