Chefette



Chefette is the local fast-food chain in Barbados. They serve everything from burgers and fries to rotis and their upscale section BBQ-Barn even has pork chops and macaroni pie. So we are clear, I love Chefette. There's nothing quite like a Broasted Chicken Bubbie Sandwich on a warm Sunday afternoon on Accra. Its actually one of the things I miss most when traveling. Don't be confused by there signature Broasted Chicken, it is fried chicken just cooked under a pressure fryer. The difference is subtle, but so damn good. Its the definition of crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Now if you visit Barbados and don't go to Chefette, you haven't really visited Barbados. It can only be found here so don't even try to cheat. Their trademark yellow and purple are iconic here and could never be copied with the same success. There are 15 branches spread out around the island so it shouldn't be hard to find one, and when you go, trust me you won't regret it. If you want Bajan Street Cred get the Broasted  Chicken Breast Sandwich, 6 piece Nuggets and Chips with a Mauby. Extra points if you call it a Chicken Bubbie Sandwich. But if theres a special get the Wing Dings. 6 Dings, Chips and a Coke... and the Sauce. Always use the sauce. It makes the meal, its like if hot-sauce and ketchup had a perfect baby.

In conclusion, if you are every hungry in Barbados just go up to a taxi driver and say, "Take me to Chefette" and all will be right with the world. If you want to look them up online, go to www.chefette.com. Find the closest location to you, give them a call and order everything on the menu.

Baubax Travel Jacket



Backpackers are constantly looking for multifunctional items. This jacket takes the cake. It's got features that I would never even think of, or really need; but I want it. Now. It's got:
  • Neck Pillow
  • Eye Mask
  • Drink Pocket
  • Microfiber Cloth
  • Eyeglass Pocket
  • Ipad Pocket
  • Hand Warming Pockets
  • Earphone Holders
  • Phone Pocket
  • Zipper, which is a Stylus and a Pen
  • Passport Pocket
  • Blanket Pocket
  • Gloves
  • and a Portable Charger Pocket
Im One Jacket. Thats like one piece of carry-on by itself. And they come in different styles; Sweatshirt, Windbreaker, Bomber and Blazer. I think its all incredible. Can't decide between getting the Sweatshirt or the Bomber.

I think thats all pretty cool and I'm getting one for sure. If you would like one too check out their kickstarter here. Worse case scenario, you have a cool jacket with a lot of odd pockets. So, which jacket are you going to order?

Update July 27 2016: Although the kickstarter has ended you can now purchase the jacket at ebags.com.
