Inside the kitchen at Breads Bakery as they pipe, roll and glaze their new matcha twist on the classic babka-style pastry. Flaky, green and, by Christine's verdict, insanely good. One for the matcha lovers.

A 10-year anniversary at a classic French bistro in Paris's 2nd arrondissement. Foie gras, a perfectly done main and a chocolate mousse worth the trip. But her chef-husband's favorite dish wasn't the foie gras.

Twelve fish sandwiches, three chicken sandwiches and a sesame ball later: is this cult-favorite bakery's crispy fish sandwich worth the wait?

Connecticut calls itself the pizza capital of the US, so Christine puts the legends to the test. Frank Pepe's is the oldest and most famous, but does its white clam pie live up to the hype? Then it's on to Sally's, where the sauce does the talking.

A leafy, string-lit patio, checkered tablecloths and a table full of Italian comfort food: bread dragged through red sauce, a golden-crusted skillet bake, cacio e pepe-style spaghetti and baked meatballs. This is Atlanta at its coziest.

Birthday cake, a sweat session with her favorite crew and a lot of joy. Christine celebrates turning 50 her way.
