Discover True Love at Rancho Loma Ranch, Texas: Sunsets, Cava & Culinary Bliss

Dear Rancho Loma,

It is agony to be apart from you. I long to sit on your porch, glass of cava in hand, taking in a pre-dinner sunset. The memory of your grilled rib eye seared in duck fat or venison with spicy roasted pears drives me to distraction. You leave me, sitting at my computer, staring out the window dreaming of heated assignations with your jalapeno blue cheese polenta. When can I taste the silken texture of your chocolate ancho crème brulee? Nip at your Texas peach-and-mascarpone tart? When can I feast my eyes on your dazzling gardens of edible flowers and the gold-shot emerald plumage of your bantam roosters? I ache for your élan, your modern farmhouse chic.

Alas, that which makes me love you is the very cause of our separation. Rancho Loma, you are the Lone Star State's finest culinary offering. You nestle there in the dry desert grasses of Valera, Texas, studded with pecan trees and blue bonnets. To bring you to New York would kill you — break your cowboy spirit. Be mine forever. Please start serving on Thursdays.

Love,
Stephanie

    Last week, I returned to one of my favorite U.S. cities: Austin. This marked my second visit this year, following a delightful long weekend in February that offered a welcome escape from the East Coast winter. The primary draw was the inaugural TravelCon, a standout conference featuring 80 speakers and 600 attendees. It exceeded expectations, and Ill be attending the next one in Boston in June 2019. To fully immerse myself, I scheduled three days before and after the event to revisit beloved foo

  • World Traveler s Voluntour Tale: Adopting My Beloved Dog in Guatemala

  • The Irresistible Allure of Palermo: Sicily s Captivating Capital

    Were kicking off Sicily week on Fathom, starting with the capital. Contributing editor Erica Firpo calls Rome her home but finds the siren song of Palermo irrestistible. Heres why.PALERMO, Sicily – I am pretty sure that Palermo is a Gemini. The Sicilian capital seems to fit every definition of the astrological symbol: fickle, flirty, feckless, inconsistent, generous, brilliant, and entertaining. Whether its a sultry summer day or a bitter,
