The Dangerous One was there adding his dry wit and antics to make it even more fun.

Fantastic Lisbon!
Hills, hills and more hills. We conquered the metro, the trams and the funiculars. Isn't it a dream that no one makes a deal out of masks wearing. It is refreshing. Thank you for finding such a great off the beaten track city tour. We learned so much! We had such a great time celebrating your adventure going to the culinary institute. Such amazing food.

You are so true on all of this. This was a great day, and was the start of an amazing adventure.

Travel Brenno is set free
Friend, chef and world traveler.... it has been too long since you traveled and far too long since you traveled with us. Our next caper is in the planning stages! I swear the night before the food at the restaurant was significantly better. That poor sad chicken was embarrassing. Better things came after that meal. Love exploring with you! Pastry, coffee and chocolates always improve things. I'm glad you didn't go to the top and try any stunts on the monument to the explorers! MJ

Free Range Travel Brenno
It is very great to be out in the world again, especially with such good friends. The dinner was still nice, and honestly, without some less than memorable dishes, life would be less interesting. And, no. No stunts on the monument, although you know there will be others.

Enjoying my virtual vacation to Lisbon
Hi Brendan - I'm enjoying the blog, reliving some Portugal through you and love seeing the food you enjoy. Glad they got you in for that special dinner, you deserve it! Keep the stories and pictures flowing. We head to Scottsdale Thursday for 10 days but will continue to check in. Enjoy!

That is a great name
I didn't think of it when I wrote it, but you're right. Now that the band is back together, the Masked Bandits shall become our name. And doesn't the Dangerous One look even more dangerous here?

If you thought the chicken was bad, don't try the bacalao (dried cod).

Too Funny!
Sadly for the chicken, the dried cod had more flavor. That was only a small blip on an extraordinary food journey so far.

The Wrath of the Brendan
The Vermillion Room Spa House has been unused since your stay...the sign still standing...the snake still in the mandarin tree. Bet you can hardly wait for your cruise of the Duoro where the imaginary Wrath of the Brendan can be packed away...never to emerge as The Three Amigos and the band hold sway!

Oh, That Snake and the Vermillion Room
I love that you still have the room and snake. That was such a good Aussie welcome. Yes, we are on the cruise, and the wrath of Brendan has been packed away. This trip is going very well, with good food, drink and great friends.

That Chicken!
Glad you 3 have been enjoying the wine and company. Lisbon is fascinating. Actually enjoyed all my meals there so I feel sorry for that chicken! Tsk Tsk. But your narrative gave me a good laugh. Keep writing. Hugs to the 3 pandemic travellers-- you guys surely know how to beat the odds!

3 pandemic travelers
We are enjoying this trip, and other than the chicken misstep, have found very good food. It is nice to see that travel is picking up here in Lisbon, but it certainly isn't what I would expect it to be. Thank you for the comment, especially that you enjoyed the narrative. I hope that one day our paths will cross.

Bom Dia!
I just read the Binkleys posts in Spain and was thinking I wonder when BV Chef will post and viola there it is! You are probably a great person to travel with because you’ll critic and seek out all the great food. I’d be trapped eating the custard tarts in Porto. Have fun and continue on free-range Brendan!

Trapped eating custard tarts
I loved the image of you being trapped with the custard tarts. Not really a bad thing, though. Thank you for the comment. The Binkleys and I travel well because we all seek out the good food. I hope you enjoy the rest of the blogs to follow.

Well, through good timing and lots of luck, I am about to hit the skies again. It has been far too long since my last journey. As much as I love going to visit my family each year, the act of heading to the airport and climbing on a plane to the homeland lacks the edge, excitement and the element of the unknown that a trip abroad brings. As with the rest of the world, my life shifted and changed through the pandemic; however, it is time to set free Brenno, the traveler lurking just beneath my daily home persona. The next big adventure is a trip to the Galapagos Islands. This will once again i... full info
