U.S. Senate Soup is pure comfort in an unassuming bowl—a simple ham and bean soup with a long, quiet history.

Eleven cheeses, endless laughter, and a city that knows how to feed your soul. From a life-changing cheese tour to late-night crepes and great company, Paris reminded me that food isn’t just about flavor — it’s about memory, joy, and finding your own little piece of nirvana.

Golden, flaky pastries and the unmistakable hum of Paris in October — this was a week made for savoring. From cozy cafés and art-filled afternoons to the kind of meals that linger in memory, every bite told a story. Come taste the city that reminded me how joy often lives in the simplest, most delicious moments.
