Yashina Burns

Traveler. Food obsessive. Chaos in the kitchen and on the map. I quit my 9-to-5 to chase the world's best street food, hole-in-the-wall gems, and grandma recipes that never made it to Instagram.

YumBug is where food meets passport stamps. Whether it's dumplings in Taipei at 2AM or fresh pasta in a Tuscan farmhouse, I'm here for it all — and I want you to come along.

Osaka, Japan

Takoyaki & Okonomiyaki ★★★★★

Marrakech, Morocco

Lamb Tagine & Pastilla ★★★★☆
The best meals aren't in Michelin guides. They're in the places where the menu is on the wall, the cook is someone's grandma, and you point at what the person next to you is having.
