Roger and I have a bit of a tradition when it comes to dining out—we almost exclusively go for Asian cuisine, about 99% of the time. It’s been our favorite pastime ever since we met in Atlanta back in 2012. Atlanta’s large Asian population and diverse culinary offerings made it the perfect place to indulge in everything from spicy Thai dishes to authentic ramen and sushi. We would spend weekends exploring hidden gems and trying new restaurants, falling in love with not just the food but the experience of sharing those meals together. We continue that tradition in Delray Beach, finding joy in discovering new Asian spots that remind us of our time in Atlanta. Whether it's sushi, curries, or anything in between, these meals have always been a way for us to connect and share something we both love.
