Ah, the glamour of travel.
An completed globetrotter known for her takes on glam destinations had fans doing double takes with the reveal that one in every of her favorite meals in any country is one she makes in her hotel room.
Samantha Brown, host of Samantha Brown’s Places to Love on PBS, made the common-or-garden admission on social media with a fast video that showed her in relatively average-looking digs using a clamshell container crammed with lettuce to drag together a fast but healthy dinner — one she confessed was “about as fancy-schmancy as I get lately.”
“I’ve been making my hotel room salad for years in three, four-star hotels across the USA — they’re those that offer you the massive fridges,” Brown told her Instagram followers.
“I head to the closest supermarket, gather all of the ingredients, hopefully organic, after which just eat a very healthy meal.”
She was inspired, she said, “by my love of supermarkets, which I visit like they’re a neighborhood attraction … in addition to just wanting to remain in my room and watch trashy television.”
The jet setter’s favorite ingredients are chopped romaine, lettuce and mushrooms — with “probably the most non-processed dressing I can find within the refrigerated section,” she said, declaring sesame ginger as her “go-to.”
Brown previously admitted in an interview with Travel + Leisure that she likes to only “hunker down” in the various places she travels.
“Numerous times, especially whenever you’re out and about throughout the day… you don’t need to go from menu to menu or restaurant to restaurant,” she said, noting that she’s all the time searching for local amenities like delis, coffee shops and places to purchase groceries while on the go.
While some fans were quick to query her salad style, many others were in agreement with the thought of just being at home wherever you might be.
“I all the time visit grocery stores such as you — as in the event that they’re one other attraction on my list of things to see,” one traveler said.
“Recently visited a store in Croatia and just needed to laugh on the display of Oreos. Like, they’re obsessive about them!”
“Last time I used to be in NYC I used to be overwhelmed how expensive restaurants were so we grabbed ingredients at Whole Foods and ate in our room! It was the perfect,” a budget-minded Big Apple visitor shared.
Do-it-yourself in-room dining might be common amongst frequent travelers, it seems — with one creative road warrior showing off how he makes his own pizzas in hotel bathrooms.
And one travel expert even warned against using the hotel iron — which he suggested was incessantly utilized by flight crew to reheat food during their layovers.
But that’s nothing in comparison with the perils of the complimentary coffee station, apparently — one flight attendant alleged that they’ve known colleagues to make use of the ever-present pots to sterilize their unmentionables while on the go.
