Post-run breakfast, Osaka-style. (at Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel)

Ten days in Japan and this is my first bowl of ramen? I don’t understand. But I’m happy! (at ストライク軒)

This is Kazu, and he runs the best bar in the world. It's called Seven Isles, it's all about whiskey, and it's open just three hours a night, from 10pm till 1am. Dude rocks. If you're in Wajima (which you should be, even if it's pretty much the end of the world), you should come drink here. Seriously. (at セブンアイルズ)

Just "hangin' out" at the Wajima morning market. Hahahhahhahahhahhahahhahahhahahahhahahabhahahahhahahahahahahahaa. Hilarious. (at 輪島朝市)

Guys! I found all the tomatoes! (at Grand Army Plaza)

My cover story in the October issue of @runnersworldmag, on stands (and runnersworld.com) today! It's all about the rise of urban running crews: @residentrunners @unnamedruncrew @runwildcle @ghettoruncrew @the504th @blacklistla (at Runner's World HQ)

Yes, this is a medal from the 2016 Pyongyang Marathon—as in the capital of North Korea—and it's the coolest welcome gift ever, from my new colleagues @runnersworldmag. Apparently, @kitfox6 has a whole bag of them. Very mysterious... #nikesnotnukes (at Runner's World HQ)

I don't normally condone the consumption of nonalcoholic drinks while working, but I guess when you're writing about @seedlipdrinks it's okay, just this once. (at Boerum Hill Historic District)

Hot, sour, and just my style: Yunnan noodles at Deng Ji. (at Division Street (Manhattan))

If you love spaghetti so much, why don't you marinara it? (at Boerum Hill)

So, uh, we got a new grill. A combo grill-smoker from @yodersmokers that weighs 900+ pounds and can cook for 75 people. Photo by @jeanliujeanliu; muscle by @drinkeatlove. (at Boerum Hill Historic District)

Now this is a tag I can get behind. #graffiti (at 台灣自釀啤酒專賣 - The 58 Bar)

Never been a big abalone fan, but these juicy little guys—stir-fried with pork and basil—may have changed my mind (and my life). (at 花蓮新社部落)

Across Taiwan, millions of people are having this exact lunch: 滷肉飯，空心菜, and Taiwan beer. Today, I am one of them. (at 東興野菜牛肉麵)

I'm in Yuli, so it's time for Yuli noodles! Chicken broth, sliced pork, sheaves and sheaves of chives. Mm! Also, a surprisingly light bawan (肉圆). (at 肉丸嫂 玉里麵)

How to begin a 200km bike trip: with lovely little set meals (and fresh pineapple juice) at a ramshackle little seaside restaurant. (at 台東綠房子)

I know it's a controversial opinion, but I believe all farmers' markets should sell awesome pork-and-chive dumplings with especially fiery dipping sauce. #sorrynotsorry (at 台北希望廣場)
