My wife and I love to pick our travel destinations based on restaurants. We truly believe that happiness comes from having memorable experiences in life rather than acquiring material things. What better way to make these experiences last than documenting them on our blog, and hopefully inspiring people along the way to do the same.
We wanted to document our experiences from the perspective of a couple who writes about the emotional response that come from eating at these fine restaurants, not from the perspective of a chef, a food critic, or a restaurant scout. We purely wanted the passion for the experience to come across in the blog, almost from a layman’s perspective.
This is why we took the play on words and mixed the word Panson (Spanish for big bellied one) and fused it with Pasion (Spanish for passion) and turned it into a team endeavor, with the term Los (describing the two of us) and -istas (suffix for one who follows a principle or system of belief). So there you have it, Los Pansionistas!

Not including Japan, we‘ve eaten over 100 Michelin starred meals, some of which I am probably forgetting or have closed since. We‘ve been to Providence at least 12 times. Animal and Red Medicine were pretty frequent too.
