That alone deserves a medal. The food was authentically Portuguese, not watered down or touristy. Every stop had meaning... tradition, history, culture, and flavor all woven together effortlessly. From incredible bites to perfectly timed drinks, everything felt intentional and personal. What truly set Fred apart was ...”
