So..I was having coffee with a friend this morning and we got to talking about places that we would travel to just for food. We are in the serious foodie zone here. I recall on a trip trip to San Francisco some years before I moved to CA, I had the revelation that I would come back just to sample more of the phenomenal food scene. While one part of my brain ruled out the concept as frivolous, another part of my brain was totally down for the adventure.
Over the years I have had similar thoughts about different cities and towns along the way. So while my buddy and I were chatting about great food cities this morning, it occurred to me that I have in fact planned trips around a great food scene. I've also been really fortunate to have quick access to one of my favorite food regions, California wine country. Napa and Sonoma Valley's are host to some of the most amazing examples of good food that I have ever experienced.
So I am now inclined to ask all of you a few questions about your foodie adventures:
#1 Is there a city or town that stands out for you as having a great food scene?
#2. What makes a location a great food scene for you?
#3. Where would you like to travel to, to experience the local foods?
#4. What dish or meal stands out as something that you would travel for again?
I hope that you all are having a fabulous Saturday. |
#1-New Orleans; Beijing, China; Toronto, Canada.
#2-Good people, good conversation, dancing, music
#3-Mongolia. I mean, real Mongolia, not this Genghis Grill stuff. Hot pot surrounded by steppe and sleeping in a yurt. Had this in Beijing, but nothing beats authenticity.
#4-Beignets and a muffaletta sandwich, French Quarter.
