s/o Food and travel.
Seriously, two of my favorite topics. JuliD's post inspired me.
Name your favorite city based on the food you ate there alone. Both U.S. and international (if applicable).
Re: s/o Food and travel.
U.S. - San Antonio. It doesn't sound like a great foodie city, but we ate at some really great restaurants when we were there. Mexican, Italian, German, BBQ, and a burger joint. And not only was the food excellent, but the ambiance was great and the prices were reasonable. We've talked about how we'd go back there just for the food!
International : n/a. (I've only traveled to Ontario and Jamaica, and didn't eat at any great restaurants in either place.)
Most of our trips revolve around eating, so it's hard to narrow it down.
I just mentioned this in Juli's post, but domestically if we are talking about local cuisine if you will, it's New Orleans. If we are talking about a town with lots of great options where I've had some really memorable dinners it would have to be Las Vegas.
Internationally, if we are talking about one single city that had great food every time we ate, it would be Montreal. The three cities in Italy were great (Rome, Modena, Florence), but I wouldn't say that one of them stood out from the others.
US: New Orleans, without a doubt. Holy cow. EVERY SINGLE THING I ate there was incredible. I don't think it compares w/any other US city I've been to.
World: Dingle, Ireland. Ok, kind of a weird pick. But the seafood here was so fresh, ingredients in meals were simple, everything is local (they don't know how to NOT be local in Ireland) so everything I ate there was delicious. I also think this is influenced by the fact that I did a lot of my world traveling in my early 20's - when I definitely didn't appreciate/understand good food as much.None of our trips revolve around eating, so it's hard to pick one with great food. Haha.
Aruba had some fantastic restaurants. I would say that and Grand Cayman were my favorite spots for international eating (thus far.)
I loved the food in Boston, so I guess that would be my domestic pick.
We are often making restaurant reservations at the same time as hotel reservations. As soon as we pick a city, we're instantly on Yelp, deciding where we want to eat. And I wonder why I perpetually have 10 lbs to lose...
