Ahh, for the days of being able to tuck into the carbs with abandon…
I'm not nearly as well traveled as some, but a few memories for me:
Boston - Little Italy made me a very happy visitor. I selected several random places, and enjoyed them all. Also had some wonderful Indian there!
New York - hmm, my memories are mostly of museums, and not food. There was a fun place, the 24-Hour Diner, and I recall a random bar I stopped in had interesting looking vats of fruit infused vodka. My local guide was not a big foodie, however.
D.C. - another location where the food didn't make a big impression, but I wasn't doing fine dining at the time I was there…
Vancouver, B.C. - Dim Sum, have enjoyed several places there. Lots of good East Indian as well. I recall dining at Le Crocidile with my father, Diva at the Met with some friends, Budapest for some wonderful poppyseed laced desserts, and the "chocolate bard" bars at Bard on the Beach. Memphis Blues BBQ wasn't bad, either.
Toronto - Alas, my poor memory fails to recall the specific places, although I do remember getting some good Indian. Also, the number of Tim Horton's was frightening.
Puerto Vallarta in Mexico - I recall consuming many cervezas and much tequila. But the seafood was terrific, and have great memories of a pot luck, where we went shopping for food during the day.
London - I ate a lot of pub food there, but it was post diabetes, so no bangers and mash for me. I dearly wanted to try some eel, being a fan of eel in sushi, and am very curious to try it in other preparations. Alas, I somehow missed it. Had a wonderful Xmas dinner with local friends. Of course sampled much of the local beer, and enjoyed the bloody marys at the Grenadier. Also had an excellent sazerac at my friends club, Milk and Honey.
Victoria, B.C. - this was my "flavor of England" before actually making it there, and where I honeymooned. I think of high tea, and a British themed pub that we would go get "toad in the hole" at. Used to love to stay at the Olde England Inn - wonderfully cheesy and fun. Alas, they went out of business.
Seattle - it's my home town, so I tend to think if it in terms of finding new choices. But salmon is wonderful and available.
Hmm, I guess I've gotten around a bit.
