Travels

Wish List.

sometimes i get into these moods when I just want to plan and wish and dream.

i'm happy where I am and it isn't necessarily restlessness, but i am wishing for my dream food vacation.

Stop # 1: New York. of course. because it's almost the center of all things delicious about food.

Foodie Love: Mesa Grill on 5th Avenue. yes, it's Bobby Flay and I don't even care how "Food Network #1 Fan" that makes me. well, i care a little but i still want to go there. i would very much like to try his Chile Relleno.

Foodie Love: A Salt and Battery on Greenwich Avenue. i've heard amazing things about this fish and chips place.

Foodie Love: Wafles & Dinges moving truck. one, i love waffles. seriously, my mom broke our waffle iron as a child and i've craved them ever since. two, this guy was incredibly funny on the food network. and three, he quit his day job to drive a wafle truck so i like him.

Stop # 2: Chicago.

Foodie Love: Superdawg on Milwaukee Ave. Larger than life mr. and mrs. hot dogs, yes please! Piling condiments of all sorts on a hot dog, delicious!

Foodie Love: Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. okay well actually i'm a sucker for a thin new york style but i'm trying new things here. This tour looks like the best way for me to get acquainted with the pizza :)

Stop # 3: Seattle.

Foodie Love: Starbucks in downtown. don't judge me. it's like a pilgrimage to mecca.

Foodie Love: Lola. oh man, fried donuts. Giada De Laurentiis talks about food and it makes me want to eat.

Stop # 4: Atlanta.

Foodie Love: Woodfire Grill on Cheshire Bridge Rd. i liked Kevin a lot during Top Chef. plus i like his opinions about food and organics and sustainability.

Foodie Love: The Varsity. well i don't want to go here any more than i want to eat deep dish pizza but Chris does. and i guess i'll compromise.

sigh. that's a lot of dreaming and pretend eating for one night.
