Eating out for me is like taking a little vacation. Reading a new menu is like taking a tour of an exotic land. I want to experience it all -- the more unique- and bizarre-sounding the better! I get such a thrill discovering some out-of-the-way culinary gem. And what good is that discovery if I can't share it? That's what I want to do here. I don't claim to be an expert, although I do fancy myself a gourmet. My parents exposed me to all kinds of food as a child and I continue to seek the new and unusual as an adult. I'm the type who wouldn't be caught DEAD at an American-style restaurant when I'm abroad. So, you'll probably notice as we embark on this eating exploration that I'm drawn to the smaller, lesser-known, most often ethnic restaurants in my area -- that offer something I can't (or won't) cook myself; AND, which promise me the best chance of being transported to ... a faraway dining experience. Hopefully my discoveries will be your discoveries!
