Looking for Food In the Mountains, In the Meadows

It has been quiet on our food tour as of late, and apologies for that. We are taking some time to enjoy the Rockies and rough it a bit in the great outdoors. This means very little (if any) Internet access through the end of August, so posting will be light. But we still need your help on finding the country's culinary best along the way. read more

Searching for a Heavenly Roast Pork in Philly

POLL: One Night Only (Boston Edition)

What to eat in Boston? The smoked beef tongue at The Hungry Mother is tempting, as is the "Hot Dog a la Maison" at The Butcher Shop.

First Stop: Montreal

I've long wanted to go to Montreal. I've admired from afar the playful work (and groundbreaking "cookbook") of the city's unabashed ambassador, chef Martin Picard, and his bistro Au Pied de Cochon, which will be a mandatory stop on our American (and Canadian!) Food Tour.

I also hear this city has bagels that make New York nervous, bustling markets, and numerous cheese shops to lose oneself in.

And here's where you come in...read more
