Here's to another year of (mis)adventures and dining experiences around the world. Last year gave me memorable insights to the international food culture of Barcelona's bistronomies, Madrid's Cuban cuisine, Peru's coca(ine) tea and Brazil's cachaca drink. While in American turf, I finally landed in Seattle's famous Pike Place Market and chowed down Portland's organic food and Boston's oysters.
