Head to Seoul!

By Andrew Zimmern on April 21, 2009 9:00 PM | Permalink | 30 Comments

Korea ... torn between the tug of modernity and the tidal pull of their own traditionalism. Royal palaces and tombs still dot the city, traditional cultural performances and festivals are everywhere. And so are the Apple stores. Korea is a mind blower. Like Tokyo, Seoul is one of the most hoppin' happenin' cities in the world and without a doubt the most underrated food city in the world. Paris, Tokyo, NYC, San Fran, Sydney ... they get all the publicity, but Seoul is the real deal, too.

Ahhh, Sicily

Sicily was beyond being the bomb. We had more fun, ate better, laughed longer and enjoyed ourselves more on this trip than on any other in recent memory. Arriving in Palermo is a gas, the stunning blue sea, the cream colored cliffs and bobbing boats look almost as good from the air as they do up close and personal. We checked into our hotel and got down to some serious eating.
