Parts Unkown

[Divemaster]

Around every corner there is a critic. I have been a fan of Anthony Bourdain's shows prior to CNN. I remain a fan now. Well produced and enjoyable. I like the vibe and the pace. If the QPs pause for a moment, he's doing what we've always done but only with a camera crew and a food focus.

If you can't follow in his well prepared and researched footsteps, perhaps you will be inspired to forge your own path.

When you do, report back here. If you already have, recount your adventures.

My own minor contribution:

I recall a special meal in Venice. I don't remember the exact place. It was a tiny, oh perhaps a four table place on a side path with great doors and shuttered windows along the way. My blue Irish eyes gazing in wonder as my Sicilian wife's large and knowing brown eyes ordered. She's totally American but knows her way around an Italian menu.

The tiny, confined Venetian space. The antipasti. The precious moments with my soul mate. A precious travel memory.

And yours?
