10 BEST PLACES TO TRAVEL IF YOU LOVE FOOD The experience around food is what makes a particular meal, dish, or destination unique and able to stand out above all others. It’s about the best place, the time, and the people and “the best meal” can be found in a fine dining restaurant or in a crowded street market. If you’ve ever heard the expression, “Food doesn’t travel well,” it’s true.

How can you recreate that special moment influenced by best place and time and have it be as memorable for someone else as it was for you?

With our current food obsessed culture, culinary travel is becoming the most popular reason to visit many places around the world. While we travel great distances to enjoy unique food, wine, and spirits, it is also important to be educated about the region and its people, learn about the history and architecture, and have time to take in the scenery and the surroundings. Those things have as much impact on the food experience as does the food itself.
