When I was a student at Georgetown University and on all my subsequent visits to Washington DC I loved trying all the different ethnic restaurants in a city full of embassies and immigrants. And this piece about the recent DC food festival New Kitchens on the Block included several interesting-sounding newbies - perhaps the most intriguing being "Thai-Italian fusion" lol: https://www.axios.com/local/washington-dc/2023/05/22/new-kitchens-o...

And now comes the world's first kosher restaurant with a Michelin star, in the Eixample near Diagonal, and this article in the Times of Israel also discusses the city's recent campaigns targeting Jewish and Israeli visitors, called “Shalom Barcelona” and “Barcelona Connects Israel.” Oy! https://www.timesofisrael.com/hungry-for-jewish-tourism-barcelona-g...

I remember being quite impressed by several high-end restaurants I sampled on my last visit to Toronto, and now comes news that the city is home to all 13 of Canada's very first restaurants to receive Michelin stars (and one, a Japanese, received two). Some have criticized the selection for lack of diversity - apart from Japanese, all the rest are Euro-centric when there are dozens of ethnicities culinarily represented here - but still, it's really stirring the pot! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62894286

New Orleans is of course known for its eating, and recently a travel writer wrote up an interesting handful of dining experiences on Salon, a site not usually known for its travel nor foodie coverage. Yeah, Brennan's is here, of course, but there are at least a couple that suprised me: https://www.salon.com/2022/06/25/a-travel-writers-guide-to-eating-n...
