  • Off the beaten track to say the least, Greenland is far from what comes to mind when you think Michelin-starred restaurants, but that's precisely what 30-year-old chef Poul Andrias Ziska, from Denmark's also remote Faroe Islands, has done in the hamlet of Ilimanaq, reachable only by boat and now the world's northernmost of its kind, Would you make the journey https://www.thelocal.dk/20220713/faroe-island-chef-sets-up-worlds-n...
  • 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...

  • When I lived in Miami, a number of my friends and acquaintances would head for vacations in Asheville (two couples even owned properties there), which is an oasis of blue, progressivism, and gay-friendliness in a state that despite having a Democratic governor still tilts too rightwing for my taste. But I digress - Asheville is known for its shopping, entertainment, and dining, and USA Today recently came out with a list of the town's ten best restaurants: https://www.10best.com/interests/food-travel/best-restaurants-ashev...

We'll wait and see if Thailand's attempt to fleece the tourist continues or evolves. Chef LeeZ cooking class Bangkok is T. A, #1 for over 10 consecutive years. www.chefleez.com
