EP17: Malta. In the middle of the Mediterranean is the tiny nation of Malta, a place that packs a big foodie wallop with dishes like Pastizza, Ftira, Timpana, and a liqueur made from Prickly Pears. Plus, we talk with Malta based Sasha Shumara about living the good life in Malta and sharing her experiences on YouTube.
EP16 Jason Ringenberg of the legendary Jason and the Scorchers talks about opening for the Ramones, being an Artist in Residence at the Sequoia National Park and his favorite Nashville restaurant on this week's podcast.
EP15: Kevin Russell of Shinyribs talks Boudin, Okra Chips, a restaurant called Donut Taco Palace, and playing with the legendary Doug Sahm.
EP14: We visit a secluded beach restaurant, learn about the famous Amalfi lemons used in limoncello, and talk with Kathy McCabe host of TV's Dream of Italy about her favorite spots on Italy's most famous waterfront.
EP13: In Wellington, New Zealand we discover a local shellfish, Malaysian street food, and visit a bar named for a felony. Plus we talk with restaurateur and executive chef Asher Boote about his famous Wellington restaurants and foraging for ingredients in the countryside with his dogs.
Tacos, BBQ, live music, and enough weird to keep you entertained. This week we're in the Live Music Capital of the World, Austin, Texas.
EP11: The Sherry Triangle of Spain has sherry, of course, but also features some of the world's best tapas restaurants, beautiful Atlantic Ocean beaches, and stirring Flamenco performances.
EP10: Liverpool has plenty of Beatle sites, but it's also famous for pirates, rum, and a soup that kept British sailors' stomachs full.
Ep9: Las Vegas is famous for casinos and mobsters and there's still a few places where you can capture the glitz and glamour of old Las Vegas, but it's not on The Strip. Instead, we're heading to revitalized Downtown Las Vegas where you can still drop a quarter in a classic slot machine and get the best Thai food outside of Bangkok.
Ep8: Auckland is the called the City of Sails so we spend some time on the water traveling to a wine island and then enjoy a dessert named after a ballerina. Plus, we visit the Hobbits!
Rome is at the top of many foodie bucket lists for good reason. But, the best dishes in The Eternal City might be the most simple. Like a pasta dish made from only four ingredients. And a Jewish cake that was outlawed by the Pope.
EP6: The foodie capital of France isn't Paris, it's Lyon where traditional bouchon restaurants compete with French nouveau eateries. Then, we'll pay a visit to The Little Prince and a Little Eiffel Tower.
EP5: In New Orleans we have a French donut, coffee popularized in France, and drink a French 75. But it's not all about France because a famous sandwich from Sicily is still made in The Big Easy
EP4: An active volcano looms over Sicily's second city of Catania where the locals eat a volcano shaped snack, dine on a pasta named after an opera and enjoy a dessert shaped like the breast of a martyred saint. And don't forget to wear your red underwear on New Year's Eve!
EP3 We visit the famous Christmas markets and sip some Glühwein, eat amazing street food with international roots, and check out some edgy street art.
We get away from winter on the mainland for a tropical foodie adventure in Honolulu, Hawaii. Native grown chocolate, two ways to eat taro, and the best wine bar in Hawaii this week on Destination Eat Drink.
