Ruth Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Travelling by Food . For example, where did you have the best “Key Lime Pie”. Ours was at the blonde giraffe in Key West (they use to ship them in the USA) unfortunately they closed . We love the food in Epcot at LeCellar (Great Steaks) in the Canadian area. cruisellama and ehw51 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisellama Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Freshly caught King Salmon in Sitka AK. Once I started having King Salmon, it makes the stuff you get in the lower 48 pretty lame.

Never. Karaage Setsuna - Seattle Washington (Karaage chicken with Setsuna fries) The Jucy Lucy burger (no, that is not a typo) at Matt's - Minneapolis (I believe it's illegal to come to Minnesota and not go there. I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure). WAAAYTOOO, Ruth, rjac and 3 others 2 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut Butter Pie from Willow Valley Resort in Lancaster, PA. Sweet crepes from literally every street vendor in Paris. ehw51, Ogilthorpe and Ruth 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWong Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Best xiaolongbao (soup filled dumplings) - Asian Legend here in Toronto. I know Din Tai Fung has the pedigree, and I've never been able to make it over to the HK location with the Michelin Star, but the one I tried in the Arcadia, CA location wasn't as good. Best street tacos - 100% Taquito in Houston. Being that it's off the Southwest Freeway it's a little out of the way for anyone heading from IAH to Galveston, but the food has some great flavour, to the point where I don't even mind the cilantro (and I HATE cilantro). Best pho - Well, it WAS Lac Viet Bistro in Orlando. But they've closed down and now I gotta figure out a new "best" place. Their pho was really flavourful without tasting too salty. It was a go to for us whenever we went to visit The Mouse. I will give a shout out to Saigon Noodle though. They got some shine on DDD a while back, and it's certainly deserved. Smoked Meat - I keep trying to think of a place I liked better than Schwartz in Montreal, because that's almost a copout statement. And yet, it's really good stuff.

Baked Alaska Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 In Gornergrat (Zermatt), Switzerland on the way up via train to get a great view of the Matterhorn. It was some sort of lamb curry.

JLMoran Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Pane E Vino in New Brunswick. Picked the place at random after my daughter finished a performance there with the chorus she was in during high school. Expensive place, didn't realize until after we'd been seated but I just figured, "YOLO!" Man, was it worth it! Daughter and I agreed it was the best meal we'd ever had, can't say it's been topped yet. Big Tule, WAAAYTOOO, KWong and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting this. I am hoping that they will let us do that, namely walk off the ship and head over to Red Fish Blue Fish. Given the time of day Quantum gets into port, DS and his buddy could go on their fishing excursion and DH and I can go eat fish at RFBF! I've just put it on my CP calendar!

Daughter and I agreed it was the best meal we'd ever had, can't say it's been topped yet. I think some of the best (also worst) experiences have come from randomly going "hey let's try this place." We've found places such as Pho Xyclo in Niagara Falls, a street festival in Sand City, CA, and Pie in Barrie, ON. But we've also found some pretty meh places like some pub in Stratford-upon-Avon and a paella place in Barcelona. No regrets though - nothing ventured, nothing gained.
