A few years ago I was working in Los Angeles and some colleagues were amazed that we didn't have hibachi or sushi restaurants here so they took me to Benihana. I was a bit dubious about eating raw fish but I'll try anything so before hitting the main show and it really was a show I had my first sushi experience with warmed saki, hooked to say the least.

Whenever I travel to a country or region I try and and sample the local produce and I've rarely been disappointed, so much amazing food out there to explore.

Your highlights or lows?
 
Tony, can this be a post about thing you didn’t think you’d like, and you didn’t.

Whoever decided that a bottom dwelling mudsucker fish with whiskers tossed in lemon pepper could be considered edible and served as an expensive dish in large cities... was a genius.

Because where my roots are from, we know them as a dirty and nasty necessity to help keep the already toxic rivers they live in just a little less likely to cause flesh eating gaping wounds on accidental skin contact.

BON Appétit!

Oui. And will the monsieur be having the same thing?

Didn't think I would like calamari ended up being tricked into eating it as "onion rings" I enjoyed it.

I'm not big on sea food so I've avoided that despite it being a big thing in some of the countries I've been to, I'll give that a shot for sure
