I travel for the Food

Just Back From: Bordeaux, France

BORDEAUX, France – If you're one of the world's best chefs, where do you go in France? Daniel Boulud shares his little black book of red wine secrets.

Fathom Questionnaire: Daniel Boulud

I always bring home weird food stuffs or local food specialties. I share them with my chefs for inspiration. Like folded, dried octopus from Tunisia and dried pig bladder from Lyon.

Paris in a Pita

PARIS, France – There's more to Paris than coffee and croissants, fine wines and soufflés. You simply must make room for falafel.

The Perils of Shopping Le Bon Marché

PARIS, France – Some people like to shop for clothes. Not Melanie Dunea. She's after the goat cheese and saucisson. Adventures of a shopping spree.

Coming in for The Landing

HARBOUR ISLAND, Bahamas – It's all about superb simplicity, laid-back atmosphere, and a slight British vibe. If I’ve undersold my love, let me be clear: This would be my Death Row meal.

Food Highs Down Under

NEW ZEALAND – Dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and small farms selling fresh goat cheese and alpaca sweaters, Waiheke might just be heaven on earth. The robust red wines and spicy green olive oil bring to mind a mini-Tuscany — only with beaches.

Farm Fresh in Bondi Beach

BONDI BEACH, AUSTRALIA – The vibe is laid-back — surfer meets farmer Zen. The best part of my meal was an emerald soup with a fat oyster in the bowl like a crackerjack toy.
