What’s the

best bite

you’ve had?

THESE ARE

FLAVORS

WE CAN’T

FORGET

“One of the

desserts I ate

at Geranium in

Copenhagen—

a miniature tree

of dried prunes

with a rose

made of wood

sorrel drizzled

with pine

syrup—was like

biting into a

Scandinavian

autumn

morning.”

—E.R.

“After a long

day of skiing in

breathtaking

Jackson Hole,

Wyoming, I

enjoy dining at

the spectacular

Snake River Grill

for Nebraska

Wagyu steak,

a side of truffle

fries, and a very,

very large glass

of Bordeaux.”

—C.M.

“At a local’s

home in Puerto

Varas, Chile,

I indulged in

curanto, a

traditional dish

of shellfish,

meat, and

potatoes. I’ve

never eaten

so much!”

—E.S.

“A palm-sized

cup of canelazo

in Quito’s

amazing old

town. Sipping

the sweet, hot

drink on a cold

cobblestoned

street was the

perfect way to

celebrate a

new city with

new friends.”

—R.B.

“During my

honeymoon on

Naxos island,

I discovered

the most filling

two-euro gyros

in Greece.

Imagine the

juiciest chicken

or lamb you’ve

ever tasted,

fire-roasted,

laid on a

pillowy pita,

and topped

with all the

fixins—plus

French fries!”

—D.B.
