10 SAVEUR.COMIn “Tripe and Truffles” (pg. 32),
our roving correspondent and fear-
less buongustaio ( he who appreciates
the pleasures of food) Adam Gollner
rates the lowly lampredotto among
the glittering highlights in the City
of Lilies.
Having eaten a few there myself,
I’d have to agree. I’m not saying
you should go to Florence only for
the sandwiches. There’s gelato,
too. “Do you see the world food
first?” s av e u r cofounder Dorothy
Kalins asked in her editor’s note in the
first issue of this magazine 23 years
ago. The answer, then as now, is: Yes,
we do. Of course, it’s not only about the
food. There’s wine, too.
The point is there’s much to be said
for getting out of town and seeking
new flavors in unlikely places. That’s
what motivated Michael Ruhlman to
follow a friend’s advice and take the
long winding drive to a seaside townin Ireland with a surprisingly robust
food scene in “The People You Meet
in Dingle” (pg. 60). It’s what Alex
Halberstadt goes looking for in the
wine bars of Tokyo (pg. 18) and why
Dylan + Jeni set off to the flatlands of
Mongolia ( pg. 13).
As the weather turns warmer and
the days get a little longer, we’re feeling
the urge to follow the lead of our writ-
ers and photographers and hit the road
in search of new experiences. Despite
everyone’s best efforts to map and con-
tain it, the world’s still big and full of
surprises. So let’s get traveling. There
are a lot of good sandwiches out there.Adam Sachs
