Fine Dining Around The World

From $1 pad thai on the streets of Bangkok to fresh sashimi on Tahiti and $25 foie gras-topped duck in Bordeaux.  I could be spoiled for life.  I know I will never think of Sweet and Sour Chicken in the USA as Chinese food again!  This is not an easy post for me, but here are a few of my favorite meals from around the world.
