food trip!!!

All of the suggestions so far are wonderful, but, really, I think the best place for food would be Rome or Florence--fresh Italian food to die for!!! Very different than Italian food here--full of fresh, light sauces, seafood, delicious meats and cheeses, etc. Another option--Brussels, Belgium. Delicious food, and so many choices--from waffles to seafood to hearty meals, and great desserts, too. Vienna also has wonderful food, and of course. . .there's always Paris!

I'm from Pittsburgh, and will alway love that city and the food there... if you go there, Primanti Bros is the way to go! That and Jimmy Neids. My family is friends with Jimmy and his fish sandwich was voted second best in the country! Haha. I know I've mentioned two sandwich places... but one more: I go to school in Greensboro NC, and never heard of Jimmy Johns before here. But, it is AMAZING. I get the Vegetarian. Highly recommend it. Speaking from something other than experience though, I think the west coast would be a fantastic place to travel to get a variety of different foods in one place, if you're talking more about fine dining than the casual dining I've mentioned. Happy travels and good eats :)

I must say I enjoyed Spanish food very much when I went to Spain. Jamon Serrano is not to be missed...a very unique lunch meat and soooo tasty! It looks like dried out raw bacon, but it is amazing. Madrid had many incredible restaurants serving traditional Spanish food that goes back centuries. So many unusual foods; it is not for the faint of heart! Fried pig ears in tomato sauce? Keep an open mind!

new orleans is a great place to eat! they have so much great, local food. the cuisine there is excellent. they also have some exotic foods like gator, which i don't eat but other people might.

I love Chicago style food! They have their deep dish pizza and a unique thin crust pizza different from any other city. Another thing they are well known for is their Cheesy Beefs, known as "Chiefs", it's a large amount of thinly sliced beef on an italian toasted bun covered in cheese and different peppers. It's delicious!
