In Universal Soldier, Jean Claude Van Damme has just recently been regenerated and is at a diner. He's hungry, and the heroine of the film orders him some food. He eats and eats, and because it's a JCVD movie, some people in the diner don't take to kindly to him, so they decide they'd rather kick his a**. However, JCVD, between bites of food, manhandles the angry patrons with effective kicks and punches. He pleads with the mob, says, "I just want to eat." They don't listen, so that's why they end up on the ground with broken bones.

Awesome.

Taqueria Veracruzana on 908 Washington Ave, on the outskirts of the italian market. Amazing, cheap tacos

Belgian Cafe, on Green St, for great beer. Must try the sweet potato hummus.

Ginger - Awesome tapa's place in the gothic quarter. Probably the best pollo arroz I've ever had.

For cheese, check out Fromatgeria La Seu. Owned by a very friendly Scottish woman, she's very helpful and gives you great food rec's.

Also, for a quick bite, head to Cafe Viena on Las Rambla for the sandwich voted by Mark Bittman as best in the world.

Kung Fu Girl Riesling! Awesome.

Try for the Southern part of India, such as Kerala. Totally different experience from what you would imagine India to be like.

If that's too expensive, I second Lisbon. It's my favorite European city. Ginja and roasted chicken from Bon Jardim is my ultimate last meal.

L'Express has one of the best fries I ever had, and the mayo sauce they serve is out of this world.

Kithchen Galerie has two amazing things about it: 1) The chefs/waiters/sommeliers. The small team does everything and are very friendly and helpful. They really make sure you enjoy your time there. 2) Using local ingredients from teh nearby market. That way, the menu changes daily and you get the freshest ingredients.

I'd start with L'Express as my first restaurant I go to in Montreal for a nice lunch. Then for dinner, head to Kitchen Galerie.

Kitchen Gallery by the main Market. It's run by 2 chefs who do all the cooking, waiting, etc. The menu changes daily, based on what they find at the market. Also, I highly reccomend Pinxto, probably one of the best tapas restaurants I have ever been to. Anywhere. Boris Bistro near Old Towne has a great al fresco dining area. Best fries were had at L'Express, a classic French bistro.

I went to Lisbon last year and had the best chicken @ BonJardim restaurant. It's roasted on a spit fire, and its served with a hot chilli oil called piri-piri. Amazing. The chicken was so juicy, the skin was very crispy, and to have it with a cold glass of Super Bock beer, nothing in this world is better.

Is it a recipe if you eat the anchovy straight from the can?? It's pretty salty, but nonetheless, good eats! And, Omega-3's, so that helps my hear....

The cookbook of life is what has inspired me. I don't usually refer to cookbooks. I'll make up dishes as I go. Some with success and others end up unsuccessful.

This may sound strange, but I ate tomato paste straight from the can last night. Just added a dash of olive oil. It was pretty tasty.

I say start at the top of Central Park or in Harlem and walk your way all the way down the west side then make your way back up via the east side.

On your journey, stop at whatever stores and eateries you find pleasing. Blog about your findings, take pics, and I guarentee you'll have an amazing experience.

Yeah, the lady who won season 3 of TNFNS dissappeared into oblivion. I saw one episode and then nothing. Did she quit? Did the network realize she wasn't that good? I see that they are trying to have Aaron McCargo more in focus and in more shows, but I could see him fading too.

If FN produced more shows of Good Eats, Barefoot, and Everyday Italian, we'd be in a better place. Though Throwdown is a fun show.
