Do you read menu items out loud?
I've usually researched and picked out what I'm eating, as well as what my husband is eating WAY before we sit down at the restaurant. He hates making food decisions and we share our food anyway! FoodWhores.com

How about some good old Arby's "Horsey" sauce? I used to love dipping my fries (and potato cakes) into Horsey sauce.
You can make it at home:
1 cup of Mayo
3 tablespoons of bottled horseraddish cream sauce
1 tablespoon or Sugar
Jamie Oliver for sure. I've been working through his "Jamie at Home" cookbook every weekend (it airs Saturday mornings). His enthusiasm is infectious and the food has been terrific!
@chiff -- I have given up the rest of my vices, which leaves eating and drinking. When DH and I travel, we make the rezzies first and then book the travel!
@iza - I do love Maine . . . DH has never been, but it was my family's summer vacation for years. I dream about the Edward's fried claims . . . seriously, we would drive about an hour each way from our summer place just to eat dinner. Two orders of fried claims each!
@mizbee "No particular order" ~ Move Maine to the top of your list! You won't regret it.
Honestly if I could I would love to travel to all the greenmarkets an farmstands an open markets in the States an all over the World!!!! Anybody want to go?
I just backpacked through the amalfi coast and Rome tasting amazing food and I lived in Paris but I would definitely do the French Countryside, Tuscany, Sicily, a bbq tasting across America and every hot pizza spot in America.
Mizbee - love your list. More like a 55 Gallon Drum list than a bucket list!
In the States, French Laundry is at the top of the list, followed by a visit to Blackberry Farm. I'd also like to be able to taste the best sausage, peppers and onion hero (with ricotta cheese).
Then, definitely a wine and cheese tour of France. And a gelato tasting throughout Italy.
In addition to partaking of some of the culinary nirvanas listed above, I intend to make my first parachute jump this year. For 30 years I've wanted to experience this magical moment, and I'm finally going to add this accomplishment to my list. I learned how to fly a Piper Cherokee a long time ago, and now I want to experience "free flight" as well. Crazy? For some maybe. After all, my mother still wants to know why I'd like to jump out of a perfectly good airplane!

First, a trip through Japan, from the cities to the country and everywhere in between. Second, a culinary tour of the Silk Road, so I can taste firsthand the ways that the different foods melded together over time and space. Finally, a tour of Africa to eat all of the foods there from the north to the South.
