Well here we are again. New Years Eve is just around the corner and its time to reflect on the past year and look forward to a new one. This New Year’s is even more special as it welcomes in a new decade. It’s hard to believe that it is already 2010. I remember being a kid thinking about how far off 2010 would be and what crazy modern technology we would have by now. With a blink of an eye however 2010 is upon us and 2009 is out the door. Looking back, 2009 could be considered the year of the foodie. With the release of Julie & Julia, a whole new wave of foodies have taken over the net and are sharing their own personal foodie experiences. Julia Child has been resurrected and pushed to the forefront. She is now gaining popularity with a whole new audience. More importantly however, is what foodie experiences have you had this past year? What places do you remember? What people shared the experiences with you? This year we traveled to Hawaii, so some of our favorite memories were from there. Eating Ahi Tuna and eggs, with a side of coconut pancakes, after having just climbed Diamond Head was a great experience. We also ate garlic shrimp from a truck on the North Shore while chickens ran about. How about that first experience of lau lau pork and poi at Ono foods in Honolulu? This year also took us back to Las Vegas. Michael Mina’s Stripsteak with incredible steaks and the best fries (fried in duck fat) on the planet! Not to forget lunch at Mario Batali’s Enoteca San Marco or a late night meal at the Peppermill. With all the great restaurants in Vegas somehow we still always make it back to the Pink Taco at Hard Rock for lunch. Of course many great foodie experiences were had in other places as well, too many to mention here. Remember being a foodie is not just about good food. It’s about shared experiences with friends and the people you love. It’s about travel and culture. It’s about having a good time and enjoying yourself. So enjoy yourself this New Year’s Eve! Get your champagne bottles ready and thank you for joining me this past year on the journey to finding your inner foodie!
