What Food would you Travel For

If you were given a year off to research a food you like, and unlimited mileage on a rental car, what food would you research? Where would you research?
I would research cups of coffee in the US, probably head more towards cafes than diners, but definitely find the perfect cup of coffee. I'd use American Scenic bways http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/ as my travel line to start along the East Coast of the U.S, and then head west.
Actually, probably cappuccinos.

There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
There is nothing quite like a ripe mango.
2nd choice would be wine. Starting here in VA, the traveling to NY before heading west to Washington, Oregon and Cali.
Japanese food in Japan
best in the world IMHO
Maybe salads? Yeah.
run from place to place=p
i would have to agree with the BBQ choice... 9/10 times i prefer even a basic quality BBQ sauce to ketchup. might even be 10/10 times preferred. finding amazing BBQ meals around the country would just be awesome...
Living in the South, you won't have to travel very far!

That is SO true. Went to Hawaii in 2006, and the first morning I ordered a breakfast plate of eggs, pancakes, and fresh mango and pineapple...
The mango was without a doubt, the best thing on the plate.

I "Double Double (w/ Cheese)" In-N-Out!!!
idk if i can pick just one. there are certain foods that i always try, whether at new restaurants close to home or when traveling. in no particular order:
margherita pizza
arrabbiata sauce
french onion soup
fajitas
oh and bagels!
and buffalo wings!
gawd...it's too difficult to choose!
these are all foods i get again and again, and love....and tht i have tried each in countless restaurants. hmmmm...if i *had* to pick one, i guess i;d go with the margherita pizza. man, i love all those foods but i may love pizza just a wee bit more.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
I would also love to tour all the great tapas bars of Spain
Do they have those fuckers in Philly????
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Oh man, I would kill to be able to have a Double-Double for lunch today. You West coast people are so lucky. I've seriously had dreams about In-N-Out. It's the best.
No Jack in the Boxes here. We just got out first Sonic in the area.
Though I can't wait for some Chicago style pizza on Saturday.

who's the guy that gets to tour the world trying different foods/cuisines, everywhere? anthony bourdain (sp)? no reservations....? is that the show? that man has a kick-ass job! food and wine and travel. lucky!
a culinary tour of different regions and/or countires would be uber-cool.
also would need to tour all the gyms/fitness clubs of said regions simultaneously.... :shock:
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
I was actually thinking of setting up a company that does exactly that-culinary based tours.
man that would be awesome!
let me know, i'll be your first employee.
idk how i ever saw that show, b/c i think it is on cable premium channels we don't get? or is it on the food network? i'll have to look it up again, b/c indeed...that show is kick-ass.
Let's just breathe...

Bourdain is on the travel channel (tuesdays at 10 I think), along with Andrew Zimmerman who also has a great show called bizarre foods.
cool!
aha. i think when we first got verizon cable, perhaps we got a free trial period of all the premium channels, or some of em, thus how we saw the show. i don't think we get the travel channel. i'll definitely check again tho. i forgot about that show until this thread reminded me of it.
travel + food + wine + pearl jam = BLISS.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
and I would add friends or lovers to that list!
Wish you were here...
