Below is a list (organized by country, and then city) of the restaurants and food shops I’ve blogged about since September 2006. The resto names are hyperlinked to the blog post where I described Jon and my visits in detail. The list is up to date as of February 2011. I realize there’s a lot more I could do besides just list and hyperlink, but it’s a start at something that might be helpful for travelers who love to eat good food.

Hi there. I am a huge fan of your blog. I found it during my first home sick weeks in London last summer and it gave me comfort to both read and try out your recs.
Speaking of recs, I’ve heard you mention you are really into accupuncture right now. I haven’t found a good person in London and I was hoping you’d let me know who you are seeing.
Thanks in advance and for all the great posts!!

Hi Tiffany, I’m so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed reading my blog (and that it even helped you adjust to your move here). I hope you’re loving London now as much as I do.
Sadly, I’m not into acupuncture, so I can’t help you out with any recs, but maybe other readers will weigh in?
Love your blog! Here’s a few more you should try in:
San Sebastian,

and London

Great Blog. You should come to Vancouver Canada sometime.
Allen – Vancouver – I’d love to. I should have visited when I lived in the U.S. and would go to Seattle to visit friends there. But yes, I’ll make it there someday. I just clicked to your blog and am fascinated that you took your first overseas trip a year ago and are now planning to travel abroad for a year. Good luck!
Thanks. It will be quite the adventure!

Hi there. I randomly found your blog by searching for wordpress London and you’ve ranked 2nd in the search results. I’ve had a quick look around your site and like what I see.
Planet Hollywood (I think it has a lot of history at that one in London) London – Coventry Street between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, then there is the Slug & Lettuce (better food than the name makes it out to have). The Orleans (Louisiana style barbecue) really good.
Restaurant Reviews – I appreciate that everyone has different taste in food but don’t understand why you would recommend someone goes to London to eat Planet Hollywood -are you being ironic?
