art, music & travel.
If you ever spend some time in Philadelphia, I highly recommend starting your morning at the Philly Italian Market. Bill and I got ourselves a cappuccino at the most Italian place Ive been to in a long time, then strolled down 9th street and saw hundreds of fruit, millions of kinds of veggies, fresh fish and creepy seafood crawlers, handmade pastas and all kinds of meats. IT WAS THE BEST. If I lived in Philly, I would be a regular at this place.
I’ve been lucky enough to experience some fine dining lately…all due to my honey’s sensational love affair with food. I’ve never particularly viewed a meal as a emotion stirrer or thought provoking object as I look at art. But I can now understand the passion foodies have for the art of cooking. One place has made me reach this epiphany. Noma has been declared #1 restaurant in the world, but before the noted title, I had heard plenty of it from my man. The words ‘its the best meal I’ve ever had in my whole life’ resonate and can only imagine it equating to watching your favorite artist working on a painting…
I’ve been directed towards an excellent blog called foodsnobblog, and have been told to read this post. Mind you, I am very impatient… so I go straight to the pictures… I’ve never thought I would be comparing food to art… but these plates are worthy of such a comparison.
Do read the post. Its nice to experience this amazing day with the writer…
