#80: The Flavor of the Month (Friday, July 11)

It's no secret how much I love to eat and travel to new places. Alas, I don't have the budget (or the vacation time) to do as much of the latter as I like, so I came up with a wonderful compromise.

The Idea: Try a different cuisine every month. There are hundreds of countries in the world, each with their own special seasonings and sauces, why not try them all?

The Cost: The price of the meal.

The Benefit: You're enriching your palate, learning about the other cultures (which I spoke about on a Good Friday last year) and hopefully getting some culinary inspiration.

Testimonial: First Flavor of the month? German, in honor of my late dear Uncle Pete. Zum Schneider's in LES is the place of choice and I'll be going next week. If you are in NY and want to go, just shoot me an email!
