Dining out gives us the opportunity to get to know local food and the people making it . A chef or restaurant owner you chat with during a meal can enhance your appreciation of a region . Sometimes that interaction will be wrapped in an entertaining story about the provenance of a particular ingredient . Other times a tableside exchange reveals a little secret about a signature recipe . And sometimes an innocent conversation with a fellow foodster can lead to an adventure that incorporates nature , culture and a whole lot of fun .
Ciao ! recognizes culinary tourists are explorers and just like cuisine offers a potential discovery with every meal , we aim to enrich your food memories by helping you explore some of the region ’ s stunning locations . A scenic road trip from the city connects you to fields , forests , lakes and marshlands and ciao ! travels has the scoop on destinations that epitomize this diverse geography .
Join us as we go inthekitchen with chef Edward Lam and chef Jil Osias at Saburo Kitchen for a look at how fermentation is being rediscovered as a preservation technique and culinary tool . Chef Edward reminisces about his rocky start to cooking and chef Jil shares tips on what is in the works .

Each location combines the essential elements to a great dining experience – an exquisite setting and marvelous food . Look for more options in the best list . Every restaurant on the list has been visited and has made the cut .
