Some of my greatest moments have been with family and friends at the dinner table. As I celebrate with all that life has to offer, I want to pay homage to the wonderful food and drinks that help make these moments full. This is a posting of some of my favorite cuisine, restaurants, cafes, coffee, wine, and spirits from around the world. I hope you enjoy!
Some of the best pizza I’ve had was in Palermo, Sicily in southern Italy. They really know how to make a delicious, thin, flavorful crust.

La Palisse Hotel in the Bugesera region of Rwanda has delicious food at a very reasonable price. The Filet De Beautè (excuse my French) was very tasty and went well with the Mützig Rwandese beer. This hotel is another great tourist destination, located on the edge of Lake Rumira.

The food at the Serena Hotel in Kampala, Uganda is delicious. They also have Nero d’Avola, my favorite Sicilian wine. Buon appetito. Cent’anni.

I love the food in Instanbul, Turkey. Kebapci Murat is located in the Topkapi area of the city. This ground lamb was seasoned with exotic herbs and spices.

This meal in Palermo, Sicily was one of the best I have ever eaten- Saffron risotto with pistachios and shrimp. It was seductive and alluring with exotic flavors. The Sicilian cuisine is amazing.

Delicious Ethiopian food at my place in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.

Excellent seafood pasta at Trattoria da Enzo in Palermo, Sicilia.
