Calabria, Italy - Lydia Bastianić

When it comes to Italy, Calabria rarely appears as one of the main culinary destinations, but the chef Lydia Bastianić strongly recommends visiting the "sock" of the Italian boot to get an unforgettable culinary experience. The region of Calabria is known for its peperonchino and pasty-like pork salumi, which can be eaten in combination with fried cheese kachiokavallo. In Banyar you can taste delicious Parmigiano, which includes a swordfish. Risotto with the addition of local licorice is unexpectedly tasty, and you can finish the meal with licorice ice cream. Calabria is also a region in which you can find a large number of little-known varieties of wine.

Vancouver, Canada - Jamie Bissonnette

Montreal is not the only culinary destination in Canada. For example, next time you can go to Vancouver. Here you will find incredibly delicious ethnic Asian food, but also there are plenty of excellent dishes of French-Canadian cuisine. All this is complemented by the fact that people here are very friendly. Be sure to visit the most famous bakery in Vancouver, where bake bright cakes that shine with glaze so much that you can see their reflection in them.

Copenhagen, Denmark - Michael Chernov

All gourmets know that Copenhagen is one of the most popular European destinations for those who want to try an incredibly expensive and refined cuisine. The gastronomic heart of this city, of course, is the world-famous restaurant "Noma", but not all culinary life unfolds only there. However, before the appearance of "Noma" Denmark was not a popular culinary destination, although the food there is very tasty, satisfying and unique. If you have never been to Denmark for Christmas, then you miss a lot. If you can not afford an establishment with two Michelin stars, like "Noma", you can just buy yourself incredibly stylish waffles on a stick.

Minneapolis, USA - Alex Guarnaskelli

When it comes to culinary destinations in the US, Minneapolis never gets to the top of the ratings. However, it turns out that very much in vain. Guarnaskelli loves American food, and she believes that Minneapolis is a great place to go to enjoy incredible dishes. She claims that Minneapolis is the second Charleston. And while you are visiting this city, you should definitely look into T-Rex to try the iconic 2.5-kilogram cookie.

Las Vegas, USA - Robert Irwin

Las Vegas is known not only for the amount of food, but also for its quality. You do not have to long to find a place where you can get a great meal from an experienced chef. And all the restaurants will be located in excellent places with a beautiful view. If you want to stand out from the rest, you can order dishes from secret menus, which are available in almost all establishments in Las Vegas.

Istanbul, Turkey - Mark Murphy

Istanbul is rapidly gaining popularity with tourists looking for new street experiences, due to incredible street food, such as kebab or kufta. Against the background of all the other Turkish dishes, Murphy singled out one thing - a kokorech. He was in Istanbul a few years ago and then tried a local street dish, which is a roasted open lamb inside a soft roll with olive oil and a variety of condiments. This is really an incredible combination.

Portland, United States - Ken Oringer

Many may think that Maine is known only for its lobsters, but in fact, now you can find here incredible bakeries, restaurants, oyster bars, establishments offering ethnic dishes, and much more. So Portland definitely should be your next destination, if you are looking for a new culinary experience.

Sajulita, Mexico - Curtis Stone

In Mexico, you can find a variety of culinary points that you can visit, but Stone recommends choosing a lesser known direction - a settlement called Sayulita. In this tiny town you will find the best fish tacos in the world.

Sicily, Italy - Michael Simon

Another destination in the South of Italy is one of Simon's favorite chefs. When he is in Sicily, he always tries to spend time in Apulia and Marsala in order to feel the true taste of this island. His mother has Sicilian and Greek roots, so he grew up with these tastes. You should definitely try fresh mussels and cream cheese called burrata there.
