So excited!

I'm so excited for this trip! It is going to be so much fun! I love road trips and spending time with my family and eating yummy food! I am really looking forward to going to New York! -Asha(:

what's happening

I'm doing a lot of work right now putting together ideas for food articles/essays/thoughts on the road trip. I would like to have something foodie to write about in (some) depth for each destination. It's fascinating doing the research on food in the places we'll be traveling. Some of the ideas I've been exploring:
eating cows in Canada (a mad idea?)
what's the local/organic movement doing up there?
Croissants and Macaroons in Montreal
Prairie Cuisine

I've run across great food magazines (Food For Thought) for example that comes out of Alberta that I'd never heard of.

I've gotten a few recommendations from friends, but I'd like to hear more. Where to eat? What foodie things to write about?

The emphasis on this trip is, no surprise, food. Where to eat, what to eat, and just how often can we eat? This last is the one limiting factor. I'm particularly interested in finding treasures in those out of the way towns that appear to be at the mercy of Subway (you know, the places where even McDonalds doesn't go?). I know that people in that town must want good food. Our aim is to find it!
