Where in the World?

One of my favorite things to do is try different foods and go to new restaurants. It brings out the explorer/adventurer in me. Sometimes I will try new places without getting any recommendations. But really, it’s the joy of discovering new tastes and flavor combinations that I find quite appealing. The world we live in has an almost infinite variety of foods and food combinations to savor or sample. I have a long way to go before I experience all of them.

In the past I was quite rigid in my food preferences, but over the years as I have traveled extensively, my palette has expanded. I very rarely go somewhere that I can’t find something that I like or would like to try. It really is a sense of freedom to not have to stick to a particular food all the time.

Tonight’s dinner in Leipzig was at a very nice restaurant called Escados Steak House. It’s located on the southern end of the town center in the basement of the Deutsche Bank building. I highly recommend it. The food quality is excellent as is the service. The atmosphere is cozy and casual. I had some tapas dishes; shrimp, croquettes more shrimp in conjunction with a nice wine and garlic bread. Oh, did I mention I like shrimp or prawns. As I was with some colleagues from work, the evening was filled with some good stories and lots of laughter. Great combination; friends, good food, laughter, and drinks.
