The
Italian region of Tuscany and the Tuscan wines of
Villa Antinori- it's one of the longest marriages
on earth. The roots of Antinori go back hundreds
of years. Their wines are the very heart and soul
of Tuscany. We'll unearth some of the Antinori history,
meet the people responsible for preserving that history,
and match it all up with some authentic Tuscan cuisine.
Then, we'll take a culinary tour of Florence, visiting
the Grand Hotel and Enoteca Pinchiorri.
Nestled
along the Gulf Coast in Central Florida, Tampa has
to be one of the prettiest cities in the country.
And, it's serving up some pretty good grub too. We'll
stop by Bern's Steak House; you know, the one with
a 400-thousand bottle wine cellar. We'll also head
to Bern's farm which supplies the restaurant with
all of its vegetables and herbs. Finally, we'll make
our way to Ybor City, the historic Spanish part of
town for a visit to an authentic Cuban bakery and
cigar factory. Come along for some tasty Tampa tidbits.
Hogmanie
is an ancient Celtic celebration, and no where is
it celebrated with more abandon than in the ancient
city of Edinburgh. And, this Hogmanie is the wildest
of all, New Year's Eve 1999! Come along for a weeklong
exploration of Hogmanie and Edinburgh from 2000 bagpipers
marching down the Royal Mile, to authentic Scottish
sweets, to Scotch Whiskey, to the most magnificent
fireworks display north of Paris. Hogmanie in Edinburgh,
it's a city and an event you won't soon forget.
We
know of Philadelphia's long and distinguished history,
but its dining legacy has been anything but historic,
until now. We're popping the lid on Philly's exploding
culinary scene, and we've got a local guide to help
us. Top notch chef Tony Clark will show us the ropes,
from the two best Philly cheesesteaks in town, to
the Italian market in South Philadelphia, to a hidden
gem of a coffee roasting plant. Oh, and Clark's going
to cook up a storm too. Join Culinary Travels With
Dave Eckert for some historic hedonism in Philadelphia.Dave's bio | recipes | wines | news | home
