Today is Eating the World’s 5th anniversary. We’ve come a long way in 5 years. We got married. Visited Asia, Europe and South America. Took (2) roadtrips through the Southern USA. Lived Abroad in Brazil and Portugal. One of us got a PhD, and one of us is almost done. Most of all, we have eaten a LOT of food. As of today, we’ve eaten food from 88 different countries – not even half of the total. Between all the different culinary experiences it’s been hard to nail down some favorites, but we had to give it a shot. Here they are, the winners of ETW’s 5th Anniversary Awards:
