Limitless Travels (MILD)

Gastronomic Bucket List (mild version)

On my next trip to Tokyo
I have to experience first hand what the people have been raving about and how much cash they spend for one dinner in some modern-Tokyo_establishment. Calling their food the most expensive the food is just a shame because its THE MOST EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT IN THE WORLD Aragawa  offers a $400 per person sake-fed Kobe Beef steak served ever so simply, with just pepper and mustard and nothing else.

On my next European adventure
I'll make sure I get a table at Tickets  for lunch and at Comerç, 24 for "luxury" tapas.
Cinc Sentis i heard that this new style ultra modern catalanan cuisine tasting resto is worth the bucks.  (Barcelona)

Lunch at Au Petit Sud Ouest (Paris)  where the foie is homemade and lovers of duck hear this, foie with truffle sauce, oven grilled goat cheese salad with smoked duck, duck wings, cherry or orange flavored duck stew and the best duck confit in town. 


Helene Darroze (Paris) , the most celebrated female chef in Paris opened a restaurant which serves intriguingly modern french dishes such as a sublime duck foie confit served with an exotic fruit chutney or a roast wild duck stuffed with foie and truffles. Mondfuckingblowing.


On the agenda would also be to enjoy the view from Hotel de Ville's penthouse restobar Georges (Paris) , just coz its uber-trendy and uber-hyped about now, I'd have a drink or ten there make out with 5 french boys or so and have falafel for midnight snack at L'As du Falafel (literally, Ace of Falafel). 
Away from the touristy quarters for champagne brunch at L'Atelier du Parc (Paris) where the food is superb minus the agonizing tab. 


I'd end my gastronomique bucket list by having possibly the most traditional French meal I can get in Paris. Taillevent has held onto their stars for 30 years, that must mean something right...? Its as haute as haute cuisine could get think, foie terrine, lobster sausage, spelt risotto with truffles and frog legs, succulent lamb leg and top it off with baba au rhum, it will prolly be the most expensive meal of my life.
