Should I go back to my regular haunt? Or should I try something new? Being a local guide has definitely helped to answer that question… try something new!
As a habitual person, I typically go back to the same place, order the same thing, and never branch out unless forced under duress. Being a local guide has helped me to get out of the rut of same old, same old, and try new foods and new cultures.
Of course, it can be a hit and miss, much like life itself. But better to have tried and disliked then to never have tried. I’ve found much more stimulating conversations over restaurants I’ve been and those I’d like to go, then always answering ‘no’ to if I’ve tried any good food recently.
I love being a local guide and enjoy most sharing my experiences of different eateries, always making sure to take a picture of my plate. Might be considered basic, but I wear that badge proudly. If my knowledge of baking shows has taught me anything; presentation is key, but the flavors have to be there as well. I’d like to think my reviews have helped at least one person pick their next dine out adventure!
