US: Seattle, WA – Rubbing a Pig for Luck

We saw this for the first time in Florence Italy’s market in about 1991 – and it was a pig there too. Many objects around the world are now there for you to rub and receive good luck.

US: Seattle, WA – City Fish at Seattle’s Pike Place Market

City Fish’s fish throwing fish mongers are one of the reason that the Pike’s Place Market is on the map. We’ve visited many food markets around the world but these guys are the only ones flinging fish across the fish stand and putting on a fun fishy show.

Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Scottish Pub in Sault Ste. Marie

Total fun to meet a guy in a skirt in a pub. The owner of The Whisky Barrel struts it in his kilt as he got to follow his dream to open a Scottish pub. So sure there’s Haggis and Shepherd’s Pie but also fun whisky ice cream.

Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Ontario Game at Outspoken Brewing

Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Indian Fare at Rasoi

These are North Indian hot (both ways) appetizers served up in an adorable cart. I love it when you eat in a restaurant where you wind up with a collage of ethnic flavors which highlight Canada as a wonderful kaleidoscope of people. The butter chicken poutine says it all – east meets west in Sault Ste. Marie at Rasoi. In Hindi that name means kitchen, and the northern Indian fare here comes straight from home traditions.
