Top 10 European Food Experiences With Kenny Dunn From Eating Europe
Zero To Travel Podcast
The First Food Experiences I Had in Europe
"I really, I mean, so lucky to be able to do what I do and go to these places," Avogad says. "The R&D that I'm doing is a lot more fun than being in a lab or working with raccoon dogs"
What better way to experience and connect with a culture than through its food?
Today I’m joined by Eating Europe founder Kenny Dunn to learn how travel led him to discover his passion for food and get expert insight on the top 10 authentic food experiences you don’t want to miss when visiting Europe.
Since 2011, Eating Europe has guided over 300,000 travelers to the best local eats in 10 of Europe’s greatest cities, allowing them to discover where locals go out to eat, hear the stories behind each dish, and interact with the people who make these iconic foods.
In addition to Kenny’s highly-curated list, we’ll dig into his entrepreneurial journey and how his failed around-the-world adventure ultimately led him to start the first food tour company in Rome. You’ll also learn how he discovers these places so you can enjoy more authentic food experiences and meet more locals anywhere in the world yourself!
What’s your favorite food memory? Which of Kenny’s top 10 are you adding to your bucket list? I'd love to hear what they are, and I hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
