Top culinary destinations

According to Keith Bellows, Editor in Chief of National Geographic Traveler magazine,
“A meal is more than an intake of calories; it’s an exercise in cultural immersion. What people eat, when they eat, where and how they source the food, what gastronomic rituals they observe – all offer telling insights to a place and its people.”

It's that time of year to start dreaming about the next vacation destination.
Here are Bellows' top 5 culinary destinations.
What's yours?

Thanks Janine for bringing this to my attention!

The Ironman

In my opinion, there's no greater sporting event.

Swim 3.8 kilometers (2.4 miles) , Bike 180 kilometers (112 miles) and Run 42 kilometers (26.2 miles). All under 17 hours.

It's the Ironman.

And if you can't join them... watch them in action this Saturday (December 18th)!

What these athletes will do to just get to the start line is monumental by any standards.

Top ironman pros will:

Swim 18 miles (29km) per week
Bike 350 miles (560km) per week
Run 60 miles (96km) per week

Calories burned weekly: 30 000
Extra meals per week an ironman eats: 42
Pounds an ironman would lose per month without these extra meals: 34
