Anne and Carl Deane Explore How to Find the Best Local Foods on Vacation
As travelers and foodies, one of the most satisfying things for Anne and Carl to do on vacation is find exciting, delicious eats. In fact, tracking down the best food possible in areas while visiting is a frequent topic for Anne and Carl’s video content.
Anne and Carl Deane mention that, despite most people’s love for great cuisine, many have questions regarding the best ways to find food in new, unfamiliar places. Here, Anne and Carl explore a few tips for finding the best eats in any town.
Ask Around
One of the most effective ways to find the best food in new territory is to ask around. Surprisingly, many people forget that locals are an excellent resource for finding out more about any place, and many who spent a significant time in the area will know some of the best food spots to visit nearby as well. Anne and Carl Deane mention that the concierge or staff at the place you are staying as well as locals you may see out and about may have insights on where to get the best eats.
Don’t Be Afraid to Check Outside of Resort Areas
Depending on the hotel or resort you are staying it, it is possible that the location has excellent, award-winning food. Anne and Carl Deane note, however, that the food in these places is far from the only great options almost guaranteed. If you are looking for the best of the best or even just some diversity from the resort’s menu, it can be a great idea to do a bit of light travelling to a different area known by locals for its cuisine. Anne and Carl recognize that, for many, exploring outside of the resort area can be daunting and encourage visitors to only venture out if they feel safe to do so. In many cases, great local food can be found just a few short blocks from more touristy areas. If you see a place a bit off the beaten path full of locals, you can rest assured that the food must be worth it.
Check Reviews
In their excitement to visit a new place, many tourists forget that they can often find more about the great eateries in the area through online reviews and guides. It always a good idea to check out online reviews to get a lay of the land, however, take them with a grain of salt. Some people may be unused to service or other amenities in different countries or areas and can go on more about those factors than the food itself. For this reason it is best to use reviews as just one piece of the puzzle for deciding. If a place has a great local reputation and typically good reviews, it is very likely that it is worth a visit. Anne and Carl Deane note that one important thing to remember is that great food places are opening, closing, and moving constantly, meaning that what you see online may not be representative of the current best of the best. Asking locals or other visitors who have experience in the area, in addition to reviews, may therefore be a way to cover all of your bases.
Take a Food Tour
Food tours have become incredibly popular and food a good reason. They can be one of the most efficient ways to try a variety of delicious foods for which an area is known. In addition, many times these tours help with parts of the trip such as travel and navigation which can be a bit difficult to facilitate yourself if you are unfamiliar with the area. Anne and Carl Dean recommend choosing food tours with good reputations and reviews online and speaking with a representative of the tour company could be an efficient way to get a read of them yourself as well. Most will have information available on the places that they will visit, the type of foods available, and tips and tricks for finding more quality food nearby. A benefit of a food tour beyond the food is that it can give you a more in-depth picture of where you are visiting and it can be excellent for getting more immersed in the culture.
Check Local Markets and Look for Lines!
Many travelers do not know that local markets can be amazing resources for finding great food from local businesses and vendors. Typically, these markets offer access to produce, trinkets, snacks, and many offer full fledged meals as well. One of the reasons Anne and Carl Deane enjoy frequenting markets is that they can really show you a lot about the culture in an accessible way. This is because, while a market may be individual to an area, many will work very similarly. Markets are also excellent places to meet more locals and visitors who know just where to find the best spots. Remember when you are visiting a market to look out for lines. If locals are standing in a line at a booth, it is a surefire way to tell that it is quality eating.
