Year End Notes

 Best Meal of the Year:  Ivan Cerdeno, Toledo Spain...close second Victor Sanchez Beato also in Toledo...so many great meals across Spain, a reminder that this is still tops for fine dining

Not Surprised(and well deserved):  John and Karen Shields Receiving 3rd Michelin Star for Smyth...their previous restaurant in Chilhowie Virginia, Townhouse, was IMHO best in America and was 3 star worthy...and Tom and Kyra Bishop were the owners and were so welcoming...miss so much

Wow:  Erik Niel of Easy Bistro here in Chattanooga etc received a mention earlier this week in the Wall Street Journal...always kind of cool when a local receives national press

Appreciative:  of all the local restaurants here in Chattanooga that keep dining interesting by putting out good ethnic dishes

Most interesting travel of the year:  Mississippi Delta Tamales and Blues trip on our way to Austin


Art Exhibit of the year:  Vermeer in Amsterdam...OMG
