I smile….Its so good to know that I’m not the only ‘obsessive’ travel researcher. I tend to focus on markets, resturants and things to bring back So when we went to Vienna, I brought back some pumpkin oil, Paris – confiture au lait (a kind of dulce de leche), Rome – Pasta, sauces and more….. Haven’t been to the US yet but Pecans will be at the top of my list! Glad you had a great time

Thanks everyone! I’m glad I’m not the only one that completely plans trips around restaurants

Emily – Yay, I finally got our picture up

Gin – I definitely need a lesson on how to clean leeks faster! I feel like sometimes they’re fine and sometimes they are filled with so much dirt!

Judy – I’m SO looking forward to your short rib post!

Kiss My Spatula – I’m rooting for Jen, but the brothers and Kevin are great too!

Ingrid – Haha, I can’t claim credit for calling them dirty water hot dogs, I stole that line from Anthony Bourdain

So cool that you visited my old stompin’ grounds. Moved from NY to FL just 12 years ago. Loved the tie in to Warhol’s soup art. I never actually saw that before. Your soup sounds wonderful, I am just still waiting for it to cool off here. It’s taking longer than usual and was 90 today. Ick.

Looks like a wonderful soup! Good comfort food. I will try anything that has peppers! I saw you also on Emily’s blog. So nice that you had a chance to meet!

Nice! I saw you met up with Emily of Sugar Plum, too!

Ha-ha, about dirty water hot dogs. I loved those when I lived there though after your comment I’m not sure I’d I could eat one! LOL! That comment is one that will stick with me for a looong time!

Craft was GREAT! A few people at our table got the braised short ribs and they loved them. I’m actually eating vegetarian for the month of October, so I got the mushroom risotto for main and we shared a bunch of the sides which were alll amazing. We got monkeybread for dessert. When do you ever see monkey bread for dessert? We had to get it.

Your soup sounds wonderful and a perfect antidote to all the food and drink from Vegas.

I’m a huge Top Chef fan too … which is why I’m so glad that Craft didn’t disappoint! So jealous of your trip to NYC … love that crazy city! Have been to MoMA several times, and enjoyed it every single time

Ah, a girl after my own heart planning your trip around food! My husband and I are getting ready to take a trip to Chicago that is based solely on restaurants. After watching Top Chef Masters, we were sold on Bayless and Graham Elliott, so off we go! I found your blog by way of Emily at Sugar Plum. Your soup looks delish and I love that you added the nutrition and cost at the bottom! I look forward to following your culinary adventures.

You and your Mom must have had so much fun! And, your soup looks delicious. I love it when a soup can be thickened with a vegetable instead of cream.

Love the soup recipe, definitely will try it soon. How nice you had a vacation with your mom! She’s lovely. I just made Tom Colicchio’s braised short ribs and they were absolutely to die for! Haven’t posted the recipe yet.
