It\u2019s rather difficult to define one\u2019s greatest food experience since it all depends on personal feelings, tastes and preferences. It can be a romantic candle-lit dinner with a loved one or perhaps a simple home cooked meal with the family; whatever it might be, food will always play a big part in our lives when we sit down and share that memorable dining experience together. So, here are some of my greatest food experiences to date.<\/p>\n<h2>Eat fresh and locally &#8211; Tasmania, Australia<\/h2>\n<p>It is undeniable that some of the best produce in Australia comes from that little \u2018apple isle\u2019 down south that we call Tasmania. These days everyone is talking about food sustainability and fresh local produce but Tasmanians don\u2019t just talk about it; they live it. Ask anyone and they\u2019ll tell you where their food came from. Be it oysters from Bruny Island, crayfish from Stanley, salmon from Kingston, organic flour from Callington Mill, cheeses from King Island, prime beef from Cape Grim, crisp apples from Huon Valley or a glass of sparkling from the Tamar Valley, they\u2019ve tried it. It\u2019s not about eating the best, but eating smart with the freshest produce around \u2013 that\u2019s makes Tasmania one of the best food destinations. Check out my blogs on\u00a0<a title=\"A Table for Two Tasmania\" href=\"http:\/\/atablefortwo.com.au\/category\/tasmania\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tasmania<\/a>\u00a0for more info.<\/p>\n<h2>Brunch in Dubai &#8211; UAE<\/h2>\n<p>Brunching in Dubai can easily be a sporting event worthy of the Olympics. On every Friday (the first day of the Arabic weekend), major hotels throw open their doors and welcome visitors for &#8220;champagne brunch&#8221;; and I&#8217;m not talking about the lazy mid-morning 11am-ish caf\u00e9 breakfast\/lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Brunch in Dubai is an extreme sport, an exercise in excess, with bottomless buffets and free-flowing alcohol. Even elastic waist pants won&#8217;t save your over-indulged soul. The\u00a0<a title=\"Expedia JW Marriott Marquis\" href=\"http:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Dubai-Emirate-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Marquis-Hotel-Dubai.h5399338.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JW Marriott Marquis<\/a>\u00a0sets the bar extremely high with an a-la-carte style brunch that includes table service and free-flowing French champagne \u2013 not to mention the complimentary panoramic view of the Dubai skyline from the 68th floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sure we all can agree that food is rather subjective.
