Foodie Adventures in Europe, Part 1
Inspiration
Respect
Perspective
These are the reasons we travel.In many ways, the trip to France and Italy that we just returned home from was one we were preparing for our entire lives.
More on that next week, but for now, we hope you will take a moment to watch these short videos about our travels.
Also, we missed you! Come see us soon!

The first day of Scott & Joe’s food adventure through France and Italy included a little shopping, incredible oysters, mussels from Normandy, and the butteriest scallops, at the lovely Chez Leon. We followed that with beautiful fig pastries, the Rhône, fountains, and love. Not pictured, a perfect 9 course dinner at Monsieur P and a lot of laughter and connection with French people and best friends. Follow along for more.
We were smitten with the abundance of the Croix-Rousse Market – one of Lyon’s biggest and liveliest outdoor food markets. We ended up choosing cheese from the lovely Ben at Mons Fromager Affineur, French bread (of course), half of a roasted chicken (yes to the extra juice), tomatoes, and plum yogurt for dessert. We had our little picnic at the top of a hill overlooking the city. Later we had a sweet little cheese and charcuterie board at a shop to ours called Quai des Oliviers and finished the day at a bouchon Daniel et Denise. The energy of the place was unreal - we were so excited to be surrounded by so many other food loving folks and the food was top notch. Follow along for more.
Once upon a time two cheese loving boys couldn’t believe the wonderful time they were having by a lake. The sweet little town of Annecy greeted us like a storybook. After a rainy but peaceful drive from Lyon to the lake and a jaunt around we settled into a perfect fondue lunch at Ô Savoyard. It was like stepping into a Swiss chalet of cheese. Then we made our way to the glorious Le Palace de Menthon. We were obsessed with the view from our room. A walk by the lake, a swim, and drinks and dinner at the hotel bar finished the day. See you tomorrow.
