Looking for Food In the Mountains, In the Meadows
It has been quiet on our food tour as of late, and apologies for that. We are taking some time to enjoy the Rockies and rough it a bit in the great outdoors. This means very little (if any) Internet access through the end of August, so posting will be light. But we still need your help on finding the country's culinary best along the way.

Feed Me In St. Louis
The next stop on our American Food Tour is St. Louis, home to puzzling pizza, cool custard, and the king of (evil) beers, Anheuser-Busch. And with your help, I'm sure we'll find some good things to eat and drink under the arch this week.

Searching for a Heavenly Roast Pork in Philly

Or is it better to go with reader achenglovefood's suggestion of Oleana, and try the octopus ragu? Perhaps Rendezvous? Or some raw bar at B&G? Help us decide by voting in our latest poll.

POLL: One Night Only in Portland, Maine
Had I planned this all out better, we would probably be spending a few days in Portland instead of just 24 hours. But that's all the time we have, so help us decide where to go in our new poll.
