Eat like a local

You don’t need to stamp up your passport to sample some of the world’s best ethnic food; America is a nation of immigrants, bursting with mouth-watering international flavors. In this episode of Tour & Explore, we brought in a food connoisseur to offer some of her favorite ethnic hotspots in the country.

Among the restaurant dishes on Annelise Soren’s checklist:

• Spanish tapas in New York, including dates wrapped in bacon.

• Scandinavian pork meatballs in Chicago.

• Tibetan momos filled with beef in San Francisco.

• Alligator – yes, alligator – in New Orleans, a United Nations of food unto itself.

Watch the episode to find out which restaurants offer these delightful dishes and others.
