Many who live here traveled for a living, in the US, and Europe. It not being a food snob it’s the food you have enjoyed most of your life. We traveled to Europe in the summers, with our children, and our oldest loved it so much he moved there for 7 years. They would board the train with their bikes and eat some of the most amazing food, and drink wine that had a hand written name on the bottle.

We were not raised on processed food, more of a farm to table, except it was our farms. I have only drank milk from the cows in the barn as they were milked. I don’t drink store bought milk, it’s yuck. Our eggs came from the chickens in the coop, Our beef and pork came from a different paddock, on the farm. Our fruit, and veggies were picked as we used then, or had to do a full harvest. I didn’t know what a grocery was until I moved to my first apartment.

Hard to say which food we loved the best around the country. But if I am going to spend money in a restaurant, it’s going to be something I have not mastered well enough to make at home.

As for Toojays, once you have been to NYC, there is not a deli, or a bagel place that comes close, in TV. We all had different lifestyles, and for some food, and wine is a big part of that experience.
