By: Laura Raymond, Destination Cuisine The L.A. Travel & Adventure Show occurring this weekend at the Long Beach Convention Center, features star guests Andrew Zimmern, Samantha Brown, Pauline Frommer and Patricia Schultz. They unveil their favorite travel spots for 2012. Andrew Zimmern, Travel Channel host of Bizarre Foods recommends the following for traveling foodies: Barcelona, Spain: “Barcelona offers a remarkable depth and breadth of eateries. The best in Spanish cuisine is well represented here.” Montreal, Quebec: “It’s a city with more culinary balls than any other on earth. Classic eats, street fare, indulgent, boozy, chef-driven, extreme cuisine.” Aleppo, Syria: “This former Spice Route capitol was the world’s greatest food city a thousand years ago and is still one today. Paved with ancient pathways, it’s perfect blend of Middle East and North Africa.” Venice, Italy: “It’s the perfect walking city, dark and brooding at night, hidden and mysterious, and the food is once again on par with the town itself.” Taipei, Taiwan: “I love Chinese cuisine, maybe above all else. The night market in Taipei offers what is perhaps the best street eats on the planet narrowly beating out Penang’s New Lane and Singapore’s hawker stalls.” Andrew will be speaking 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM on Saturday and 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM on Sunday. ____________________________________________________________ Samantha Brown, the ever-popular host of the Travel Channel’s Passport Series, names the following travel destinations: Siem Reap, CambodiaBuenos Aires, Argentina Salt Lake City’s Ski Country, Utah Berlin, Germany And last but not least: Portsmouth, NH (There’s no place like Samantha’s hometown.)
