I feel like I didn't even scratch the surface of what is in that city foodwise, but there was such a beautiful mix of these, you know, kind of progressive restaurants, but at the same time these very classic fried fish shacks, po' boys, muffuletta, all these things that were just ... kind of traditional to the area. Then sort of high-end [dishes too], and it was fantastic."
