If you are going to a destination where the food might be more exotic than usual, always err on the side of caution.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People will travel anywhere for good food - it's crazy.
It can be tough when you're on the road, but I think food is meant to be enjoyed, so whenever we go to a new place, we look for the specialty item there.
That's always my downfall on tour: the food. I just want to eat everything.
I never eat where the hotel recommends. I do my own research and then try the most highly rated options.
I was afraid of Korean food when I moved to L.A., let alone sushi. I remember thinking either sink or swim. Living here in Studio City, Ventura Blvd. is the Mecca of sushi restaurants. What you thought was so exotic is just run of the mill.
I remember going to university, and the people who'd left home for the first time looked at the food and were horrified. Whereas, my view was that if it was vaguely edible, then it's fine.
When I visit a country, I like to experience local food.
We're going to do everything possible to make sure that food safety is always paramount, and that we work with the industry as aggressively as we can to make sure that we're paying attention to the food-safety issues.
I don't enjoy traveling in America. I don't like the food, the cars. It is not exotic enough. It all tastes a bit like airline food.
Meat and poultry is safe. It's safer than it's probably ever been.
