Chocolate City (#5)
According to Jacques Torres, “Brussels gets all the glory, but Bruges is actually the world’s chocolate capital.” There are more than 50 chocolate shops in town, one on top of the other, as well as a chocolate museum. But don’t spend too much time inside Torres says, “Go outside, where the air smells of cocoa beans! Visit in the spring and there will be flowers everywhere. Visit in the winter and it’ll be like a fantasy holiday wonderland, filled with chocolate.”

Why I love Cardoons (#13)
