Jagalchi Fish Market, Busan, South Korea. I saw these interesting sea-food goodies, still alive, slowly undulating – engorging then de-gorging. I took the photo looking straight down into the small vat of water they immersed in.

These two were sharing lunch in the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney, Australia. It was a good thing I had my camera in hand because I couldn't resist snapping away... until another kangaroo came and thought my camera was HIS lunch!

How about some fresh Peruvian pork high in the Andes?

This is a photo of one of the best meals of my life. I work in the entertainment industry and travel extensively, which allows me great opportunities to indulge the foodie in me.

This was at the Hasan Kolcuoglu Restaurant in Adana, Turkey, which is world famous for the Adana Kebab. Our extremely gracious local hosts from Incirlik Air Force Base took us to a New Year's Eve lunch to share with us the local specialty.

Here, you see the Adana Kebab being delivered to our table -- all 10 feet of it. It's an exceptionally flavorful kebab made of hand-minced lamb meat and red pepper, cooked on a 10-foot-long sword (seen in the photo), along with chunks of chicken, peppers, tomatoes, and served on an equally long piece of freshly-baked flatbread. The cooks and servers were all incredibly graceful maneuvering such a large kebab!

It was served with the usual trimmings: copious amounts of fresh vegetable salads, yogurt and cucumber, spicy ground feta, garlic butter, and fresh-baked bread with cheese and lamb stuffing. It tasted as good as it looks.
