Calling All Food-Loving Travelers!

9 October 2020
Take our survey

Have you ever traveled to Italy for traditional pizza and authentic pasta, or Canada for poutine? How about traveling to California or Spain for wine? If you’ve engaged in experiences like these when traveling, then we want to hear from you! We are trying to build a picture as to why some destinations are more popular than others for food and drink experiences.  To do so, the World Food Travel Association, the world’s leading non-profit authority on food and beverage tourism, is conducting a global study of which destinations are the most popular among food- and beverage- loving travelers like you.

And we want to hear from you! The data from the study will help destinations to improve their offerings for travelers like you. The survey is fun – and fast – we just need 7 minutes of your time.

In this episode number 72 of the Taste of Place podcast, we speak with Audrey Kelly. Audrey is the co-owner and head pizza maker at Audrey Jane’s Pizza Garage in Boulder, Colorado in the USA, which she runs with her brother, Peter. After studying pizza-making under Tony Gemignani, she opened her restaurant, and achieved quick success, with the restaurant having been been featured on the Food Network; the Travel Channel; and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Audrey won first place in the Pizza in Teglia competition in Naples, Italy, and has been featured in the New York Times and NPR. As a mother of twin boys, she balances family life with expanding her business, including plans for a second location. Audrey also grew up in a family of bakers, so she knows a thing or two about making dough!
