    Hey there! We’re Cary and Cris. Earlier this year we decided to quit our jobs and leave our beautiful island of Kauai to pursue a life of full-time travel. Being ex-chefs, our worlds pretty much revolve around food and beverage. So, we thought it would be fun to take you with us as we eat, drink, and explore the world.

    Love the video! I am only sad you didnt visit Slovenain Istria where we have great seafood and the local favourite Ombolo (a piece of swine inside a bread loaf with cheese, mushroom or truffle sauce). Ima a vegetarian so instead of Ombolo i fill the bread with vegetables. There is one more food YOU HAVE TO TRY and its the all time winner for the best comfort food in the history of all comfort foods - Žlikrofi. Its a speciality form my home town Idrija in the northern Primorska region. Its a type of a dumpling.
    I work in tourism so if you want contact me here with a msg and i can offer great advice, tips, ideas and plans for you to experience the region of Primorska!

    Slovenia is a green beautiful place but the food here is nothing special in comparison to food just across the border in Italy and Austria. The problem is that the best meat and other ingredients produced in Slovenia are sent to Austria and Italy so it is very hard to find a high quality ingredients among Slovenian suppliers. You should better check food in Trieste, Klagenfurt and Graz if you really want to eat good.
