Gourmet Highway

The Gourmet Highway is a state of mind describes this journey. Those who are steeped in culture form the bedrock of appreciating all things worthy, whether food, fine wines, historic cocktails, legendary hotels, restaurants and clubs or museums, art galleries, theatrical performance venues, architectural wonders and many things in between.

Join Doc Lawrence each week as he travels for Speaking of Travel along The Gourmet Highway.

"The Gourmet Highway," says Doc, "isn't paved, has no billboards and yet it is alive with all the possibilities than humankind and nature provides. It is a journey that leads to new places and friendly faces where tastes, flavors and aromas synthesize into a higher life. The destinations are your city, your special getaway, your refuge. The Gourmet Highway never ends because it is a state of mind."
