Get the Recipe for a Restaurant Meal


For me, good food helps make a good trip. In another post, I recommended using FoodTV.com (the Food Network's site) to find restaurants before your trip. Traditional travel sites, Fodors.com and Frommers.com, are also good, and if there is one, the city's magazine will help. But when you actually get to these restaurants and hit the jackpot with a great meal, how do you bring it home?

The answer: Write to Bon Appetit magazine.

The magazine invites readers to send them their favorite restaurant dishes. Then, the magazine gets in touch with the chef at that restaurant, asks for the recipe and publishes a handful of them every month.

If you've got something to submit, below are the instructions (I pulled these directly from Bon Appetit's website):

"RSVP"

If you would like Bon Appétit to obtain a specific recipe from a restaurant where you have dined, send the editors the name and address of the restaurant and the name of the dish or type of dish. Because space is limited, the magazine cannot honor all requests. Submit our request form (visit Bon Appetit for the link) or write to the following address:

"R.S.V.P." c/o Bon Appétit
6300 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90048
