Lancaster, Thanks for the excellent article. I hope you don't mind if I use some of your photos for a picturebook reference. They're quite helpful. I also think you'd make an excellent travel writer! Forget about the cooking!

Lancaster, this is quite a stunning article, with some fantastic pictures! (The featured article was the best part, I think.)

And I think you are on the right track, about your GrandPappy, I mean. But you better learn to COOK from him !! Then grow up,... look like your handsome Dad,... and inherit all that money from your GrandPappy's website !!! [But you sound like you got the "Kitchen Traveler" BUG, already !

GOOD WORK MASTER BLAKE !!

[P.S. -Were you named after the actor, Burt, by the way?]
