Foodie Friday: Gifts For Foodies & Recipes They'll love!

(Via Inslee Designs)

I simply could not resist the above illustration. It is the exact scene that I saw last Saturday at Bergdorf Goodman.  These Whisper Chairs are iconic, and the perfect stylish seat at the Bergdorf Goodman Cafe. It's where the ladies and gentlemen who dine on Lobster Napoleon and enjoy afternoon tea, can be found. This post is all about the people on your list who take their food seriously. They really aren't that difficult. Just make sure you select the best and the most interesting.
