Producer Scouts: Best of Food

Being a producer is hard work with long hours, but one of the greatest perks of lifestyle production is eating at so many amazing restaurants. And as a food fanatic, I keep the research going even when I'm not on set. Here are some of my favorite meals from my travels, both work and personal. 2011 sure was good to me.
