If you were not some sort of mouth breathing water buffalo

Somewhere along the intersection between food and travel, you'll find Anthony Bourdain.

His show, No Reservations, is now a permanent resident on the old Tivo -- a perfect piece of fast food travel when you've got the itch to be anywhere but where you are right now.

What brings him to mind today however is a random little nugget from Robert Donoghue, who recently saw the traveling foodie speak in New York City.

Apparently, Bourdain knows exactly how to navigate the internet to find the perfect place for dinner:

..take the city you want to go to and just google up some restaurant names that serve the dish you're after. Then got to chowhound or another foodie site, and rather than asking about restaurants, you put up an enthusiastic post talking about how you just had the best whatever you're looking for at one of these restaurants.

At that point... the nerdfury will begin. Posters will show up from nowhere to shower you with disdain, tell you how that place used to be good but has now totally sold out and - most important to your quest - will tell you where you would have gone if you were not some sort of mouth breathing water buffalo.
