Barbara Balfour, author of "Frommer's Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick" was our first guest, talking about how to plan the best trip to the Canadian Maritimes. Among the topics she hit:

  • The tragic Acadian history of the region, and how to experience Acadian culture today
  • Why lesser-known New Brunswick many now be the best state in the Maritimes for a nature vacation
  • How to plan a road trip along the Cabot Trail
  • How you can enjoy Prince Edward Island even if you don't give a damn about "Anne of Green Gables"

Then, Dawn Padmore, Vice President of Awards at the James Beard Association came in to give us a backstage look at this important culinary contest. She discussed:

  • Who James Beard was, and how the awards began
  • How restaurants get nominated for the honor
  • What winning an award can mean for a restaurant
  • The Foundation's special dinners, in New York City and across the country, which introduce the public to award winning chefs.

The Frommer's Travel Show was named one of the 13 best for travel by the New York Times. It's hosted by Pauline Frommer, daughter of founder Arthur Frommer and the publisher of the Frommer's guidebooks and Frommer's.com.
