Drew Slow Foodies: What do you think have been the most significant Southwest Florida food/dining trends in the first decade of the century? I am looking to add local voices to an Associated Press story about "The Decade of the Foodie."

If you have a few minutes during this busy time of year call/send me your thoughts. Thank...s,
