What you have there is some of the world's most outrageous, experimental cooking. I think people need to have the roasted-lamb dishes at the Djemaa el Fna in Morocco. Prowl the streets of Reykjavik at 3 in the morning and eat the sausages and lobster bisque. Get to Palawan in the southern Philippines and try the seafood. It's mind-boggling.

After last year's debacle, Haney is letting the geese forage on grass but worries about the lack of acorns. "It doesn...
