W: Hello, Mr. Jan Erick Friedman. You’re a frequent traveler. And we also know that you eat out twice a day. How come you are so fond of eating out?

M: When I got my first job back in 1982 and started traveling, I had no other choice but to eat out. I found that I felt different due to what I was eating, so I tried to find places that served food that made me feel good. The secret was the quality of the food and how well the food was prepared. I made an effort to find good restaurants as well as nice dishes.

W: How did you manage to make a list of 218 favorite restaurants?

M: I have lived in many cities, and when I moved back to Sweden from the United States, people asked me where to go and eat when they went to cities I knew. I got a lot of ideas. Then I wrote about restaurants for the Swedish Club’s magazine, and someone suggested I gather the information about the restaurants together. Since I had all the facts about the restaurants I had been to, I started to do that.

W: How do you find restaurants?

M: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to people at a street market or take a walk and look for a place myself. I never ask a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don’t go to empty restaurants or places with menus difficult to understand.
