Foodies: Bologna or Parma?
Will one will you choose?
I am a Personal Chef so visiting towns known for their products is something I try to sneak in during vacation. If you had to choose between one of these... which one?

I have not been to Parma in years but Bologna would certainly fit the bill. As would Modena. That whole region is heaven for people interested in food (I hate the term, "foodie," by the way). If you are planning to stay in Bologna, make sure to secure hotel reervations in advance as the city's popularity for fairs and conventions makes the room situation tight at many times of the year.
You can read a few food sections about Bologna on my report here:

I am glad you enjoyed the report. Truly, Bologna's "via della grassa," better known as Via Claveture, and the intersecting streets are a sight to behold for the food-centric. You can get great food all over this region; you will be astounded wherever you decide to base yourself.
