[Blackwell:] Two well-known executives are heading to North Korea. Google chairman Eric Schmidt is going to visit the country.
[Kaye:] Yes. And he's going with former Governor Bill Richardson.
[Blackwell:] Yes.
[Kaye:] So it's kind of interesting and [inaudible] Google, I mean a guy from Google is going because it's so strict about the Internet there.
[Blackwell:] Yes. And the U.S. has sanctions against them. Bill Richardson has been there before. There are concerns from the state department, though, and they're sharing those. Let's listen. We have sound from the State Department? No, ok.
[Kaye:] I guess not. I'm too busy trying to get my stool in order up here. But I guess we don't have sound from the State Department.
[Blackwell:] There we go.
[Kaye:] Adjust me.
[Blackwell:] Yes.
[Kaye:] We are you know, they're a little wobbly. But I guess they're not so happy about it because, you know, it's dangerous and it's just a bad time to be there. We had had the rocket launch recently so they don't want them there. But another story that we've been talking about this morning is this whole case of Starbucks. They're not I know you're not into this.
[Blackwell:] I'm not at all.
[Kaye:] It's actually good for the environment. The coffee chain is going to be selling these $1 reusable mugs. So I guess you bring it in, you get a ten-cent discount. They wash it for you.
[Blackwell:] Yes, you just have to keep this one I guess people who drink coffee keep this cup in their car or keep it at their job or something. I'm just not into this reusable cup thing. Keep taking it in. I don't know.
[Kaye:] If you look at the numbers, though, four billion cups worth of waste generated every year.
[Blackwell:] That is true. That is true.
[Kaye:] You can bring it home. You wash it. You know, you can wash it yourself at home, I guess.
[Blackwell:] That's true. I mean we'll see. They've tried this before, though.
[Kaye:] Yes.
[Blackwell:] They've tried this reusable cup before and I don't see many reusable cups. Maybe with the incentive now of, you know, getting ten cents off per $4 cup of gingerbread latte, it will be a deal.
[Kaye:] At least there's an effort.
[Blackwell:] Yes.
[Kaye:] I'll give them an A for effort.
[Blackwell:] You've got to try.
[Kaye:] All right. You've got to try it once. Well, if you couldn't stay up during the week we'll show you some of the best from the late night talk shows. And the FDA is setting new rules to keep you and the food you eat much safer.
[Blackwell:] But first, when traveling to other cities and countries, the best way to get a real taste of the place is through the local food. CNN iReport has teamed up with "Travel and Leisure Magazine" to create a global list of the 100 places to eat like a local. Here is CNN's Jim Spellman in Denver with a sample.
[Jim Spellman, Cnn Correspondent:] It's a damp, chilly morning in Denver, Colorado. We're going to try to warm up at the Denver Biscuit Company. Just a few years ago, this was really just a bar. People came here to drink at night time. And now there's high chairs, kids in here.
[Drew Shader, Denver Biscuit Company:] Yes. It was a big question of whether people would come into a drinking place to eat breakfast. And I think that's a testament to our food.
[Spellman:] Should we head into the kitchen?
[Shader:] Sure. Absolutely.
[Spellman:] That is a serious rolling pin.
[Unidentified Male:] Stainless steel.
[Spellman:] Can I check that out?
[Unidentified Male:] Yes, absolutely.
[Spellman:] All right.
[Unidentified Male:] You'll get better through the day.
[Spellman:] We must pause for the obligatory Twitter photo.
[Shader:] Yes, for sure.
[Spellman:] All right. I'm going to start with the Franklin, you start with one of those and we'll switch.
[Shader:] All right. Definitely.
[Spellman:] Oh, my God, this is so good. It's ridiculous. The biscuits at the Denver Biscuit Company are seriously amazing. So good we have to take a box of them with us. Thanks so much, Drew. Thank you.
[Blackwell:] Yes. That's what I'm going to do after the show. Have a biscuit.
[Kaye:] Oh, yes.
[Blackwell:] It looks so good. IReporters, here is your chance to help us create a map of the food lovers world. Let's go to iReport.com100 places. Here it is. Send us a photo of your favorite restaurant and dish and tell us why it's special and how you discovered the place. The definitive list of 100 places to eat like a local will be revealed in March and some iReporters will be on that list. So be sure to stay tuned to see if you're one of them.
