About powersful

An inveterate carnivore, I became a pescetarian in April of 2005. I'm rather lousy with the diet because I've only began to appreciate vegetables in the last decade in a rather slow and gradual process (I grew up thinking vegetables were just decorations for the steak) but still I press on, always in pursuit of a dish I can eat and enjoy! I've lived most of my life in Nashville but have also lived in Portland, OR (eating is great there, save for Mexican food, sadly) and San Antonio, TX. I'm excited to review and share my favorites for each city here.

Foodie Fetishes

  • Recommended Food Safari: pretzel croissants from a food vendor at Portland's Saturday Market, regular croissants (warmed and covered in honey and butter) at Star Bagel in Nashville, a veggie burger and sweet potato flips at Flip in San Antonio, most anything with 'too much' cilantro, Liberty Bar when figs are in season is completely missable
  • And to Drink: Baptist Wedding Punch at Jackson's in Hillsboro Village in Nashville, TN (key lime liqueur and ginger ale), a Ste. Germaine cocktail at Foreign Cinema, the French 75 whenever.
  • Your Fantasy Tablemates: CS Lewis, Ayn Rand, Cary Grant, Frank Black
  • Favorite Eating Town: Portland, OR
