Welcome

Hello, welcome to jungle. Just kiding. This isn't the jungle. You are actually on the Internet. I'm sorry it took me pointing that out for you to realize it. Back to the story.

I'll spend most of my time on here posting about the food scene in Nashville, TN. If you're not familiar with the area you may say, "What food scene?". I don't respect that sort of negativity, and I won't tolerate it. We may not be New York City, but we also aren't paying 500 dollars for a plate of sushi. Life's about trade offs.

I will be traveling in Europe (mostly), Africa (some), and the Middle East (some I hope) starting from March 5th until June 2nd. Expect great things. I do. Also, I may post some non-food stuff from time to time. I can sometimes wander. Anyways, all in all expect me to deliver you honest opinionated commentary about what I'm eating, what I want to eat, and how I'm gonna eat it.

Since I just graduated I'm mostly broke. My 3 month traveling extravaganza isn't gonna help matters either. That being said, don't expect to see reviews of the newest chic restaurant. Ambiance is nice and all, but let's be honest. We are here for the food. I'll be covering more low key places, and fancy joints from time to time. Also, if I have an exceptionally good meal at the house, expect up to the minute coverage. I'll try to include recipes, pictures, and price ranges for whatever I'm eating if I can.

What's in store for this week. I'm not entirely sure, but you can expect a dumpling cook off. I'm going to K&S World Market tomorrow to acquire the finest in dumplings from around the world. Myself and my esteemed panel of judges (roommates) will let you know which crunchy, puffy, doughy package of goodness you should be reaching for when the dumpling craving strikes you. Don't lie. I know that's like twice a day.

Dumpling 2K7 coming soon. Probably tomorrow. Sorry I went out for pizza and beer and board games instead of trying to figure out why my camera software wouldn't work. It'll be up tomorrow though. Don't fear. In the mean time I will provide a topic of discussion. See the next post for details.
