The Quest

I forgot to mention, I'm obssessed with macaroni and cheese, and I'm continually on a search for the best.  If a restaurant offers it, you will absolutely hear my review on that.  In fact, I'll give you a Top 5 list right now (and there will be more details in some of my retro posts):

1.  My great-grandmother's recipe - Hazel Breitenstein (if you're lucky I'll share this one with you)
2.  The Lady's Cheesy Mac - The Lady and Sons (Paula Deen's restaurant) - Savannah, GA
3.  Not Your Ordinary Mac and Cheese - J. Alexander's - All locations
4.  Macaroni and Cheese - Yo Mama - New Orleans, LA
5.  Twisted Mac and Cheese (It's a whole entree!!!!) - Hard Rock Cafe - All locations

Of course, this ranking is subject to change as I continue my quest!

Hello!!

So I've decided to start this blog because I love food.  I've been travelling a lot recently, including Chicago, Savannah, Atlanta, and New Orleans (hey, I like the South!!), and every time I go to any restaurant I take pictures of the food I order.  I guess to me food is as important to the trip as anything else.  When I was in New Orleans, my friend Katie said, "You should make a blog about all the food you try."  I thought, "Hey, why not?"  So here I am, starting a blog about my adventures in food.  The first few entries will be retro ones about some of the places I really enjoyed in my last few adventures.  I also love to cook at home, so you'll see my end results, and I'll post the recipe I used too!  As I say above, I am in no means a professional food critic, so you're not going to get some hoity-toity critique that leaves you unsure as to whether the food was any good or not.  And when I come across tasty cocktails and wines, you'll hear about those too.  Guten Appetit!!  (That's German for "Enjoy your meal!!)
