the eatin' is good

to make your mouth water . . . here are some highlights of what we've had to eat so far:

chicago: morton's steak house: ahi tuna with ginger-miso sauce
also chicago, adobo grill: huachinango (red snapper) that richard said was the best he had ever had. i had pork medallions with a deep black mole sauce that was strong, intense and really good.

nashville, at Bricktop's (recommended by Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler!): bbq chicken flatbread that was so good, the three of us sucked it up in seconds. i had a filet that was mouthwatering tender and the guys had sea bass with a ginger sauce.
nashville at Boundry: this was a tapas place, but we didn't go crazy. we did, however, have delicious shrimp and grits (holly! they were calling out to you!), and delicious pecan crusted trout.

memphis: rendezvous bbq place: bbq pork ribs with a dry rub, then add your own bbq sauce in hot or hotter.
memphis for lunch - a tacky little place with great fried catfish (not at all greasy) and hush puppies.

Hope you enjoyed your time in Nashville. I like the Boundry, but it's been awhile since I've been there.

And the music is good here, even if you don't like country. Next time, check out music at the Basement or the Bluebird Cafe.
