September 25, 2011 by 510foodie No Comments
If I lived in Seattle, I would have a lot to write about. My four days on holiday in Seattle were full of great places to eat. I could write about Russian Piroshki at Piroshky Piroshky, chowder at Pike Place Chowder, or one of the seven stops we made during our gourmet food tour by...

Last week a friend of mine and I took a four day trip to Seattle, Washington. They say August and September are the best months to visit. We had planned to see some Dale Chihuly art, watch a Mariners game, and eat, of course! Eat is what we did and we did it well. Seattle...

Nashville Highlights: Part II

March 9, 2011 by 510foodie No Comments
Memphis is known to have some of the best bbq in the world. Being that I was three hours away from Memphis, it didn’t look likely I would get any Memphis style bbq on this trip.  Lucky for me, I found that one of the three bbq joints opened by Pat and Gina Neely was...
