 Pizza has always been a favorite of mine because it’s convenient, filling, and delicious. Typically I order it when I need something quick but I also opt for it when a restaurant is known for their delicious pies. While I often choose chain names such as Papa John’s and Domino’s for most of my orders, sometimes I look to other brands because sometimes you find a pie that beats theirs. Such examples are MAFIAoZA’s, Big Daddy’s Pizzeria, and Old Chicago. When Haley’s sister, Carleigh, came to visit last month, I saw it as an opportune time to try Michaelangelo’s …

 Having recently moved to a new area of Nashville, one of the most difficult challenges is to find a good place to eat. While chains and/or fast food restaurants are always endlessly abundant no matter where you go, sometimes you just want to eat at a local restaurant. Even with the abundance of web-based reviews, it is still hard to make a decision and many times you find that the reviews themselves are either lacking in availability, are somewhat biased, or are fake “fluff” reviews made by the owner & their friends. That’s what Haley and I ran into …

 Over the past decade, I’ve experienced the joy of dining at churrascarias (Brazilian steakhouses) on multiple occasions across the United States. They are, in my opinion, one of the best places to eat if you have any love for fire-roasted meats.

It’s been almost five years since Nashville had a churrascaria to grace its presence. The last one that in the area was Fire of Brazil, which lasted for about 2 years and finally closing its doors in …

 I’m not going to lie. I knew about Las Paletas for a while now, even before I was a Tennessee resident almost two years ago. I distinctly remember when I first read about it on the Internet (Trip Advisor to be exact). I accompanied Haley for a trip to Nashville for a job interview and while interviewing, I tried my hardest to find Las Paletas (which at the time didn’t have a store sign) but I never found it… that is until just a few weeks ago when I ran in the half marathon with Haley. I’m very disappointed …

 In the recent weeks, I’ve started hearing a lot about a hamburger restaurant called Burger Up located in 12th Avenue South area of Nashville. Words like “upscale” and “fancy” usually accompanied the description I heard from others. To most, that phrase might seem strange when describing a hamburger restaurant but not to me… late last fall I got the opportunity to dine at one of the true gourmet burger joints called Flip Burger Boutique. Since Flip Burger Boutique was now my new benchmark for upscale burgers, I was intrigue on how Burger Up would stack up to the competition.
