New Project

So, Clare and I (and by Clare and I, I mean just me)have just come up with a new project for this blog. Besides our random posts, we are also going to record every new Nashvillian restaurant we try this semester, and review our experiences.

I'll start with two I visited this weekend:

1. The Copper Kettle.

I think this restaurant is all about expectations - the website makes it seem like more of an upscale, sit-down restaurant than it actually is. While there are tables and chairs, the food is served cafeteria-style, and resembles my great-grandmother's nursing home cafe a little too much for my liking...

So, you can imagine my surprise when we walked in and were expecting a nice dinner. However, the food actually turned out to be good, and they had a wide variety of southern style food at decent prices. So, all about expectations.

2. Star Bagel

I just went for the first time this weekend, but have heard about it for a while now. 5 STARS. My bacon, egg and cheese breakfast bagel was delicious, and the atmosphere was even better - the perfect saturday morning breakfast spot - lots of people drinking coffee post - exercise, and many families who had walked over from their nearby neighborhoods. It was a great escape.

That's all for now...
