Stoney River 11-09






My dad and I went out to dinner at Stoney River before attending the Guy Fieri Road Show at TPAC. For our appitizer we had homemade potato chips with blue cheese sauce.
You might think blue chese is gross, but it really isn't. It's just a little strong.
For my entree I had a steak. As my side I had caramalized onion mashed potatos. They were delicous! My dad had a deconstructed crab cake and fried lobster tail. It was a special. Stoney River is a great resturant!

Until next time, think beyond chicken fingers!

Hot Diggity Dogs 10-09...











Today I went to Hot Diggity Dogs. The building is very tiny. When you walk in you are greeted by the friendly staff of three.
Next, you are told about all of the hot dogs. After that you choose your dog. You can choose whether you want it steamed or grilled. I got a grilled Carobama. It has slaw, onions, chili, and mustard. They all went so good together! My dad got a classic Chicago dog that has relish, mustard, tomato, sport peppers, cucumber, pickle, and celery salt. He said he LOVED it.
As good as the dogs are, the french fries may be the star of the show! They are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they have just the right amount of salt.
Next time you're in downtown Nashville, you have to give this spot a try. It gets this critic's top rating (5 dogs!!!).
Until next time, think beyond chicken fingers!

Finezza Restaurant 10-09...
















To celebrate our Fall break at school, we went to one of our favorite local Italian restaurants, Finezza. I'll tell you what we had, and how we all liked our food here.
We started with Italian soda and a nice, fresh loaf of bread, which came with Olive Oil, Fresh Parmesan, and Sun-dried tomato butter.
For our entrees we had the two pasta dishes pictured here. I had the Pasta Primavera with Alfredo, and my brother had the Flag of Italy Pasta with a creamy pesto sauce. They were both delicious and fresh tasting, and the portions were just the right size for a couple of hungry kids.
Our favorite thing to eat at Finezza is the daily cannoli special. In the past we've had Oreo, Heath Bar and a couple of others. Tonight the special cannoli was the M&M version. Yum!!!!! The mascarpone filling is always soft and delicious, and the M&M's and sauces were just great.
We love Finezza because of the great food and service. I highly recommend you give it a try.
Until next time, remember, think beyond chicken fingers!
