The subject of this week's dining review is Mark Bittman, the New York Times food writer and author of Food Matters. Bittman will be at MTSU on Nov. 10 to speak about his book, which focuses on the connections between food policy, health and the environment.

During my phone interview with Bittman, who was charming, I tried to convince him to stick around Middle Tennessee at least long enough to grab a meal. I had a couple of suggestions of places to eat between downtown Nashville and the Murfreesboro campus, but where would you have recommended?

Between Nashville and murfreesboro? For Bittman. Uh. Gosh. That's not intimidating, although they say he eats everything. P.S. Noodle Pot? Five Senses? Kleer-Vu?

Omni Hut in Smyrna? (For the ambience.)

I was lobbying for Martin's, but Omni Hut would be memorable.

ACK! I didn't know about this! How can I get into this? I LOVE Bittman!!!
And I'd be happy to take him to the Noodle House in La Vergne. Pogo, you in?

Oh, so I clicked through to the link. Funny, he didn't list this even on his Facebook page (told you I was a fan...).

Bet he'd eat at Omni Hut if Gwyneth Paltrow were going.

I don't think that's what Omnivore means.
