Re: “Open Thread Asks: What Items Do You Seek Out at Farmers Markets?”
Jim, if Betty Joe's if half as good as Boscoli's Olives, I'm heading there tomorrow. Love me some Boscoli's. Have you tried the Jalapeño version?
I usually go to farmers markets for the fruits and veggies but am always coming home with something else.

Deja vu all over again. I need to change my tags.
Re: “Open Thread Asks: What Items Do You Seek Out at Farmers Markets?”
Mostly I seek out fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables and meats. The sections with other goods are interesting but, not my main draw. But, if Frank Sheen is there again this weekend selling guitars there may be one with my name on it...
Re: “Open Thread Asks: What Items Do You Seek Out at Farmers Markets?”
I actually make my around to several markets. I was just at the Nashville Farmers Market to get The Peach Truck Peaches and some local strawberries. You can also find Common Ground breads (incl gluten free made with garbanzo bean flour) there on Fridays.
And I've long been a fan of Karla's at WNFM. I will sometimes get some Noble Springs and/or Kenny's cheese and asparagus and French breakfast radishes (from Foggy Hollow) while I'm there. Er, this time of year, that is.
Re: “Husk Nashville Opens Tonight”
Is that true, John Hardy? I would think that maybe the chicory could possibly be local, but I imagine the coffee has to be imported and then roasted in Louisiana. Community Coffee is a huge company and I've never heard of any massive coffee plantations down there?
Any coffee experts out there know the skinny (latte) on this one?

Eggs don't have casein
Re: “Husk Nashville Opens Tonight”
@TobintheGnome Community Coffee is grown in Louisiana.
Re: “Husk Nashville Opens Tonight”
Hey Tob, guess they shouldn't serve any bourbon made with corn from the midwest and probably should take all scotch off the shelves.

Egg fight!
Re: “Husk Nashville Opens Tonight”
As I understand it, Husk only uses ingredients grown or raised in the Southeast.
If they serve coffee (which they may not) I wonder where in the Southeast its grown.
Re: “Husk Nashville Opens Tonight”
Bar opens at 4. So can you have a drink and order a first (app) at the bar?
Re: “The Duke's Table: Eat Like Vegetarian Italian Royalty”
No. No, no, no. Organic eggs from healthy chickens on GMO-free feed have shown in many studies to prevent heart disease. They contain healthful amounts of protein, vitamin B, omega-3 fatty acids, and many nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin.

Clinical studies have found that casein, a protein in all dairy products, blocks the absorption of antioxidants and renders them useless to our body. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nutrient-b…

Re: “Whiskey Wednesday: Angel's Envy Rye — In a Word ... Wow!”
John Galt - I would love to know where you tried being as it isn't even available ANYWHERE in Tennessee yet. Kinda sounds like a grumpy comment from someone who can't even truly attest to the taste.......... - I was lucky enough to be sent a sample bottle and I have to agree with Chris - This stuff is absolutely ridiculously good!! It is only going to be available in very very limited quantities so grab a bottle if you see one.
Re: “Whiskey Wednesday: Angel's Envy Rye — In a Word ... Wow!”
They're all talking about Rittenhouse, John G. I'm probably the only commenter who's had it besides you and warned: "If you're an absolute purist about your whiskeys, this may not be the one for you because you might be put off by the almost gingerbready character."
Different tastes for different folks...

Re: “Whiskey Wednesday: Angel's Envy Rye — In a Word ... Wow!”
Did any of you actually try it?
I did yesterday and I cannot say that I could have been happy to spend $10 for this particular bottle, never mind $70. The taste is almost like some kid added different kinds of candies to an OK bottle of cheap whiskey.
Not a fan, in the least, but am a fan of their Bourbon and of other high end ryes.
This is just a bad combination of flavors.
Re: “Open Thread Asks: What Items Do You Seek Out at Farmers Markets?”
It hasn't gotten warm enough just yet but for me farmers markets = tomatoes. A beautiful blood red tomato with a little salt and coarse black pepper.
Also salsas. I eat a disgusting amount of salsa. Nashville has a some great offerings. Ousley Ouch and Toney's Naturals are favorites. I also really like Johnny Howell's salsa.
