Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I'm a very loyal fan of Hellmann's and will never ever ever use Kraft. Never tried Duke's but I guess I'll have to in the name of mayogate research. I'll throw another one in the mix with Bama Mayonnaise. That's my true favorite, but hard to find in TN.
Re: “Whiskey Wednesday: Angel's Envy Rye — In a Word ... Wow!”
@Ryan O - I've confirmed Divine Wine & Spirits still has a few bottles, but Stones River is now out, although they do have a nice selection of Rye in general (among other things).
Re: “Restaurant Matriarch Mary 'Eva' Varallo Dies at 96”
It is mostly, if not all beans. But has a good flavor; however, if you like alot of hamburger in your chili then I would eat something else for lunch. Everything I have ever eaten there is delicious.
Re: “Amerigo Wine Tasting Series: Still the Best Deal in Town”
Great article. I absolutely believe to the statement, "You never know until you try" especially when we talk about wines. Wine tasting is indeed some great event. For me, this is one of the most interesting parts in the world of winery. Enjoying the fruit of the vines is amazing. Thanks for sharing this very interesting post!

Re: “Burger Republic to Open in the Gulch”
I've been to the one in Lenox Village a few times and the burgers were quite tasty. I especially enjoyed the shakes with alcohol. Looking forward to the Gulch location.
Re: “A Big Week for the Peg Leg Porker”
Really excited about his restaurant. I have got to get myself to Memphis in May. It's a shame that I've never been!
Re: “Go Get a Goo Goo ... at Fontanel!”
im really excited about this addition. for those of you who have not eaten at the restaurant please give it a try. its lovely and quiet but not fancy or expensive. i love the food there and they have a very nice quiet friendly happy hour. the trails are very pretty and shady and its a great place to take your dog friends! i really hope that this area continues to grow as a destination. i cant wait to see the new bed and breakfast that they are building that will be a design house prior to opening as a b and b.
Re: “Burger Republic to Open in the Gulch”
I live very close to the original Burger Republic and frequent it quite often. The owner Drew is a really nice, friendly guy and I'm glad to see they're doing well enough to open a second location. I'm a big fan of their burgers and the beer selection is always tip top.
Re: “Look Sharp With Edges at Nashville Farmers' Market”
Hone your knife constantly and you'll rarely need to grind new edges on them. This has more to do with a blade "holding" it's edge than anything.
Re: “More Local Chefs Added to Music City Eats Roster and Featured at Atlanta Wine & Food Festival”
Just wish Nashville would have ticket options like Atlanta and Charleston have. With only having two, $275 and $500, I guess this festival is more for people coming into town or ones with some really good babysitters.
Re: “More Local Chefs Added to Music City Eats Roster and Featured at Atlanta Wine & Food Festival”
Was this not clear enough, MC1?
"Tickets to the Tasting Tents run $100 for a one-day visit, or you can buy a full pass to the festival for $500 that includes admission to nine seminars, three days of tasting tents and the Pig Out: Tailgate Style event. As you can see, this puts the Music City Eats pricing pretty much in line with Atlanta and other similar festivals. When you consider that you receive three days of food, drink, information, entertainment and the chance to rub shoulders with so many of your favorite chefs in one place, either festival (or both) is a splurge well worth considering."
While these festivals are great for locals, and I hope lots of folks avail themselves of the opportunities, it's important that a big part of these events are as a travel destination for out-of-towners. I imagine that's one reason why the Nashville CVB has taken an active (and financial) participatory role in MCE. When I pay to attend a festival in another town, I consider the expense that it would cost to get essentially a weekend's worth of food and how difficult and expensive it would be for me to sample 20-30 different local chefs' food in all of their restaurants in another town. Then I make up my mind if it's worth the expense, and I hope others will take that under consideration before they just say it's ridiculously expensive. (Heck, it's only like 15 bowls of ramen. /ducks flying bowl)
Re: “More Local Chefs Added to Music City Eats Roster and Featured at Atlanta Wine & Food Festival”
Any article about Music City Eats should mention that, to attend, it costs between $275 and $500 per person.
Re: “Whiskey Wednesday: Angel's Envy Rye — In a Word ... Wow!”
wow, thanks for the tip! i thought the restaurants snatched up all the local allocation. thank you, thank you, thank you.
Re: “Whiskey Wednesday: Angel's Envy Rye — In a Word ... Wow!”
Stones River Total Beverage in Murfreesboro and Divine Wine and Spirits in Smyrna both carry it regularly. Maybe you need to make a Rutherford County field trip!

Re: “Whiskey Wednesday: Angel's Envy Rye — In a Word ... Wow!”
do tell where you have been able to find it, i've never seen it in stock at any of the big places like midtown, frugal, or grace's.
Re: “Whiskey Wednesday: Angel's Envy Rye — In a Word ... Wow!”
I haven't had any problem finding Rittenhouse...
Re: “The Weekly Open Thread Proposes a Moratorium on Reclaimed Barnwood”
I tried Humdingers recently too. I wasn't expecting to like it but I really liked that piri piri sauce. It's got some noticeable heat which I didn't expect but very tolerable if you can handle something like hot chicken. I substituted the rice for grilled zucchini. The Zucchini was really good as well. Interestingly enough, they sliced it length-wise, which was cool I guess.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
You've got mayonnaise people and mustard people and seldom do they meet or agree condimentation. I'm a mustard people and would rather set my chest on fire than eat mayo of any type. Mayo on french fries, that's disgusting, no way to start a day.
Heavily infused horse radish mustard....MAN!!! Thats a condiment!!!!
