Welcome to The Road, my column in which I'm going to attempt — key word: attempt — to eat at every non-chain restaurant on Nolensville Pike between I-440 and the county line. I'll readily admit that even though I live right off Nolensville — Paragon Mills represent! — and revel in the diversity and quantity of its eateries, I have barely scratched the surface of what the strip has to offer. But now I'm going to rectify that, and hopefully you'll join for what's likely to be a wild ride.
Episode 28: Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet

OK folks, serious question: Where do frog legs fall on that pesky pescetarian scale? Do they count as fish (food-wise, not biology-wise of course) or do they fall into the “meat” category with the rest of the surface dwelling food stuffs? I didn't think about this at all before tucking into 'em at Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet. I'm currently trying to reduce the meat in my diet, and I've never had to consider where and how amphibians fit into the scheme. (I'm usually not on a special diet, and I usually don't encounter steam pans full of frog legs.)
Not that I care at this point, the frog legs are eaten, and the diet is pretty much shot for the day. I mean a “cleansing diet” is no match for a supreme buffet.
