Southern Swing-through
Brunch at Marche
In what’s seeming to be a new tradition for us, we traveled through St. Louis, Nashville, and Bristol after classes got out for the holiday break, to visit friends and family. (I recounted last year’s trip here.)
As usual, we ate a ton of food. Goodness, it was all so good! In St. Louis we had tapas at Modesto, doughnuts at World’s Fair Doughnuts, and brunch at SqWires, where I realized that I didn’t know how much I had been missing good biscuits. (On the to-do list: find a trusted recipe for biscuits.) We also had an amazing fig and prosciutto pizza made by friends.
In Nashville we ate at all our favorite places: Fido, The Wild Cow, Marche (twice!), and Crema (thrice!). We also stopped in Watertown to try out Nona Lisa Pizzeria, a newish place started up by a foodie friend. Nashvillians, it’s definitely worth the drive. Katie knows her food.

In Bristol we stopped by Pal’s and Blackbird Bakery, of course, but the best meal of all was the one prepared by my mom. She’s feeling great now and made all my favorite foods: green beans, corn, ham, mashed potatoes, pineapple casserole. She also made chocolate covered cherries and chocolate covered peanut butter balls, neither of which she’d made for a very long time. They were delicious and I came back with a tin full of them.
