Are foodies Democrats or Republicans?

I'm a registered Democrat, but I believe in voting for who I think would be the best leader for this great country of ours. That doesn't always mean it would be a Democrat, but this time that is definately the case! I have voted Republican in the past....Reagan.. years ago.
Just please everyone.....VOTE!! It is so IMPORTANT! If you don't vote...keep your mouth shut and don't even try to talk politics with me.

What do foodies do?

In the past, I've always worked in either the entertainment industry (musician) or in Sales. I am now the happy owner of a small little catering company in Nashville. I only work smaller events because I want to keep it focused more on quality and fun. I don't want to turn my love of food into a chore!!

Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain

Tom Collicio to Prom (he'd definately photograph better) but for sure Tony for the After Prom. But, I'd be the Designated Driver!!

Good eats from Costco?

The Pot Stickers in the Frozen Food section are so easy and Delicious! They make any housewarming or holiday get together really festive and smart. Not your every day finger food. Make a dipping sauce with some soy sauce, mirren, rice wine vinegar,freshly grated ginger, scallions and a little chili oil ( if you want some heat). Good, good, good!

Is there any such thing as summer comfort food?

Long, slow, smoked Pork butt, potato salad, smokey and sweet baked beans, creamy cole slaw and a big glass of sweet tea. Now that sounds like Southern Comfort Food to me!!

More Golden Clog Award Fallout

I LOVE Tyler FLorence and I enjoy Tony Bourdain. I would rather spend the day with Tony and the night with.....well you get it. Either way I'd get a great meal!!

Anthony Bourdain, I AM NOT SOUTHERN

I think I've learned more about different cultures from watching Tony than any other shows on TV. Because I care about and am interested iin food, I will sit and watch and really learn something. Not only does he discuss the food of the region, he also shows us their customs, religious rites and real people from the area. Tony Bourdain doesn't have to be in your living room....if you like his show, watch it. If you don't like it turn to the Food Network and nobody will offend you there.

The Next Food Network Star Season Finale

I starting "rooting" for Aaron about midway thru the competition. It was a really close match up of talent, but for me it came down to who I would rather watch and be "entertained" by. Aaron is the best fit for the newest lineup of Foodnetwork Celeb chefs. Last year, Amy beat out Rory because of the audience vote and then fell flat when it came to personality for the screen. No doubt she's a talented cook...not so much someone I'd set the Tevo for. I also think that by airing "Big Daddy's Kitchen" directly after the competion will keep viewers interested and not forgetting why they cared in the first place, 6 months after the fact. I'm a fan, Big Daddy...Good Luck!

Beer Cola-Can Chicken

The flavored juice drinks in the Mexican section at the supermarket are also a good choice. They come in a can (like Colas) and in flavors like Peach, Nectar, Pear, etc. The Nectar is great with a brown sugar based rub. Gotta love the looks of that chicken sitting up there getting all pretty!!!
SCHLURP!!!!!!!!

Good Eats in San Antonio?

Mi Tierra in the old market square is great for authentic Mexican food. Great place to shop for souveniers also.

Best Breakfast in Nashville

I live in Nashville and if you are looking for a real Nashville tradition...check out Pancake Pantry on 21st (near Vanderbilt University). Get there early cause there is always a line and almost always a famous face or two on the weekends!!

About Comfortcook

Website: http://www.comfortcook.blogspot.com

Location: Nashville TN

About: I've been cooking for a hundred years, seems like. I get great pleasure from watching people eat my food. I'd rather eat a dozen "small Bites" of a dozen different foods than sit down to a big formal dinner.

Favorite foods: Fresh vegetables, Pork, Beef, Cheeses, good home cooking, sushi, Italian, mediterranean, Olives, tomatoes,REAL Mexican, Tex-Mex and Pizza

Last bite on earth: Probably someting with pork...BBQ or roasted. And I'd have some cheeses and a big romaine salad with Bleu Cheese dressing on the side.
And a strawberry. And a piece of Chicago Deep Dish pizza with a side order of Italian Beef.
