I am making the trek to Philadelphia tomorrow morning for a much needed vacation and decided I must post before I leave. While I am going to see my friends and revisit my college years, on of my favorite things is going for THE FOOD.  I love food, and why yes I am writing this as I eat, chips and guacamole to be precise.  I have had the great pleasure of eating at some fabulous places around the world over the course of my  (short) lifetime and I thought it would be fun to share with you a few. 

Note:  I have been able to go to some fabulous restaurants that are very famous over the years, but these are my old standbys. 

Las Vegas: I have been to Vegas god knows how many times and have stayed in several, if not almost all of the big hotels there.  My favorite places to eat are the pizza shop in the New York, New York Hotel and Olives in The Bellagio.  My step-father swears that the steak house at Circus Circus has the best steak he has ever eaten.  But that could have been the drugs and the rock and roll lifestyle he used to have talking. 

Olives.  The patio is the place to eat if you can wait long enough.

Nashville:  I grew up here so I have many many favorites.  I don't think I could live without my meat and three or my morning biscuits.  Loveless Cafe is THE place to go.  You may of heard of the biscuit lady, and yes she does cook the biscuits.  I can honestly say I have met my fair share of Celebs in life and when I met her I acted like a 10 year old who was meeting the Jobros. haha.  If I ever get married and have an actual wedding, this will be where the food is from.  It is heaven.

New York:  The city for food.  I can say when you are a foodaholic like me it is very sad and hard to have to live off of PB&J.  You will often find me at Carmine's, Rosa Mexicana, Lupa or Famous Ray's.   Now thats THE Famous Ray's...not that chain you can find all over.  When I was interning a few summer's ago at a magazine in Hearst Tower we would take our sad selves over to Cancun  Mexican Restaurant on 8th Ave.  They did have some pretty good margarita's and a busy after work crowd.

Philadelphia: GENO'S!!!!!!!!! Ok, now that that is out of the way I can move onto my other favorite, The Continental Midtown.  Continental is one of the famous Stephan Starr restaurants and has amazing Tapas and Drinks.  I can honestly suggest any of his restaurants because they are all banging, but Continental has my heart.

If this seems like a popular blog post I'll update it with other cities and other restaurants.   If I keep going this will be a really really long post.
