Columbus Foodie

Ganked from Toni from Wifely Steps.

1. Favorite Comfort Food
Would have to be either pork and sauerkraut over mashed potatoes, or sauteed pork tenderloin with balsamic caramelized onions over mashed potatoes. Close second? Chicken pot pie (the PA Dutch kind with pot pie noodles, not the kind with pie crust).

2. Favorite Breakfast Meal
Hard boiled eggs with sea salt (2), buttered everything bagel, berry yogurt parfait.

3. Favorite Lunch Meal
Changes from time to time, but right now I’m on a Vietnamese kick, so it would be Pho Bo, and Banh mi Thit Bo from Lac Viet. If I’m at home? A nice salad, with romaine mix, shredded havarti, hard boiled eggs, thinly sliced red onions, garlic almonds, and honey-mustard dressing.

4. Favorite Dinner Meal
Depends on if I’m at home or if I’m out. If I’m at home, I like pasta with chicken and whatever veggies I have laying around. If I’m out, Indian buffet from Sher-E-Punjab.

5. Favorite Dessert
Salty Caramel Jeni’s Ice Cream or creme brulee.

6. Favorite Cake
If it’s homemade, it would have to be my mom’s New York Cheesecake. Out and about? Boca Negra cake from Omega Bakery.

7. Favorite Pasta
Meat ravioli from Carfagna’s.

8. Favorite Dish That Others Find Weird
Bone marrow dumplings.

9. Favorite Fruits That You Haven’t Eaten In A While
Oranges

10. Favorite Junkfood
Pizzeria Pretzel flavored Combos.

11. Favorite TV Show Related to Food (Cooking show, Travel show with food, etc.)
Alton Brown’s Good Eats. I love to learn the science behind food because it helps me become a better cook if I know what I’m doing. That, and Alton’s a hottie (I like nerdy guys, sue me).

12. Favorite Pastries
Apple turnovers from La Chatelaine. Chocolate pastries from Panera.

13. Favorite Way to Eat Potatoes
Stuffed with onion into a pierogie which is sauteed in butter with even more onions until browned.

15. Favorite Alcoholic Drink When You Really Really Really Want to Party If I’m going for potency? Liquid heroin - 1 shot Rumpleminze, 1 shot Bacardi 151, 1 shot Jagermeister. My usual drink? Hairy Navel (OJ, vodka, Peachtree).

16. Favorite Bar Chow
Anything on the menu at Betty’s or Surly Girl Saloon.

17. Favorite Chicken Dish
Chicken piccata or chicken makhni curry.

18. Favorite Place to Eat with Your Sweetheart or Your Best Friend (Choose 1)
We tend to keep returning to Cap City Fine Diner over and over again, so I guess that is our choice. Or Starliner.

19. Favorite Place to Eat with your Family
As a group, we usually go to Buca di Beppo.
