I am fortunate to be a member of the Nashville chapter of Entrepreneur’s Organization or “EO” for short. It is a fantastic group of men and women entrepreneurs and a great way to learn how to run businesses and grow as people.

Anyway, we had this great event last night called “Movable Feast”. The idea is that the group would have appetizers at one place, salads at another and then entrees at another - followed by an after party. We also would have different people at our table each stop so that everyone would get a chance to mingle with different members and spouses at each stop.

We started out at one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville - Watermark. We had a couple of excellent appetizers that included carpaccio, calamari, shrimp and fried lemons of all things (yum) with some great wine pairings by my favorite Sommolier - Justin Maestas. Excellent as usual. Next we trollied over to Radius10 for an excellent baby greens salad with goat cheese and a lemon garlic vinaigrette, along with some more fabulous wines.

Finally, we made our way back to Sambuca for the main course. We had the choice of a Gorgonzola topped Filet, Sea Bass, a Chicken thing and one other which I cannot recall. So, I went with the Filet and had a great glass of Penfolds Thomas Hyland Shiraz to go along with it - great combo.

To wind the evening down, everyone headed to BarTwenty3 for cocktails and catching up with everyone. BarTwenty3 is very cool - the kind of place that feels like you’re in a chic club in L.A. or New York.

A great time was had by all. A big thanks to the committee - Clay Blevins, Tim McMullen, Arnie & Anne Malham, Carissa Pereira and Sameera Lowe! Awesome event - great night!

I am a foodie. Having grown up in Louisiana, I really love a good meal. Having just returned from the LSU-S. Carolina game, we made a point to stop by Drago’s Seafood Restaurant in Metarie, LA before heading to the New Orleans airport.

Now I have been fortunate to taste some great things in my life. But, their Charbroiled Oysters are right at the top of the list. After polishing off a half-dozen raw oysters, I proceeded to devour 2 dozen of these scrumptious treats. They are loaded with garlic, butter and herbs - then topped off with Parmesan cheese.

I was so anticipating this lunch that I told everyone at the table that under no circumstances were they getting a taste from me. If they wanted some, they better order them! They had been warned.

I think that I still smell like garlic and it was 24 hours ago. For those of you who don’t know it - garlic is the second most popular flavor after cayenne pepper in New Orleans cuisine.
