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!

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.
