At Monell's...Sharing is Caring!

Monell's

Dish:  Field Peas

Critique:  The Hotness has been on this pea protein kick so she thought it was fitting that she up her pea game by eating Monell’s fresh peas.  Although peas are not The Hotness favorite vegetable, after tasting Monell’s unique field pea recipe, she became a pea fan!  That’ right…we’re not ashamed!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!











Dish:  Green Beans, Corn Pudding, & Pulled Pork

Green Beans

Critique:  We have to admit that we were not prepared for Monell’s family style buffet- it consists of possibly sitting next to a perfect stranger while grubbing! Say what?  Omg! Once we got used to the set-up we didn’t care who sat next to us as we stuffed our faces.  Once the food arrived, the instructions were:  “Take what you like out of the dish and pass it to the left.”  Sorry, there’s no pictures of the piping hot fried chicken- no one was willing to wait for Sweetly to take pictures…they wanted that chicken!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!

Corn Pudding

Pulled Pork

Dish:  Banana Pudding

Banana Pudding

Critique: Some of the best banana pudding in Nashville!  Bananas-check!  Pudding-check! Plenty of vanilla wafers-check!  The Hotness wanted to keep the bowl all to herself, but knew her life would be in jeopardy LOL!  She quickly took ten scoops and passed the bowl to the left :-)

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!

The Battle of Sweetness Takes Place at The Capital Grille

The Capital Grille

Dish:  Clam Chowder

Critique:  Since Sweetly is from Boston, she is the designated Clam Chowder specialist.  Sweetly wished the potatoes were less firm but The Hotness thought the chowder was perfect the way it was.  The Hotness is the clam chowder queen!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!






Dish:  Salmon with Polenta & The Angus Cheeseburger

Critique:  Both dishes were exquisitely delicious.  Between the fantastic salmon and the wonderful cheeseburger, The Hotness could not contain her glee as she devoured every.single.bite.  Yeah Babe!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!












Dish:  Cheesecake & Espresso Chocolate Cake

Critique: In this dessert battle, it’s cheesecake vs. chocolate espresso cake!  Who won this Battle of Sweetness?  To be honest, we couldn’t decide!  The creaminess of each dessert was outstanding and unbelievable.  If you ever find yourself in Dessert Heaven at the Capital Grille, treat yourself to both!  You deserve it!

Score:  4 Out of 4 Hotties!
