This Saturday morning is a little sweeter for these rising 4th year residents as they finish their last junior call night as a team. They have seen over 6000 consults in the last 2 years and we couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and dedication to patient care.

Have you watched Somebody Feed Phil? We are still spending a lot of time in front of the tv and stumbled across this @netflix series starring, @philrosenthal, the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond. Despite his lack of (sometimes) table manners, Phil travels around the world and explores the food, people, and sights of beautiful cities. And we take notes. For when we explore again-someday. 🍽 🎒📺
In the Dublin episode, Phil met these twins (📸@thehappypear) at their vegan cafe. And if or when I get to Ireland, this place is on my list.

Happy Sunday, Happy Flag Day🇺🇸

One day, as he prepped and cooked at his catering

One day, as he prepped and cooked at his catering job, Al “had a lightbulb moment. I realized my boss believed in me more than I believed in myself. And that’s the day I decided to start my own business.”
🍳
Several years ago, Al scraped together “tables from Goodwill and refrigerators from an old strip joint.” And then he opened his unassuming spot filled with Southern comfort food. “I was desperate, I was broke, and I had to start making money. My little pile of rainy day money—my nest egg I was never going to touch—was gone. So I opened up around the 4th of July. And nobody came. I mean nobody was here.”
🍳
If his ship sank, the single dad’s son and daughter would go down with him. 🍳
“So I kept praying. Gradually people slowly trickled in. I was happy if I had 10 customers a day for breakfast and lunch. One day, three police officers came in, had breakfast, talked to me. Asked if I was running numbers. What??!! NO!! Turns out, this location had a bad reputation, and people were staying away.”
🍳
Al struggled for a couple of years, and then a string of “God things blessed me. I cooked on some tv shows, was featured on a travel channel, some magazines and newspapers did stories about me, and people found me through word of mouth. Companies started calling me to cater. Big Al’s took a giant step in the right direction.” 🍳
“The tourists found out about me, and I miss them. My business is way down without them now.”
🍳
Big Al’s Deli, tucked into a quiet street in a gentrified neighborhood, “is in a tough location. You don’t just drive by and see it. But I don’t want bigger and fancier and the extra money that goes with it. Once you get behind, you never catch up.”
🍳
He’s had “trouble getting support from the neighborhood, but I don’t hold it against them. The last 10 days neighbors have finally stopped by. And I appreciate that. I appreciate them supporting my black-owned business. I hope they come back.”
🍳

Hello summer! And a good time for a reminder. Nico

I love to experiment in the kitchen, and I was thrilled to review this cookbook! 👩‍🍳🥘
Author, restauranteur, rancher, and community food advocate @meeemccormick is a warm and welcoming new friend as she dishes out the science behind the farm-grown foods we should eat to reduce inflammation, heal our guts, and increase our overall health. The best part? Even if you don’t have food sensitivities or digestive issues, you will love the recipes in this beautiful cookbook—and the stories behind them.
👩‍🍳🥘
Mee, struggling with several health problems, runs a restaurant on her family farm in tiny Pinewood, TN. She serves up “consideration and empathy” and caters to those who suffer from disrupted systems and food allergies. And that’s a real thing. 👩‍🍳🥘
As a health fanatic, I devoured the first two portions of the book. Mee focuses on her superfoods list and how they balance each other to keep our bodies running like finely-tuned machines. It was interesting to learn the steps Mee takes to guarantee the food her family grows—and serves—is packed with vitamins and minerals. 👩‍🍳🥘
I’m working my way through the cookbook’s third section—the delicious “Mee-ified” healthy recipes. Blueberry Almond Salad, Ground Beef Stroganoff, Chicken Piccata. Tasty, cleaned-up comfort food. Who knew chicken thighs, when roasted with rosemary and purple potatoes, create a bioactive feast? And Mee makes it easy to substitute ingredients according to health issues (or none), personal taste, or pantry stock. 👩‍🍳🥘
As soon as the world reopens, I can’t wait to drive to @pinewoodkitchenandmercantile, about an hour outside of Nashville. I’ll have a meal, maybe stroll around the farm, hopefully say “hi” to Mee. In the meantime, I’ll continue to experiment and cook from her book!
👩‍🍳🥘
Thanks to @netgalley and HCI Publishing for sending me this galley to review. (My #NewThingForToday)

I made an appointment at Nashville's first zero waste store, grabbed a couple of old dishwashing liquid containers, and met Megan at The Good Fill. I came home with body wash and lotion, but I’ll be back for dishwashing soap and window cleaner and laundry detergent. It felt good to take a small step toward reducing trash and plastic and packaging AND support a local shop. I came home smiling. Does your city have a zero waste store? #NewThingForToday
