I Try One of Everything at Salt City Market (Part 2)

Remember like 3 weeks ago when I did a write-up of a food hall in my hometown, guaranteed to attract the attention of like, 2 people?  Well, it’s time for more of that! 

Attempt #1

While there wasn’t a line outside this time, the market itself seemed just as busy as it was the day after the grand opening.  I also tried to make a point to take in more of the decor, but I don’t think I really have anything new to add other than the fact that I watched not one but two people struggle to stuff the big paper bags their food came in into the trendy, tiny-opening trash cans.  More importantly, I forgot that like, half of the stands are closed on Mondays, meaning I would have to come back another time to finish my quest. 

ERMA’S ISLAND- Jerk Pork (half portion)- $10

I want to say right off the bat that of all the things I’ve tried from this market, this was hands down the best smelling.  And thankfully, the pork pretty much tasted as good as it smelled.  It was tender and juicy, and the sauce was complex, with a good amount of heat that didn’t overpower the other flavors.  The rice and beans that it came with, on the other hand, was a little bland, but that’s nothing that mixing the sauce into can’t fix.  

Unfortunately, I can never show my face there again, because when the cashier asked me if I wanted the half or whole portion, I said “Yeah,” and made her repeat herself like 3 times.

MAMMA HAI- “Marco Polo” Banh Mi- $10

Yes, that’s pepperoni on a banh mi.

The roll was nice and crusty, and to be honest, that’s like 90% of what makes a good sandwich for me.  Unfortunately, the pickled veggies and cilantro (and this blog is pro-cilantro, get over yourselves, haters) sort of overpowered the pepperoni and the char siu pork, which is a shame because I wanted that pepperoni to shine.  If this was a $5 banh mi, I wouldn’t have a problem with that, but at $10 I would have liked a little more meat, or at least for the already existing meat to make its presence felt.  The pate and mayo kinda also get lost, but do present a bit of richness in about every other bite (and, for another controversial sandwich opinion, I don’t necessarily think that every bite of a sandwich has to have an even distribution of everything, otherwise the flavors sort of just blur together after a while).  Overall, it’s a fairly decent sandwich, but left me longing for something more.  They also have a curry chicken banh mi, maybe that one has a better balance of flavor.

CAKE BAR- Locus Cake- $6.50

One thing about Cake Bar that isn’t made apparent by looking at their stand is that, according to their website, it’s meant to resemble a Vietnamese cafe.  In hindsight, this kinda explains the wide variety of specialty teas (specialteas, if you will) they also had available.

The chocolate cake was moist and had little crispy bits running throughout it.  At first, I thought it was eggshells, because I’m an idiot and always assume the worst.  After picking out an especially large chunk, I realized it was broken up bits of Biscoff cookies! (Further research has shown me that the parent company that makes Biscoff cookies is called Locus, thus, y’know, the name of the cake.  Probably should have put that together sooner, it literally says “Locus” on the cookie, one of which was lodged into the top of the cake.)  The buttercream was surprisingly light, and the caramel on top had the perfect consistency, gooey enough to stay put but not so gooey that it turned into a stringy mess after running your fork through it.  The only negative thing I really have to say about the all-around experience was that the box they used made it kind of difficult to get the slice out of it (as you can see, I ended up just tearing the sides up).

Attempt #2 

Since the market is relatively close to my work, I figured I would drop by after work one day to bang out the rest of the list.

BAGHDAD RESTAURANT- Beef Shawarma- $6.99

At first, I laughed to myself upon seeing it in one of those gas station sub bags.  The laughing faded pretty quickly, though, upon seeing it was, in fact served on a sub roll. I'm not a shawarma expert. maybe that can be an acceptable way to eat it? The beef was well spiced and that perfect sweet spot between tender and still having something to sink your teeth into.  Unfortunately, that’s more or less where my compliments end.  What little sauce the menu promised (just called “sauce,” don’t ask me what it is) has soaked into the bread and completely disappeared, making the whole thing somewhat dry and lackluster.  Also, they didn’t cut it, which was fine with the heartier banh mi’s baguette but with the softer sub roll didn’t have the structural integrity to be picked up whole without a struggle.  My biggest gripe with it is mostly on me, though, as the juice from the pickles tainted most of it with pickle stank, which could have been avoided entirely if I had just ordered it without.  

SOULUTIONS- Mustard and Berbere Fried Chicken ($6) and FIRE MAC ($4)

(Note- the $6 order of chicken comes with 2 of these chicken cutlets, but I carelessly ate one before taking the picture.)

I do want to clear the air here and say that yes, I did accidentally order fried chicken and mac and cheese from both of the soul food places.  I was originally going to get the burger, at my friend’s recommendation, but the menu board by the register suspiciously didn’t have the burger on it, so I panicked and ordered the fried chicken again.  

While the breading was stained yellow from mustard, the honey mustard taste was very subtle.  I also have to admit to not knowing off the top of my head what berbere (I had to google it, it’s an Ethiopian spice blend) tastes like, so i can't tell you if this tasted like that.  But, despite not being especially strong in either of the namesake seasonings, it definitely is a flavorful piece of chicken nonetheless.  Flavors work that way sometimes.

The Fire Mac may not have delivered as strongly on cheese as I may have liked, but it definitely did deliver on the fire, drizzled with a tangy buffalo-esque sauce.  And Topped with crumbled bits of fried chicken skins? Can’t go wrong with that.

JUICE AND FLOWERS- “Root | 12” Juice- $8

Misleading name, I didn’t see any flowers anywhere.  Zero stars. 

The beet and lemon were the most pronounced of the flavors, with the ginger lingering on the palate and, unsurprisingly, the apple and carrot mostly being there to round the whole thing out.  The employee that waited on me was very passionate and knowledgeable about the juice, informing me that 2 pounds of produce had gone into this little bottle, and that it’d have a shelf life of 3-5 days.  Which is good, because I put it back in the fridge after I got home to chill it back down, and then proceeded to forget about it for 3 days.  It’s also a very thick and hearty juice, so it doesn’t feel that weird to only want to drink half a bottle in one sitting and, y’know, make this $8 bottle of juice last a little longer. 

Attempt #3

Knowing fully well that I was going to have a long night shift ahead of me, I decided to check out the Coffee Bar side of the market for what would be my third trip over the course of 5 days.  I feel like I should also point out that the Coffee Bar, as its name literally breaks down as, serves coffee during the day and a full bar at night.  I also noticed during this visit that the Coffee Bar has a patio seating area under construction, cheesy string lights and all, that I am looking forward to.

Fruity Pebbles Latte- $6

Against my best judgement, I got it “for here” for the sake of the pic, even though a.) I had to break my rule of not eating in places because this fucking pandemic isn’t over yet and b.) I was nervous about being late for work the whole time (I did, in fact, get there on time).  As I waited, I could see their secret recipe fruity pebbles milk sitting on the counter.  It was, in fact, fruity pebbles and milk.  

I didn’t really think the Fruity Pebbles would work with the espresso, having had been burned before by places that just dump them onto things with no regard of the flavor profile just for the sake of the burst of color.  But, somehow… it did work.  Maybe it’s because cereal milk is never quite as strong as some might hope, but the subtle fruitiness of the milk played well with the chocolatey notes in the espresso.  The espresso itself probably also had the best crema on it that I’ve ever seen on a latte (and yes, I had to google the pretentious espresso-snob term for the foam that floats to the top).

Also shoutout to the pour over, which on their menu board is priced at "4-ish"

I’m so glad I’m living with my parents again at the moment.  Otherwise, this whole thing would’ve been like, a month’s worth of my food budget.

Tuesday

Today was an okay day.

I forgot the breakfast and didn't really eat much today. I ended up getting two sushi rolls from Publix, which I feel bad cuz I ended up being $20. I didn't realize they were so much until after we got home. I didn't pay for them that's the only reason I didn't notice.

I ended up falling asleep for about 3 or 4 hours and then we finally decided to go do something. My boyfriend and I ended up going to Books-A-Million and running around Dollar tree, just to see what they had. They have a lot of cool stuff I didn't realize, like turkey bacon or carton of eggs. little bottles of milkshakes, hell they even have cartons of milk and frozen fruit now. Crazy to think it's all a dollar.

After the Dollar tree visit we went to Books-A-Million where we sat and read some magazines for a bit and then decided to go get dinner.

I wasn't super hungry so I ended up getting the slim chickens Buffalo tender mac and cheese.

It's macaroni and cheese with buffalo sauce, chicken tenders, onion crispies( like kind of like onion rings but smaller and thinner) green onions, and ranch.

I know it sounds gross but it really isn't. It's kind of like Chili's Texas cheese fries minus the fries and add some chicken and macaroni and cheese. They are actually really good I wish I wouldn't so full so I could have enjoyed a little bit more of it.

I didn't even eat but a quarter of it. I guess I'll just eat it for leftovers tomorrow at work . Logan and I hung out and watch some YouTube videos for a little bit and then he left around 10:30. I'm starting to get tired but I can't seem to get comfortable.

I made my bed about three different times now, rearranging the blankets in different orders. I'm trying to get comfortable and find out the blanket ratio to fan that feels comfortable. Since I like a cold room but warm blanket. It's aggravating. well hopefully I have a good day tomorrow wish me luck.

Devour Offers Plenty to Swallow with New Spot

Its first ever Super Bowl commercial, Devour is celebrating its frozen meal offerings as food porn with an intentionally provocative campaign.

Frozen food label, Devour, has unveiled its Super Bowl commercial. Taking on a quirky theme, the sixty-second spot, slated to air during the third quarter of the Big Game on 3 February 2019, is the highlight of a deliberately provocative advertising campaign, while inspired by the marque’s popular meals.

With more than 184 million #foodporn tags on Instagram, the movement of sharing melty cheese pulls, elaborate table spreads, and overflowing bowls of pasta has reached a new height on social media. The brand is leveraging said hype to take its ‘craveable’ offerings further as well as disrupt its category.

The creative was developed by DAVID Miami, with VaynerMedia spearheading social and digital activations. Established in 2016, Devour frozen meal options, which feature tender meats, creamy sauces, crispy crusts, and gooey cheeses, are available at retailers across the United States.

Its first Super Bowl advert, the Devour film depicts a woman struggling with her partner’s insatiable addiction to frozen food. From homemade meals to food porn videos, she tries numerous tactics to change his eating habits but fails to return the person who is now a ‘three-minute man’ back to normal.

With plans to build excitement around the push in the lead-up to the Big Game, the brand is introducing 1-83-FOODPORN. The hotline will be live throughout the game. The brand’s fifteen varieties include Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, Loaded Potatoes with Angus Beef & Bacon, and more.

“We are known for our unapologetic point of view, and we knew our first Super Bowl spot had to be just that. Some may say our new commercial is too hot for television. We’ll let the audience decide,” said Katy Marshall, Marketing Lead for Springboard, a new brand platform that includes Devour.

I Want to Stop Eating Fast Food

Do you have a soft spot for fingerlickin’ fried chicken or double (bacon) cheeseburgers?

You know habitually eating fast food can put you on the fast track to poor health and weight gain. Over a decade ago, two teenage girls sued McDonald’s for making them fat. Morgan Spurlock suffered “Mc-twitches” on a month-long fast food diet to prove a point in Super Size Me. Michelle Obama made it her fight to stop the obesity epidemic by trying to steer America away from fast food and frozen dinners.

Fast forward to present day: We’re still fixated on fast food. It’s normal to get that itch now and then, but if you scratch it too often, you can kiss your weight-loss plans goodbye (not to mention overall good health). But, never fear; if you don’t want to quit eating fast food cold turkey, you should first understand what makes these foods so craveable so you can make an informed choice if you decide to indulge.

What Makes Fast Food So Addictive?

Ask someone what their favorite cheat food is, and I’ll bet they won’t say a grilled chicken salad (unless, they’re making these salad mistakes). Highly processed junk food and fast food likely top the list. Me? I like a hot plate of crisp French fries, and I’m a dietitian. What can I say? Few people are above the influence of hyperpalatable foods, defined by researchers as foods rich in fats, sugars and/or salts and often comprised of synthetic combinations of many ingredients.

If the deck feels like it’s stacked against you, that’s because it is. Here’s why:

Fast food is tasty by design. Experts recognize that we crave sugary, salty and fatty foods by evolutionary design. The double-whammy is that food scientists build upon this by optimizing the smell, taste, and feel of your favorite burger down to the crinkle in its packaging.

Fast food is cheap and ready to eat. This is music to anyone’s ears, especially a working parent’s. Fast food clearly wins out over other dine-in restaurants as a convenient, low-cost option. Not to mention most fast food joints will reward you with better value for sizing up on a meal!

Fast food uses slick marketing. Children are key targets for fast food marketing. About $4.6 billion is spent annually to convince kids to nag their parents for the latest happy meal toy. The positive emotions we have sipping cola and munching on chicken nuggets with our families build memories that can influence our future decisions to eat these types of foods again when we are stressed and want to feel comforted.

It’s still controversial to that say fast food is absolutely addictive. But, there are scientists out there arguing that highly processed foods can trigger artificially high levels of reward similar to other addictive drugs. Obviously, we all react differently to food. But, if you crave fast food beyond the occasional indulgence, it may benefit your health — not to mention waistline — if you cut back on your consumption.

8 Signs That Your Love of Fast Food May Be Unhealthy

Fast food is tasty — we get it. But, at what point do you roll from sporadic enjoyment into indulging at a rate that’s not healthy? Here are a few signs that fast food is more of a routine than a once-in-a-while cheat/treat:

You crave specific fast food items often.

You go out of your way to buy fast food.

One bite of this type of food can launch you into a full-on binge.

Being full doesn’t stop you from eating more.

Your fixation on fast food is a source of guilt, depression, anxiety, or self-loathing.

You want to eat less fast food, but have been unsuccessful.

You eat fast food often even if you know it can harm your health.

Withdrawal symptoms (such as headaches, anxiety, and sadness) may happen if you don’t get your fast food fix.

4 Strategies for Kicking Your Love of Fast Food to the Curb

If your consumption of fast food is standing in the way of a healthier, fitter, trimmer you, it may be time to make some changes. These strategies can help.

Set boundaries between you and the trigger food. Write down the specific fast food item(s) that can trigger you to overeat or binge. Consider these foods blacklisted for a while. Don’t allow yourself to purchase them again until you’ve established a better relationship with them.

Find non-food ways to deal with emotions. Food can be an emotional band aid for anger, depression, and stress. You can trade in your greasy pizza for journaling, meditation, or exercise to deal with negative feelings.

Be prepared when you get late-night cravings. It’s 2 a.m. but you have a hankering for some popcorn chicken. A fast food craving can hit with poor timing, so make sure your fridge has a few healthy snacks like any of these 55 snacks under 150 calories. Better yet: Make it a rule not to eat in the middle of the night. If you have trouble sleeping, meditate, read a book, take a warm bath, or relax with low-key yoga instead of eating.

Fill up on faux fast food. To kick your fast food habit, you may mentally slap a B-A-D label across all fast foods (not just the trigger foods mentioned above). This black-and-white way of thinking is restrictive, and can make it hard for you to rewire your relationship with fast food. Instead of going cold turkey entirely, try cooking healthier versions of your favorite fast food.

7 Healthier Fast Food Alternatives, Remade by Beachbody

Lucky for you, we have plenty of fast food and comfort food makeover recipes that can not only satisfy your craving, but can also move you toward your weight-loss goal. Beachbody recipes are designed to compliment the workout plans, such as 21 Day Fix, Body Beast, and P90X, that are available on Beachbody on Demand.

A small word of wisdom: If you’re someone who regularly eats fast food, the following remakes may not be to your liking right away. You’ll need to give your tastebuds time to adjust to lower levels of fat, sugar, and salt. Don’t worry, you will get there. Now get cookin’:

Roasted Garlic & Rosemary Burger – Temper your burger craving with homemade beef patties. These are made with 95-percent lean ground sirloin that’s spiked with grated zucchini for extra moisture and fiber.

Cookies & Cream Smoothie – Sip on this lighter version of a vanilla and chocolate cookie milkshake. You can settle your sweet tooth without overdoing the calories, fat, and sugar.

Buffalo Chicken Tenders with Blue Cheese Dip – Enjoy spicy chicken tenders without the grease-soaked breading of traditional chicken wings. Cool your mouth down with a blue cheese dip made from yogurt.

Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard – And… if you’re really into crispy breading, we’ve got you covered, too. This chicken nugget alternative is a treat your kids will also love.

Broccoli Tater Tots – Just like tater tots except they’re baked and filled with nutritious broccoli instead of starchy potatoes.

BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza – Instead of stringy cheese, this pizza oozes with lean protein from chicken breast and black beans.

Spicy Sweet Potato Fries – Baked sweet potato fries are a tasty take on traditional fries, plus they deliver a good dose of vitamin A.

But… Is Fast Food Cheaper Than Healthier Food?

In addition to cravings, another barrier some people need to overcome in order to eat healthier is the perception of value that fast food can have.

Contrary to popular belief, fast food isn’t cheaper than a simple homecooked meal. Obviously, energy-dense foods (think: chips, cookies, fast food) will appear cheaper than low-calorie and nutritious fruits, veggies, and whole grains. But, this method assumes it’s quantity of calories that makes us full, when, in reality, satiety also depends on the quality of calories consumed.

A great example of this concept: fiber versus sugar. Which fills your stomach more: One ounce of jellybeans (105 calories and 20 grams of sugar) or a medium-sized apple with the skin (95 calories, 19 grams of sugar, and 4.4 grams of fiber)? Even with roughly the same amount of sugar and similar calorie counts, the apple is more satiating because of its fiber and water content (not to mention it contains beneficial vitamins and minerals).

If you’re a savvy shopper, you can make cheaper fast food alternatives at home. It doesn’t take hard science to prove this — just a pinch of common sense. Mark Bittman argues that you can feed a family of four with $28 at McDonald’s (2 Big Macs, 1 cheeseburger, 6 chicken nuggets, 2 medium fries and 2 small fries, 2 medium sodas and 2 small sodas), or a family of six for $14 (1 roasted chicken plus cooked veggies, a side salad, and milk) at home. And 21 Day Fix creator Autumn Calabrese destroys the argument that fast food provides greater value than cooking at home in this video, where she makes dinner plus leftovers for the next day for herself and her son for just $15.

It’s a challenge worth trying!

Was the first place I ate at when I moved to Lebanon and I go back at least twice a month. ....We even had our wedding rehearsal dinner... We have been to this establishment a few times and after our last visit, we will never be back. The positives of this place is that the chicken soup is... This is by far my favorite restaurant in Nashville. Sommer and Lewis are very knowledgable about their bourbon and the food is amazing. Get the special. Quick service, delicious turkey Reuben with salads and kettle chips!....A plethora choice of craft brews and wines. ....Great atmosphere and very glad we found...923d907c47bc3fcb971145c891b85b07

Devour Offers Plenty to Swallow with New Spot

Its first ever Super Bowl commercial, Devour is celebrating its frozen meal offerings as food porn with an intentionally provocative campaign.

Frozen food label, Devour, has unveiled its Super Bowl commercial. Taking on a quirky theme, the sixty-second spot, slated to air during the third quarter of the Big Game on 3 February 2019, is the highlight of a deliberately provocative advertising campaign, while inspired by the marque’s popular meals.

With more than 184 million #foodporn tags on Instagram, the movement of sharing melty cheese pulls, elaborate table spreads, and overflowing bowls of pasta has reached a new height on social media. The brand is leveraging said hype to take its ‘craveable’ offerings further as well as disrupt its category.

The creative was developed by DAVID Miami, with VaynerMedia spearheading social and digital activations. Established in 2016, Devour frozen meal options, which feature tender meats, creamy sauces, crispy crusts, and gooey cheeses, are available at retailers across the United States.

Its first Super Bowl advert, the Devour film depicts a woman struggling with her partner’s insatiable addiction to frozen food. From homemade meals to food porn videos, she tries numerous tactics to change his eating habits but fails to return the person who is now a ‘three-minute man’ back to normal.

With plans to build excitement around the push in the lead-up to the Big Game, the brand is introducing 1-83-FOODPORN. The hotline will be live throughout the game. The brand’s fifteen varieties include Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, Loaded Potatoes with Angus Beef & Bacon, and more.

“We are known for our unapologetic point of view, and we knew our first Super Bowl spot had to be just that. Some may say our new commercial is too hot for television. We’ll let the audience decide,” said Katy Marshall, Marketing Lead for Springboard, a new brand platform that includes Devour.
