Going with my hungry intuition, I decided to do the “Local Favorites” Columbus to do list which boasts a list of fourteen signature food spots in the Columbus area. The place that I am the most excited to visit is “Da Levee”, a cajun restaurant in Short North. Looking back at my dining experiences, I find that cajun food has been the most neglected amongst by experiences, due to the lack of French-African cuisine in my hometown of Cincinnati. I am looking forward to widening my culinary experience with more cajun cooking, especially jambalaya. I anticipate to use this list as an opportunity to expand my knowledge of other cultures and encourage my willingness to try new things. But most of all I want to use this list to just try some great food. I have always had an interest in trying different foods. I had a particular interest in watching “Man vs. Food” when I was younger and determined to visit any destinations featured on the show. I remember visiting one of the places on the list called “Thurman’s”, a popular burger place, when I was 12 years old with my father after an Ohio State football game. I was so excited for this specific dining experience because “Thurman’s” had been featured on “Man vs. Food”. I got a gargantuan burger called “The Thurminator”, which well lived up to the hype behind it. I remember even coming somewhat close to finishing the mound of meat and bread but coming a little more than half way short.
