Today I arrived in Huntsville, Alabama. After arriving at the nicest Embassy Suites I’ve experienced, we departed for Grille 29 in the Village of Providence for dinner. Providence is a section of Huntsville that is about 5 years old and Grille 29 has been a cornerstone. The food was exceptional. General Manager roy Goldman created us and Executive Chef Chris McDonald prepared a feast.

Chef Chris sent out an array of appetizers to wet our appetite, and then we ordered our entrees. I enjoyed scallops stuffed with crabmeat served on lobster mash potatoes and accompanied by sautéed vegetables–wonderful.

The journalist next to me ordered the redfish and she felt she picked the winner.

An assortment of desserts arrived to everyone’s delight. But, believe it or not, I just tasted. They were all good and I would not be able to pick a favorite.

This is going to be a fun five days on this Culinary Media Tour. We will see what tomorrow has in store.
