Eat, Drink, and Be Married

One of the things that I love most about Darren’s and my friends is that a great number of them are fellow foodies. They not only bear with my regular food-related Facebook updates, but they actually appreciate them. In my opinion, reading vivid descriptions of food can be almost as good as actually tasting it. This is why I drool over the dessert menu even when I’m far too stuffed to order from it.

Here are three food blogs from my food-and-drink-loving friends, whom I insist that you meet.

1. I Love Tongs

My friend Heather writes a food blog, I Love Tongs, and gave our new blog a sweet shout-out. She and her husband, Grant, are honestly two of the funniest people I have ever met. They are childhood sweethearts who now have an incredibly cute son, whose photos you can “aww” over on “I Love Tongs.” You can also ogle the awesome dishes that Heather cooks up.

2. Feed the Empire

“The Empire” is the tongue-in-cheek name of the creative behemoth that Gill and her college friends (now my friends, too) have dreamed of for years. We can only imagine what we’ll continue to cook up together, edible and otherwise.

Feed the Empire is the collaborative foodie blog that this group of friends and I keep up casually. This is where we share our favorite recipes, from the simple to the fancy-pants, and our stories about enjoying them. I am dying to have a fancy dinner party along the lines of my sister’s New Orleans Supper Club Event.

3. Tiny Biscuits

Another pair who embody the Eat, Drink and Be Married philosophy are Drew and Kaytie, a couple of Jacksonians who are amazing chefs and food photographers. They write the blog Tiny Biscuits and are the kind of people you definitely want to invite to your potluck (or pay to cater it). Check out their tips for infusing your own liquors.

Heather and Grant. Gill and Brian. Katie and Josh. Kaytie and Drew. These are some of my favorite couples, because they love to eat and drink as much as they dig each other.
