Hi guys and welcome to the family fudge. Today I have a what I eat in a day video to share with you. But this one's gonna be a little bit different because on this particular day I wasn't at home. I was actually across the country visiting several different states and I had no way to cook food. I had no idea what we were going to eat so I had no plan whatsoever. In the morning of that day we woke up in Pigeon Forge. We spent the morning at Dollywood and then in the evening we went to a really fancy dinner and ate really strange food that I've never tried before. So this is not just a what I eat in a day video it's also sort of a travel vlog as well. So come along with me and I'll share it all with you. Okay guys now before we get started make sure to hit that red subscribe button if you haven't already and go ahead and give this video a big thumbs up if you like videos like this. Now let's get started. Now of course we're gonna start the day with some breakfast. We ended up staying at the Holiday Inn Express which was actually in Pigeon Forge but kind of away from the main area. If you've ever been there you'll know what I mean. And it was actually right next to a zoo. So when we checked in the lady at the desk said now if you hear donkeys in the middle of the night don't worry. It's just the zoo next door. Now luckily we did not hear any donkeys or anything like that but we did have a very standard holiday in breakfast. Now if you've ever stayed at a holiday inn you'll know what I mean. Pretty much the standard fare. They had yogurt and milk. This place actually had make your own pancakes. Which I tried to make but they never turned out. They actually got stuck in the machine and burnt. They also had biscuits and gravy, sausage, eggs, cinnamon rolls and other bread items. So what I ended up getting is pretty standard. I got some vanilla Greek yogurt. I got some eggs. I actually shared half of my omelet with my husband. This one had some veggies inside. It was actually pretty good. I also got some orange juice. And then I saw that they had these little packets of Texas Pete hot sauce. Which I'd never tried before but I love hot sauce. That was really excited to try it. And I actually really liked it. Now since we were in a hurry to get over to dolly wood I actually ended up taking a cinnamon roll to go as well. But unfortunately it wasn't a very good cinnamon roll. It was really dried out and it ended up tossing it. Our next stop of the day was at dolly wood. And it actually heard a lot of really good things about the food at dolly wood. Although I was more that it was going to be expensive. But coming from Disneyland I kind of expected food prices to be really high. But unfortunately we were only at dolly wood for two hours from 10 o'clock to noon. And so a lot of the restaurants weren't even open yet. So I did a quick search to find out what the most popular food at dolly wood is. And everyone was saying you have to try the cinnamon bread. So that's exactly what we did. Now the cinnamon bread is actually located in a restaurant that looks like a grist mill. It's really pretty. I love the theming at dolly wood is so awesome. So you got the bread. It was served warm. It was basically like monkey bread. You've ever had that sort of a pull apart cinnamon bread. Now with the cinnamon bread you have an option to buy some dipping sauce. You can get a spiced apple butter or you can get a little cup of frosting. And I opted for the apple butter. Because it was looking pretty sweet already. I didn't think it needed any frosting. Now we actually spent a lot of time going on some wild roller coasters while we were at dolly wood. So we really didn't end up eating much else because like I said it was early as well. And nothing was really ready. But we did walk by this one stand that was making silly cheese steaks and it's milled so so good. If I had had an appetite at the time I definitely would have ordered that. And just like that our time at dolly wood was over and we needed to rush back to South Carolina for the work trip that we actually went for in the first place. So we hopped in the car and drove about three hours back to South Carolina. And because we were worried about getting there on time we really didn't stop anywhere for any food. Luckily I had some snacks in the car. We ended up both sharing this bag of pistachios. And then I fell asleep because I was pretty tired. So we didn't actually have a dedicated lunch on that day. Which I was kind of disappointed about. I heard so many of the locals saying that I had to try a restaurant called Bojangles. Which I think is a lot like a Chick-fil-A. But we never got the chance to go there. So if you're a fan of Bojangles let me know in the comments down below. Hopefully next time I'll be able to try them. Okay guys and now on to the dinner portion. Which was filled of a I think was a five course dinner. It was the strangest, fanciest dinner I'd ever been to. Now let me tell you some of the back story. The reason we were in South Carolina was to do a video with Michelin. You know Michelin tires. And that night we had a group dinner and it was really fancy. They had all of these different courses filled with local foods that I had never tried before. And it was a little bit scary. So for the first course they brought out sort of a soup. Although it was thick and it was cold. It was made of cauliflower, tataki mushrooms, garlic and it was topped with caviar. You guys let me know if you've ever had caviar. I had never had caviar and spoiler alert. I'm not a big fan of anything fishy. So I was really scared to try this. But I was here at this dinner with all these professional people and they were hosting us. So I really didn't want to be rude. So I made sure to try everything even though it was kind of scary. I did end up trying the caviar and no I was not a fan. But I still smiled about it and said thank you because I didn't want to be rude. And then they brought out the second course which was fish again. This was Hamachi fish with grapefruit beer which I'm not a beer drinker at all. And it also had little pieces of toast otas like corn chips on top. It looked very interesting and of course I tried it because I didn't want to be rude but it definitely wasn't my favorite. And then they brought out the third course which again was seafood. This was a live diver scallop. I'm not exactly sure what that means. But it also had some white asparagus and rhubarb sauce. Now you guys I had never tried a scallop before and I never had any desire to try one before. It was a little bit scary to me but I tried it. It wasn't bad. It definitely wasn't my favorite thing either. Next they brought out the fourth course which was actually roasted quail. I had never had quail before but it actually wasn't bad. I liked it. This also had some mixed greens, some lettuce and ramps. Let me know if you've ever heard of ramps before. I saw this on the menu and I said I have no idea what a ramp is. But apparently it's kind of like a green onion and I tried it. It was actually pretty good. And then finally they brought out the last course which was the dessert course and this was by far the best thing in the entire dinner. This was pineapple with a caramel sauce, cream fresh which is a lot like ice cream and strangely enough they topped it with some dill. But it was actually a really good combination. My husband and I joked to each other that all the courses should have been dessert. Now just as a side note you guys with each of these dishes they also had a wine paired with it. So like every course had wine in between but my husband and I are not drinkers so we didn't have any of that. But as the dinner went on and on and a lot of people, a lot of other people had the wine. The room got louder and louder and it was definitely a party. Okay guys now this definitely wasn't my typical what I eat in a day. I tried a lot of different things, hotel food, theme park food and fine dining all in the same day. It was very interesting. So thank you so much for joining me today. Let me know in the comments down below what your favorite thing was out of the entire day and also let me know what you definitely would not like to try. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you next time. you
