Catch Ya On the Flipside

Spotlighting some of Nashville's best restaurants.

Catch Ya On the Flipside

After writing last week's article, I realized how much I actually miss all of the Nashville restaurants. So I thought that I would spend some time each week spotlighting some of my favorite places individually.

Flipside

Flipside is located on 12 South, specializing in specialty chicken dishes. The decor is retro and reminiscent of a mid-1900s diner. In the summer, they open up all the windows so you get fresh air while you eat. It's the perfect first date spot because there are trivia cards at every table -- in case you run out of things to talk about.

Appetizer - Tater Tot Nachos

You could really eat this as your main meal if you wanted to! This dish is a plate of happiness, and that isn't an exaggeration -- crispy, fresh tater tots loaded up with avocado, bacon pieces, tomatoes and jalapenos. The chef then douses the entire dish in creamy, melted white cheese. It brings the whole dish together and is the perfect texture complement to the crispy tater tots.

Entree - Primo or Phuket

The Primo

This is by far my favorite chicken dish out there. One of the cool things about the chicken at Flipside is that you can get it fried and crispy or pan sauteed. I don't like breaded chicken, so I like that I can avoid that. This chicken dish in particular is smothered with a fresh, herby basil, topped with thick slices of tomato and then covered in mozzarella that melts over the top to cover it all.

The Phuket

This is not my go-to, but it is one of the most unique chicken dishes I have ever tried. Their normal butterflied chicken breast is slathered generously with creamy peanut butter. A handful of light and fresh Thai slaw is placed on top and splashed with Sriracha. Peanut butter on chicken sounds crazy, but trust me, the way that these flavors and textures play together is incredible. The Sriracha is intensely spicy, but the smooth peanut butter mellows it out, and the slaw adds a refreshing aftertaste.

Dessert - Chocolate Chip Cookie Milkshake

No meal is ever complete without dessert. This milkshake is a must-have, especially if you're getting a spicy entree like the Phuket. This shake blends up actual chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream. It's the ultimate reinvention of cookies and milk. Add whipped cream and cookie crumbles -- this shake is the cherry on top of a perfect meal.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
