*While I’m livin’ it up in Chicago with Neely and Meghan, I’m doing flashback posts of my 2009 trip to Tennessee*
We are all big Food Network fans, and we just love the Neelys! We knew we couldn’t leave Memphis without stopping to eat at their restaurant.
The food was wonderful! I had barbecue chicken nachos, and they were AMAZING!
We posed for a few pictures with them.
After we ate, we hit the road and headed for Nashville.
We planned to check in to our hotel, then find a cool place in the area for dinner. Unfortunately, things didn’t quite go as planned.
By the time we made it to Nashville, I was sick. By sick, I mean SICK. We are pretty sure that I got food poisoning from the restaurant. I don’t think I have ever been as sick as I was that night.
Let’s just say, I vowed that night that I would NEVER eat barbecue again, and now, two years later, I still haven’t had any.
Beautiful, isn’t it? Smeared mascara, gross hair, near-death.
I actually can’t believe I posted this picture.
Our cool place for dinner? Our hotel.
Our food? Sprite for me, vegetable wheat thins from the vending machine for Momma and Mom-mom.
This may be a bit too much information, so if you have a weak stomach, you might not want to read. I was so weak that I couldn’t get out of bed to run to the bathroom when I needed to throw up, so I had a trashcan beside my bed. Momma can’t handle when someone throws up, so when I would get sick, she would run to the bathroom and turn the water on so she couldn’t hear! She left Mom-mom to take care of me!
This was NOT the wonderful first night in Nashville that I had in my mind. I was really afraid that I would have to spend my entire vacation in the hotel room.
Up next, the day after The Sickness.
It’s kind of funny you got food poisoning from a well known restaurant.
Poor thing!! Being sick is the pits….but being sick on vacay is just plain wrong!!
Poor girl. Come back and I’ll take you for some gooooooooood BBQ. Neely’s is nothing!
terrible.
I got food poisoning for the first time this year. It’s AWFUL. And that is why I will never eat at a City Bites for as long as I live. The scene in Bridesmaids where they get sick made me laugh so much hard because I had totaaaaally been there. Hahaha.
Oh no! Not a good impression of the Neelys!! eek!
Sorry you got sick, but glad you felt better the rest of your trip!
