Murfreesboro Fact #1: It's the restaurant capital of the U.S.What shall we do about this?
Try everything, of course.

My uncle is down here in Nashville on business this week so he's been taking us out for dinner. Sunday night we had Fox's Pizza. I had a personal taco pizza which was very good.
Find a local pizza joint. CHECK.

Tonight we went to Bonefish Grill. Matt & Scott urged me to try the Mango Salsa on my seafood and I was skeptical at first. I am a skeptic no longer. First of all, this was definitely the best seafood I've had in my life and I've had quite a bit. I think what made it was the Mango Salsa. We left the restaurant wondering if we could buy it in MASSIVE bulk. And ta-da, they have the recipe on their website...so I'm sharing it with you all (ya'll) and urging you to give it a shot. It goes with pretty much any seafood. Matt had it on Mahi Mahi, Scott had it on Ahi Tuna and I had it on shrimp and scallops. It's sweet, it's spicy, it's amazing. Seriously, try it.

Mmmm... sounds great! I'll have to attempt it sometime. Luke has traveled to Murfreesboro a couple of times (for Papa Murphy's... now open!!) and loved the fact that they're the restaurant capital! He really likes the Chop House. Enjoy exploring the new city!

It's amazing - about 15 years ago there was not much in Murfreesboro - MTSU has helped the town grow up a lot it seems.
