Virago's Brunch with a View!

Virago joined it's other M Street friends, Tavern and Saint Anejo, on Saturday, September 10th serving up brunch to Nashville's finest.  Virago never disappoints, so I was anxiously awaiting the chef's creations.  My girlfriend and I didn't know where to start! So many delicious options! In order to maximize our flavor, we opted to share three different plates: Roasted Hazelnut Burrata, Breakfast Bomb, and the Cereal Roll.  

 

Up first, the Breakfast Bomb.  The Bomb is one of my favorite sushi rolls at Virago. Honestly, it's hard for me to think about a time there when I didn't order it.  Needless to say, when I saw they tailored this roll for breakfast, it was a no-brainer.  I promise you won't be disappointed! The roll was filled with bacon, asparagus, sriracha, tempura shrimp, and topped with scrambled eggs, unagi and scallions. Each bite satiated my breakfast craving.

 

The Roasted Hazelnut Burrata was the perfect compliment to our sushi rolls.  The burrata was placed atop a bed of arugula tossed in a blueberry balsamic vinaigrette. Bits of citrus and hazelnut were woven throughout the dish.  Mouthwatering!!

 

We saved the best for last, the Cereal Roll. I've seen many restaurants get creative with sushi rolls, but this takes the cake.  Not only is this one of the most colorful sushi rolls that I have seen, but one of the sweetest.  The Cereal Roll is a combination of sweet rice, Inari tofu, mascarpone, crunch rolled in Fruity Peebles and topped with condensed milk.  Is your mouth watering?? Mine is!  I could eat this over and over!  Highly recommend ordering this beauty and sharing it with the table.

Brunch with a View is served Saturday and Sunday from 11-3pm. Virago is offering this for a limited time, so make sure that you make your reservations today!

Catherine Courtney

Welcome to Blonde Voyage Nashville!

I am so excited to finally see this dream become a reality.  Between the destination restaurants, the copious amount of food photos and insanely crazy travel stories, I have decided to share my journey. 

My name is Catherine Courtney and I am a Nashville native with a penchant for culinary creativity and epic travel adventures. I'll admit... I also have a slight obsession with handbags.

Two years ago, my life changed completely.  Everything that I knew to be was completely turned upside down.  I quickly realized that time is our greatest commodity and it's not to be taken for granted. I couldn't wait for the perfect time, who knew when that would be.  I needed to take the leap and explore the world on my own.  There were so many places I wanted to go, but where would I start. 

France was always one of those places that I had romanticized.  Wandering the streets of Paris and seeing the Eiffel tower were at the top of my list. Without hesitation, I booked a two week trip to the French Rivera and Paris.  It was a journey of a lifetime.  Not only were amazing friendships cultivated, but it was on that trip that i discovered that food and travel are the embers that that keep my soul on fire. 

It wasn't until I arrived back in Nashville with my passport that I realized I had been bit. Wanderlust had completely taken over.  I already started thinking about where I wanted to go next.  It was then that I decided that it was more important to have camera full of photos and a tattered journal full of stories than anything else. My heart was overflowing.

One of my favorite quotes that resonates is from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland:

"Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures...."

Join me as I explore near and far away places, filling my passport full of stamps and satiating my appetite with some of the most amazing cuisine the world has to offer. 

Thanks for reading!
