Welcome to Henderson County Foodie!

I am your blogger, Seguin. I am an aspiring chef, and your new guide to the wide and wonderful world of the Henderson County culinary arts.

The purpose of this blog is to put the spotlight on the restaurant scene in my area. There is a wealth of fine local establishments which... alright, in all honesty, I just really wanted to start a food blog, and this is the only plausible subject on which I could write. I may be a bit of a bore to those who keep track of the internet foodie scene. I am not as witty as Charlus or Miss XaXa of Amuse-Biatch, nor do I have as intimate a knowledge of food as Keckler of Television Without Pity. What I do have, however, is a playful palate, and a willingness to experiment and share my love of food. I have always been of the opinion that the small-town restaurant scene is seriously overlooked. This is not San Francisco, or New York, but we do have some surprisingly great food in our area, and it's time we were proud of it. I am absolutely obsessive about food, and I look forward to sharing my tips for dining out, and ruminations about food and chefs in the media, with those who share my passion.

In this blog, I plan on providing restaurant reviews, general food musings (with a little snark sprinkled in for good measure), and, hopefully, an interview or two in the future (let me dream, please!). Admittedly, I will be posting a few articles which are not HC-centric, but I plan on keeping the focus mainly local. This may end up becoming a fairly general food blog, but I want to include plenty of materials to help others in my area get a taste of what's available to us, while at the same time, never shutting out other foodies around the world.

You may be asking yourself, "Isn't this whole thing just an exercise in pretentious scrutiny by a big fish in a small pond?" Why, yes! Yes, it is. See you at the next post!


Mangia!
