I think it is well known that I love food. A lot. I love smelling it, looking at it, photographing it, and — of COURSE — eating it. And, even though I have eaten a lot of different exotic dishes and good ol’ sould food recipes in my thirty-some years, I still have “My List.”
And since I’m trying to streamline my posting these days and create weekly themes, I’ve decided to share five of the items on my list. If I had to sit down and type every. single. gastonomic. thing. I want to experience, we’d be here for years. Yeah, even *I* have better things to do.
Friday Five: Five Items on My Foodie’s Bucket List
All of those recipes I want to try, restaurants and festivals I want to visit, and ingredients I want to put in my mouth.
(1) Bahn Mi — I have been obsessed with this since seeing my first crusty bread sandwich photo on Pinterest. It was mouth-watering: simple pork, french bread, crisp veggies …. and I must have it.
(2) Mississippi Catfish — my youngest sister, who married a Mississippi native, swears that the best catfish to be had is in Mississippi. If I can ever make my way to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I am going to have me some catfish. Golden and Crispy. With lots of ketchup on the side (yes, I’m still 5 years old at heart).
(3) A Top Chef’s Restaurant — I don’t care whose restaurant I visit, I want to eat at a “Cheftestant’s” establishment. I’ve already met one — FABIO! — but I need to eat their food. Yes, I’m that obsessed and own two (2!) Top Chef cookbooks.
(4) Attend a Food Festival — again, I’m not picky. It could be the Aspen Food & Wine Festival or, if I take that vacation in Mississippi with my sister, the annual Chefs of the Coast foodie weekend. As long as there is great food and a chance for me to make memories with my family, I’ll be there.
(5) Pumpkin Bread Pudding — do I really need to say more? I adore pumpkin. I lurrrrrve bread pudding. I want to make those two flavors come together. Soon. I think I’ll make it happen this weekend.
What about you? What’s on your Foodie Bucket List?
disclosure: this is a sponsored post but full of tasty truth and reflective of my own opinions and tastebuds. This mama doesn’t exaggerate or lie when it comes to food!

My catfish is pretty darn good. Maybe we should make the BBQ on the 22nd a fish fry instead?
How cool that you got to meet Fabio.
Here’s hoping you make get a chance to experience everything on your list!
Does Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival count?
I am a big fan of Top Chef too. There are several Top Chef Masters restaurants here, and I would love to go. Need the mula first!
On my Foodie Bucket list I want to eat at that restaurant in the Stratosphere hotel in Las Vegas.
I have not a clue what that first one is, but that pumpkin bread pudding sounds divine!
At the top of my list is making a paleo croissants. I miss croissants like crazy. Great list and I can’t wait to see the pumpkin bread pudding.
pumpkin bread pudding? Hmmmm that actually sounds good
My foodie bucket list is to eat noodles and sushi in Japan.
You would love the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. I’ve eaten at a Top Chef Masters restaurant and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
I don’t have a foodie bucket list, but now I think I need to come up with one!
I am on a mission for a professional slicer, we were looking for a nice crinkle cut Madlin (sp) type thingy today, I ended up with some cheap thing that I hope works for me until I find what I need.
Mississippi Catfish sounds delish! I can’t wait to visit the south and try some good southern cooking.
I live very close to Brian Voltaggio’s restaurant and I still haven’t gone! I should.
I love catfish but I’ve never been to Mississippi. I wonder if theirs is better than in NC?
I’m a foodie too! Everything sounds so wonderful on your list! I hope you get to experience it all.
Okay – now I am off to google Bahn Mi and find out how I can try this delightful treat!!
Pumpkin bread pudding? That actually sounds really good!
I love Top Chef. I’d like to eat at one of their places, too.
I don’t l fish, but I want to try a Bahn Mi and how cool to meet Fabio. I would love to eat in one of their restaurants.
My list is never ending.. lol
I was invited to an event with Chef Nobu this week which was on my bucket list. I had to turn it down (because of a number of reasons), but I know there will be more opportunities like this.
Pumpkin bread pudding sounds really good!
Ummm…pumpkin bread pudding sounds interesting.
Trying food from various cultures is on my foodie list!
I really can’t believe you’ve never been to a food festival! Amazing!
I love the idea of a food bucket list!
I hope to one day eat YOUR food
I love catfish
Your list sounds… yummy!
I would like to try some Mississippi catfish, too!
Hmm…I don’t know, never really thought about making one specifically for food, but considering how much I LOVE to eat, I’d say I’d like to go to various countries to try the authentic food there, I’d love a perfectly stocked kitchen with awesome cookwear, cast iron everything, and a double oven, and I’d love to make the PERFECT souffle.
LOVE your list! Eating at Moto in Chicago and visiting Gordon Ramsey Steak here in Las Vegas are both on mine.
On my foodie bucket list, to go eat in Italy
