2021: Enjoy All The Things

 

Hello internet friends! At the end of my 2020 Baton Rouge Pizza Tour, I had many people ask me "so what's the plan for 2021?" To be honest, I hadn't really planned for this to be a "thing." Pizza is my favorite food, and it had been a goal for a while now to eat at every pizza place in the city, so when 2020 rolled around I made it a half joking, yet half serious "resolution". 

But it was one of the highlights of a pretty crazy year, and so I began asking people for their thoughts on what I should do for 2021. When I was asked, I had a gut reaction of two things and was trying to decide between them. I did get some really good options from the people, and intend to revisit this list and put the question to the public again next year. 

Some of the options I got were: 

• Bakeries
• Coffee Shops 
• Tacos
• Dumplings, that then led to a category we referred to as "pocket food" (dumplings, empanadas, kolaches, etc.)
• Queso 
• French Fries 
• Burgers 

The two that I had been debating on when asked this question was coffee shops and pastries. I feel like those go well together, and when the first two suggestions I got were bakeries and coffee shops, I knew it was settled. So I'm calling my challenge "Coffee and Cupcakes" because I like alliteration and think it has a nice flow to it. 

While I may not hit up every coffee shop and bakery this year, I will keep you updated on my progress as I try new places and revisit old favorites. Feel free to drop any suggestions you have, as my google search for this year of Enjoy All The Things wasn't was easy to craft as last years.
