You may know her from her big win in 2007 on hit TV show American Idol. Recently, she’s been pursuing some different passions of hers involving food. She began her own sweet and savory baking show called Heart of the Batter. From classic recipes passed down from her grandma to trendy new creations, she’s perfected it all. In addition to making her own creations, she’s had the chance to try some amazing food all across the nation - and lucky us, she filled us in on her go-to eateries. We encourage you to try some of her favorite foodie spots all across the nation.

The Mesquite Grilled Palacios Redfish is the best redfish I've ever tasted. On the way out they give you fresh pralines - yum! There is so much to love about this place. One cool dessert tip - if you order the banana foster they make it tableside for you and it's delicious.

The Venetian and Palazzo
One word - meatballs! Also, six words – twenty-layer peanut butter chocolate cake! Lavo has such a great atmosphere and is the perfect spot to go when on vacation in Vegas. I crave both of these signature Lavo dishes and always get them whenever I have the opportunity to dine there.

Sushi
West Loop
The sushi here is so fresh and the restaurant is just minutes from the water. I love just getting a bunch of different kinds of sashimi. If you can, try and sit at the sushi bar and watch them prepare all of the delicious rolls.

The omakase at Tanoshii is amazing. We are always delighted by the selections. Some of the most creative specialty rolls and great value for money. Service is fantastic. We always feel welcomed by Michelle, Dave,Kaylee and the team.

There is nothing better than sitting on terrace of this restaurant and soaking up the view. My ideal night here is relaxing on the terrace with a crisp glass of Rose.

Great food, terrific service and fantastic location with views of the dock. We had lunch there and the fish and chips was delightful the fish so light and fluffy and the brownie sundae was one of the best chocolate desserts I have had in a while. Not cheap, but not horribly priced. Thoroughly recommended.
