Speaking of AmeriCorps...


Eighteen young adults bonded by a strong love for Mexican food, eating their way across the U.S. Food became of upmost importance. For me it was integral to our journey and was at times a challenge.. Preparing enough meatloaf to feed 19 people, driving down a 6,000 foot mountain once a week to go food shopping….We did, however, get to eat some amazing food along the way. Highlights included El Charro in Tuscon, Arizona, where I experience my first Tres Leches cake (It was awesome), the best sweet potato fries I ever eaten at place called Felix’s in New Orleans (found while stumbling the streets during Mardi Gras), and the Fly Saucer in Little Rock, Arkansas, which has the biggest selection of micro-brewed beers on tap I have ever seen. Not to mention the countless home cooked meals we prepared and were severed from members of the communities we stayed in.
