Shrimp Taco- $2.65

You know the little place on memorial next to Suntrust? For years it's been the place restaurants go to die, Get Sconed was the most recent victim. However, Oscar's Taco Shop has proven to not only be resilient, but incredibly successful.

Make sure to go either right before or right after the lunch rush, to ensure you won't be waiting in the look-at-how-awesome-we-are ordering line. I personally ordered the shrimp taco, a pretty vulnerable dish considering Murfreesboro's distance from the ocean.

In 2 minutes, I was face to face with a succulent beast of a taco. Citrusy, yet meaty, the shrimp taco boasts grilled shrimp, a cut of lime, pico de gaillo, and a secret sauce wrapped in a fresh corn tortilla. It was explosive with flavor. Each bite was equally savory. The lime is the crucial piece that sets off the dish like fireworks.

Overall, Oscar's shrimp taco is an affordable, tasty little reward. I'd recommend stopping by for lunch if you are anywhere close by. Enjoy!

It’s not easy to eat healthy on the go. From milkshakes to corndogs, most food that you can hold in your hand goes straight to your thighs. However, entrepreneurs John and Brandi Sevieri are committed to giving Murfreesboro residents a healthy alternative when eating on the run. John and Brandi Sevieri run the Smoothie King on Medical Center Parkway in Murfreesboro, and another branch in Smyrna. For readers that have been living under a rock for the past twenty years, Smoothie King is the country’s number one juice bar franchise. Not do they make delicious drinks, they makes drinks that are good for you.

That is the reason Smoothie King has become this week’s HobNob Spotlight. It’s not easy to make delicious beverages, but it seems to be impossible to make something that is tasty and also healthy. The Smoothie King franchise has stayed true to its original vision: To become THE healthy alternative to unhealthy food choices by providing a consistent, outstanding guest experience, great tasting nutritional smoothies and the highest quality nutritional products in a healthy, energetic environment. I know that sounds corny, but Smoothie King really does provide everything they claim to.

The franchise offers thirty-eight smoothies under 300 calories, and if calories aren’t the first thing on your mind, Smoothie King also offers a plethora of other ways to modify your drink. Looking to bulk up for the big game? Try Gladiator Protein Powder. It’s a low carb, low fat, low calorie meal replacement powder. Or maybe you have a long day ahead of you. Why not add Power-Fruit All-Day Energy Rapid Boost to your drink? It’s an all-natural, berry based energy supplement that provides a rapid boost to promote energy and alertness. Those are just a few of the options; Smoothie King also offers drinks to help you slim down, stay healthy, and get your daily doses of vitamins and minerals.

Everyone needs to make a commitment to their own health and nutrition, but that commitment doesn't have to take over your life. That’s why HobNob loves Smoothie King. They provide an easy way to stay healthy without breaking the bank or changing your lifestyle. So put down the burger and go see Brandi at Smoothie King. It might just be the easiest thing you’ve ever done to lead a healthier life.
