I really love every recipe of yours that I’ve tried – I actually got my husband to eat and enjoy tofu for the first time EVER because of your crisy tofu and rice noodle bowls! I hope you enjoy Birmingham; it’s a great city with lots to see if you have the time. I will be there at your book signing! Can’t wait!

Melissa
July 24, 2012 at 9:11 amI second the vote for New York City! We’d love to have you here! How can you go on a book tour and not go to NYC?! That’s half the reason I moved here!
Kelsea Olson
July 24, 2012 at 9:13 amWOO HOO! See ya in Atlanta! It’s beautiful in the fall. If you have time to visit any restaurants, make sure to stop by TWO Urban Licks– It will blow your mind!

Oh! And Piedmont Park!
Lauren
July 27, 2012 at 6:42 amForget all of the other suggestions and get yourself to Antico Pizza.
Order your Napoli-style pie at the counter, pick up your red peppers and fresh chopped garlic by the ovens, and then prepare to fight for a seat. Worst-case scenario: you have to stuff your face while standing up in the kitchen and watch the men make your pizza.
Incredible.
Lauren
July 27, 2012 at 6:43 amAnd don’t forget to BYOB! They have bottle openers and little plastic cups for you to use. 🙂

Alyssa
July 24, 2012 at 10:20 amI also think you would love the farmer’s market in Madison on a Saturday morning, followed by a Badger game at Camp Randall. Really, there’s nothing better …

So exciting (and helpful) that you and your Mom can do this together. Am sure ‘White Jacket’ will be #1 on Amazon ‘tout de suite’ and that it’ll be a terrific read.
Kelly
July 24, 2012 at 11:21 amSavannah AND Charleston. I’m stuck in between the two, so I may just make it to both! 🙂 Congrats on the book and I hope you and your Mom have a grand time road tripping the book tour. So fun!

Conni
July 24, 2012 at 2:46 pmOh man you’re coming to Atlanta!! I’m so excited. 🙂 I go to school there! I don’t know how long you’re going to be there but if you need restaurant recommendations: Figo, Fogo de Chao, Yeah Burger or Farm Burger, and Another Broken Egg are some of my favorites! 🙂
Margarita
July 24, 2012 at 2:48 pmCongratulations Jenna! So excited for you… What an accomplishment at 27! You look so darn pretty in that photo with your mom.
Is that shirt from the Gap? I think I saw something that looks like that there.
Also, come to Seattle or Portland… Please…
Bev @ Bev Cooks
July 24, 2012 at 2:51 pmYou know you have a place to stay in KC, m’ dear! <3
MK
July 24, 2012 at 2:57 pmYay for atlanta!!! Do you need restaurant suggestions? Or suggestions for places to stay? I’ve lived here six years and I can think of some places that seem very you! ;).
jenna
July 24, 2012 at 3:34 pmWould love restaurant recommendations! We will only be there for one night, but I’d definitely take any recommendations you (or other Atlanta friends!) might offer!
MK
July 26, 2012 at 4:47 pmYou HAVE to try Six Feet Under off of Memorial Drive. The best martini I’ve ever had – they put blue cheese olives in it. And their catfish, rat toes (scallops wrapped in bacon), shrimp n’ grits, fried okra,… I could go on and on. Also, the Vortex in Little Five Points or Bone Garden Cantina have great atmosphere and some of the best burgers/tacos.
Enjoy your stay!
Emily
July 24, 2012 at 3:08 pmYay Birmingham!!!! My girlfriends and I are SO excited!!
Amanda
July 24, 2012 at 3:12 pmIt looks like you should add a poll to the website for a fan favorite choice and make that your last stop… Just saying. 🙂
I’ll put the first plug in for Oklahoma City. I have an absolutely amazing yoga instructor/studio to visit while you’re here – second floor studio in a charming, old house with the perfect amount of creaks as you walk up the stairs, followed by produce just off the family farm. Sunday morning Gospel Vinyassa is a must!
jenna
July 24, 2012 at 3:33 pmI really wish I could! That yoga studio sounds AMAZING! 🙂
Jenny
July 24, 2012 at 3:30 pmMy girlfriend and I really wanted to come to one of these and cheer you on, but we are in Chicago! I hope thats one of the days you are adding!
Denise @ Creative Kitchen
July 24, 2012 at 3:44 pmStill hoping for your home state of Florida!! I can definitely make it up to Vero, but would love for you to come to West Palm Beach (suburbs of). 🙂
Cait Hawley
July 24, 2012 at 3:56 pmPlease come a smidge closer to Raleigh, NC! Though…I don’t really have a problem driving to Charlotte for you 🙂

July 24, 2012 at 6:48 pmI wish I was still going to be in San Fran so I could meet, hug and congratulate you!! I’ve been reading your blog for like 3 years now (!!) – and something about it just always inspires me. Cant wait to read the book!! xox

July 24, 2012 at 7:42 pmCome to Raleigh!!! pretty please!!!!! I promise to show up in a sundress and rainbows with a glass of sweet tea if you do!
becky
August 11, 2012 at 5:35 pmI second the Raleigh suggestion. Quail Ridge Books (a lovely independent bookstore) would be the perfect location for you in the Triangle. I would love to hear you read there (and meet you too). Any chance of adding additional signings?

July 24, 2012 at 8:57 pmCongratulations, Jenna!
This is so exciting for you! To be honest, I’m not sure if this book will be my cup of tea but that really doesn’t matter and is in no way a criticism. What I find so admirable and inspiring is the fact that I read your blog when you hadn’t “made it” – you really deserve all you get because you worked your way up, making a risky move to California, noticeably improving the quality of the writing and photography as you learned, and making a somewhat risky change in content (to focus more on food) which paid off.
What about New England???
Kelly
July 25, 2012 at 6:43 amYeah, How about New England?? Maine is lovely in September!!
Sarah
July 24, 2012 at 10:29 pmShow the Midwest some love. Very excited about your book.

July 25, 2012 at 6:11 amThe Savannah date is on my calendar! It’s because of you I finally went to Back in the Day and I’m forever greatful. I’m kicking myself for taking 5 years to go there. Now it’s a family favorite stop and I’ve already made 25% of the recipes in the cookbook!
Kelly

Congrats on your book! Ever since I met you in Chicago many moons ago it seems, I knew you would go BIG. You are awesome. I can’t wait to grab a copy for myself.

Suzanne de Cornelia
September 4, 2012 at 8:37 pmThe coolest bookstore that ever existed used to be in Opera Plaza. ‘A Clean and Well-Lighted Place for Books’. Seriously one of my favorite places in SF while living there 20-years. Friends and I would go to lunch across the way on a rainy day. Browse in the store all day–pre whatever author talk was scheduled. They had great ones. Then go to an art film also in the Opera Plaza. Perfect days.
Andrea
September 5, 2012 at 11:39 amWow! Copperfield’s is right down the street from where I work, and you’ll be there half an hour after I get off! No excuse to not stop by and say hello!

September 13, 2012 at 2:08 pmJenna- I just finished your book and I loved it. I was curious to read it since I have read ELR for a few years. To be honest, I did not expect to love the book and I was pleasantly surprised as I read the first few pages. You have a great gift for telling a story and I look forward to reading your future books:) Congrats!
Natalie

Wishing you all the best,
