I don’t believe that I got quite as much out of our trip to Martin’s as I could have. It’s one of those very rare cases where I did a little research – if you can call it that – after the fact and found that there was so much more here than I knew, and that, had I been better informed going in, I would have gone from a very pleasant and tasty experience to a potentially even better one.

Noshville, Nashville TN
This is Marie with an article that contains no desserts at all, though it does have something that is nearly as yummy – salami. I didn’t like salami nearly as much before I got pregnant and swore off the stuff for a very long time. This article is about a place that is, as a result, nearly synonymous with salami for me. On our first visit, sometime while we were still dating, we stopped by this place mainly because it was across the street from a comic and music store that was dear to my husband’s heart, but now it is a destination to itself. Which is good, because the comic and music store moved to a soulless strip mall that probably has better rent prices and definitely has more floor space. Continue reading “Noshville, Nashville TN”
Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack and Pied Piper Creamery, Nashville TN
I was told two things before going to Prince’s: that the wait would be long and that the chicken would be unbelievably hot. You know that Daffy Duck cartoon where the genie warns him very sternly that he’s going to suffer dearly for his insolence, and Daffy just dismisses him with a “Consequences, shmonsequences” and learns the genie was not kidding? I felt a bit like that. Continue reading “Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack and Pied Piper Creamery, Nashville TN”
Rotier’s Restaurant and Hog Heaven, Nashville TN
In the previous chapter, I wrote about two reasonably new restaurants in Nashville that we had not tried before this visit. This time around, a pair of considerably older restaurants that I have enjoyed before. I was visiting Music City long before Marie and I started blogging, after all. Plenty of favorites have come up in the mix. Continue reading “Rotier’s Restaurant and Hog Heaven, Nashville TN”
Mas Tacos Por Favor and The Wild Cow, Nashville TN
When we first told our friends that we were going to make a blog out of our hobby of traveling and eating at fun local places, our good buddy Brooke piped up with a suggestion in Nashville. She told us that we needed to try Mas Tacos, a food truck that has, in the nearly two years since she told us about it, found a brick-and-mortar base and has been serving up some ridiculously good Tennessee-styled takes on traditional Mexican dishes. We visited Nashville twice in 2010, but neither visit really coincided with a good time to go meet up with Mas Tacos, either the truck or the shop, during their limited hours.

Kevin Brown’s Burgers, Ooltewah TN
Kevin Brown told me a sad, but positive story about his tiny little burger joint a few weeks ago. After we finished a terrific meal here, I stopped in the gents’ and was surprised and impressed by a huge biker mural on the wall. I asked Brown about it and he explained that he took over the building, which was once a bike shop, after that business’s owner was killed in a crash a mile or so up the road on a notoriously dangerous hairpin curve. He left the mural, among other things, up around the property in his memory. Continue reading “Kevin Brown’s Burgers, Ooltewah TN”
English Rose, Chattanooga TN (CLOSED)
You may have noticed that I am not the most spontaneous fellow around. I plan most of my out-of-town eating way in advance. Everybody should do this. Between the Roadfood.com message board and Urbanspoon and all the other fun blogs and forums out there, nobody should ever, ever have to just pull off the interstate and fuel up at some fast food joint, ever. Plan ahead and you might not be disappointed. Continue reading “English Rose, Chattanooga TN (CLOSED)”
