The one restaurant I get asked the most about is the new Gray’s on Main. The doors opened in August, with more fanfare than I’ve ever seen anywhere for any opening, setting up a huge expectation. Located in downtown Franklin’s Main Street, the street was actually closed down one warm Sunday night in August, while…

Otaku South Meets Yakitori at Joint 2 Art Event in Nashville
Otaku South, self described as an occasional ramen shop in Nashville, is unique in that it is an on-going pop-up ramen shop sprouting it’s noodles in coffee shops, bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, and art events, just to name a few.

Grilling a Whole Fish
I’m not sure why I’ve never grilled or roasted a whole fish before. Perhaps, because it seems so daunting, and unlike my neighbor, Susan, who brought the fish over for us to share, I didn’t grow up eating whole fish. Her Chinese father reveled in sucking each morsel of flesh off the the head of…

I need to say this right up front…Bobby Burns is a good friend of mine. I want you Nashville and Franklin folks to drive over to his farm stand that sits in front of the 300 blessed acres located right down the street from Arrington Vineyards, but not because he’s a friend. I’ve watched some…

Husk Nashville, Garden to Table

Frothy Monkey in Franklin, More than Coffee
The Frothy Monkey recently opened its second location in Franklin, Tennessee, giving the barristas in town a new standard to live up to. The atmosphere is just right for me.
