The Local Neighborhood Diner “Dalts Grill” Is A Pleasant Surprise

Reuben & Mashed Potatoes

Having recently moved to a new area of Nashville, one of the most difficult challenges is to find a good place to eat. While chains and/or fast food restaurants are always endlessly abundant no matter where you go, sometimes you just want to eat at a local restaurant. Even with the abundance of web-based reviews, it is still hard to make a decision and many times you find that the reviews themselves are either lacking in availability, are somewhat biased, or are fake “fluff” reviews made by the owner & their friends.

Cod, Coconut Shrimp, Fries, Slaw

About a month ago (for St. Patrick’s Day), I got the opportunity to hang out in East Nashville with Haley and her coworker Jennifer. Instead of becoming inebriated on green beer like everyone else, I instead was looking forward to trying out a new restaurant on that side of town. While bar hopping with Haley and Jennifer, we happened to stumble across a restaurant that I saw a couple months earlier in passing: Batter’d & Fried. After a few quick searches on my phone, I decided that I would give this seafood restaurant a try because I rarely get …

Pork Bibimbap

A few weeks ago while I was checking the Twitter account for Hyoungry Man, I noticed a fellow Nashville food blogger & Twitter friend, Beth Eats, tweeted about her recent lunch experience that day.

Having recently taken a new job in Brentwood, I was minutes away from Franklin and saw it as a perfect opportunity to plan my next meal there. Korean restaurants in Nashville are far & few …

Midtown Cafe: Small, Yet Pricey With An Upscale Menu & Charm

Steak & Sides

Two days before Christmas, Haley and I found ourselves in downtown Nashville to attend my first NHL hockey game. Not really sure what to expect in terms of traffic; I went ahead and made a reservation to Midtown Cafe just in case. Our reservations were made quite early to give us ample time to eat and then get to Bridgestone Arena. It was so early (5 PM) that we ended up being the only patrons there until the end of our dinner. This made it seem extra special, as if I rented out the entire restaurant just for us.

Applewood Farmhouse Grill Is The Best Restaurant-Based Thanksgiving Meal I’ve Ever Had

My Plate of Thanksgiving Food

It’s been a while since I last wrote a review but don’t think I’ve been taking a break. I recently took a trip to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge this past weekend and have plenty of restaurants to write about. The first on my list is Applewood Farmhouse Grill in Sevierville, Tennessee.

Applewood Farmhouse Grill (the sister to Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant) is quite popular to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge residents and visitors alike. Known for its wide varieties of Southern comfort foods with specialty in apple-related dishes, Applewood Farmhouse Grill is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s been voted as the best …
