A Sandwich a Day: Fried Green Tomato BLT from Loveless Cafe in Nashville
Loveless Cafe started out in the 1950s as a motel that sold fried chicken and biscuits from the front door to travelers who ate it on the picnic tables out front. They've gradually grown, changed ownership, and become more touristy over the years but still serve some pretty good Southern food in Nashville, and perhaps the best Fried Green Tomato BLT.Say Goodbye to Summer with Pineapple-Chile Paletas
There's no sign at the popsicle haven Las Paletas in Nashville, Tennessee, which makes finding it tricky, but it's worth the sugary reward. The popsicles here are known for their powerful burst of unusual flavors like eggnog and hibiscus but what captured my heart was the sweet and spicy ice pops like pineapple-chile and cucumber-chile. I can't imagine a better way to spend the last lazy days of summer than indulging in this recipe for spicy ice pops.Street Food Profiles: Mas Tacos Por Favor in Nashville, Tennessee
It's time for another street food profile. This time we meet Teresa Mason of the Mas Tacos Por Favor truck in Nashville, which has been around since the summer of 2008. They have seven tacos in rotation, including fish tacos with spicy dill yogurt and cast-iron chicken with roasted tomatillo salsa. And we can't forget the elote and watermelon agua fresca.Hog Heaven in Nashville, Tennessee
"Hickory smoked," boasted Hog Heaven's menu in reverence to the barbecue gods. These words aren't the only abstraction of barbecue to be found here. Hog Heaven is a minuscule shack off Centennial Park in Nashville, located literally behind a McDonald's and adjunct to a honkytonk dive. There are a few key tenets to the art of barbecue, the holiest of which is using wood smoke to flavor meat. But does this always make for the best barbecue?Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 124: Eating Hell Week Strategies
I'm going to come right out and say it. The past seven days (eight, really) constituted hell week for this serious dieter. An extremely pleasurable hell week, but a hell week nonetheless. Why do I say that? Consider the following meals of fried chicken in Nashville, pulled pork sandwiches at Big Apple Barbecue Block Party, and our office taste tests this week involving kettle chips, chocolate chip cookies, and sliders.Nashville Taco Truck Roundup
A quick web search of "Nashville" and "taco trucks" will get you two types of results. First you'll find a few postings, mostly from late 2005, about the city's purported plans to ban taco trucks due to "health concerns," which apparently never went through (gracias a Dios). But most of what you'll find being written about taco trucks in Nashville today focuses exclusively on Mas Tacos, a gourmet mobile trailer of the type that's got the country all aTwitter these days, but there are plenty of cheaper, more authentic, and in my opinion tastier, taco trucks nearby on two main avenues: Gallatin Pike and Nolensville Pike.Family-Style Meals at Monell's in Nashville
"The Pass to the Left Policy works out well—everyone gets fed eventually. But it gets a tad intense when the fried chicken arrives." Monell's 1235 6th Avenue N., Nashville TN 37208 (map); 615-248-4747 Meals: lunch Monday through Friday, dinner Tuesday through Saturday, breakfast on the weekends and Sunday afternoon meal. Monell's in Nashville is one of those places where you shouldn't eat breakfast that morning (or maybe even last night's dinner). You're basically in for a Southern Thanksgiving, except with 10 or so people you've never met. Every meal here (lunch, dinner, the weekend country breakfast, and Sunday meal) is served family-style like they did back in the days of Southern boarding houses—except with other peoples' families. But you'll get...Harper's Soul Food Cafeteria in Nashville, Tennessee
"The fried okra nubbins are just asking to be snacked on pre-cash register." [Photographs: Erin Zimmer] Harper's 2610 Jefferson Street, Nashville TN 37208 (map); 615-329-1909 Hours: Open 7 days a week. Monday through Friday: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Many restaurants in Nashville are closed on Sundays and Mondays, but Harper's—the cafeteria-style soul food restaurant near Tennessee State University—isn't. And that was sure a good thing this week when bundles of people filed in here after the annual Martin Luther King Day march to the university. Instead of the usual Southern tradition of "Meat and Three" (your choice of one meat and three sides—a beautiful thing), Harper's does Meat and Two. But...Prince's Hot Chicken Shack in Nashville, Tennessee
"Some guy came in here once and ordered the extra hot chicken. He said it filled him up, cleared his sinuses, and killed his Athlete's Foot." Prince's Hot Chicken Shack 123 Ewing Drive, Nashville TN (map); 615-226-9442 Hours: Tuesday through Thursday, noon to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 4 a.m. The Short Order: Spicy fried chicken: mild (this doesn't mean you're a wimp), medium (whoa there), hot (are you sure?), extra hot (get out of here.) Sides: Baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, extra pickles, extra white bread, Ranch dressing It's not really a question of what you're going to order at Prince's Hot Chicken Shack (the chicken, obviously)—it's how you will order it. Mild, medium, hot, or extra...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
