Which Wich Celebrates

Today marked a big day for a friend of mine. Months ago, Chris Thomas announced on his blog that he would be eating all 51 of the fantastic whiches available from our local Which Wich?. Today was the culmination of everything Chris had set out to achieve. Today, Chris Thomas, in the site of family and friends, ate his 51st wich.

To mark the occasion, Which Wich? founder and president Jeff Sinelli flew out to our beloved Nashville to host. There were balloons, pom poms, but best of all, FREE WICHES TO MARK THE OCCASSION!

Congratulations, Chris!

Dotson's Pure Country Cooking

Life's a funny thing. Caroline (the boss/wife) and I had made plans to take her mom to one of our favorite restaurants anywhere, Barbara's Home Cooking, for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, somebody convinced Barbara that it would be a good idea to replace her fried chicken and meatloaf with fillet mignon and fresh salmon in an artichoke heart, white wine sauce. What the heck!?

Out of a desperate need for "home made" fried chicken, we went to Dotson's in downtown Franklin. I'd been there once before many years earlier, and the only thing I remembered was the "non-smoking section" had three tables in the middle of the restaurant...

I'm glad to report that this time around, I'll remember a lot more. In fact, I had just finished paying when I found myself in a great conversation with the owner, Art McCloud. To make a long story short, I ended up shooting for them two days later!

If you get the opportunity, be sure to swing by and have some banana pudding or a slice of the chocolate pie (pictured). Yes, it tastes every bit as good as it looks.
