Re: “At Kohana, Green Hills' new Japanese eatery, there's almost too much to like”
Ok, I may get shouted down for this but can we PLEASE get a new honest-to-God sushi bar that doesn't fit this either pan-asian, cheeseburger-wrapped-in-rice, or izakaya-meets-urban-flats sort of aesthetic? Not that there aren't tasty dishes to be found in those places, but I, for one, would love the added option of walking into a sushi restaurant and feel truly transported.
I know there are more traditional places around, and I think they exhibit varying degrees of success. But none rise to the level of truly transcendent to my mind.
I want to sit at the bar and leave it to the chef to tell me what's the freshest. I want the Haiku damnit.

Re: “In Legato Gelato, Edgehill Village scoops up a cool new boutique”
Believe they have it at The Jam on Wedgewood, or at least they did at one time.

Delicious, some of the best gelato I've had.
But does anyone know where to get Boba Tea now that Fat Straw is gone?
Re: “A chocoholic Scene writer goes gaga for Goo Goos”
Sometimes, things of historical value go over my head. I am classless, after all.

On my way over after a Drs. appt.
Can't wait YUMMMMMMMMM!
Re: “In Legato Gelato, Edgehill Village scoops up a cool new boutique”
Beautifully written article. Mouth is watering at 10:15 a.m. and I cannot wait to head over there to dig in to some lovely gelato!
Re: “Catbird Seat rises to high expectations”
i believe i am going to have to pass. unless they are pulling the food out of the sea or the farm right next to the restaurant i am not interested. no restaurant/sisco food in nashville is worth that price and the beating you must take to make reservations. sort of sounds bush league to me. i will save my money and splurge on charlie trotters in chi , le bernadin in manhattan, or commanders palace in the big easy. currently i am looking for the newest diner, drive-in or dive. much more fun anyway. i have good booze and wine at home. dg
Re: “At The Southern, Tom Morales & Co. bring down-home flavor downtown”
My husband and I decided to give The Southern a try instead of our go-to (Merchants) before a concert at Schermerhorn in early May. I don't think we'll be going back. The restaurant seemed to have multiple personalities (tourist trap, sports bar, high-end seafood/steak spot), and service was painfully bad. Entrees were OK, but nothing special; only our appetizer (fried oysters) was really good.

SceneReader's comment was horribly written and unprofessional.
Re: “12South pioneer Frothy Monkey sets imaginative new course”
This all sounds just great. What more could a person want?
Re: “A chocoholic Scene writer goes gaga for Goo Goos”
I'd never questioned the legend that "Goo Goo" stood for the Grand Ole Opry. Didn't even think it was a legend. But I see now the candy bar had the name a decade before the Solemn Old Judge named the Opry.
I thought it was a perfectly good article. Didn't you ever go on a field trip to some kind of factory when you were in school? The mechanics of the factory were a lot more interesting than the history or social significance. Someone else can write the definitive article on the history.

Rock on Abby, this was a real hoot.
Re: “At The Southern, Tom Morales & Co. bring down-home flavor downtown”
You left out the best part of The Southern, the drink special "Ribbons and Roses" - can of PBR with a shot of Four Roses bourbon on the side...$6 - unbeatable.
Re: “A chocoholic Scene writer goes gaga for Goo Goos”
Upon reading this article and remembering my own tour of the same facility, I wondered if Abby White had missed the front lobby with the historical value of Goo Goos and Standard Candy Co. going right over her head. How disappointing to be so excited to see one of our wonderful traditions featured in your magazine only to realize that the writer was more interested in titillating the reader with passages totally unrelated to her story. If you wanted your readers to know all sorts of personal things about yourself and your photographer (do you really admit that you know this one, Eric?), why didn't you just write about your classless self instead of dragging one of Nashville's most admired traditions and one of their greatest private businessess down to your level?! Thank goodness Goo Goo Clusters have survived 100 years before this article and will continue to flourish in spite of it.

Re: “Open only on Sundays, The Speckled Hen is a rare treat for brunch”
It is amazing that all of your food comes straight from the farmer or is homemade. Keep up the awesome work :)
Re: “Open only on Sundays, The Speckled Hen is a rare treat for brunch”
Hi Angel-This is Rachel from The Speckled Hen-we don't serve coffee because there's a wonderful place called Buttercake Babe's Coffee Cafe right next to us we would never want to take away from her business. We all share the seating area in the Farmers' Market food court, so there's definitely coffee-just not from us directly. You can also get mimosas and bloody marys from AM/FM and enjoy them with our brunch as well. I understand your concern-brunch without coffee would be crazy! Thanks for bringing it up.
Re: “In its 25th year, F. Scott's launches a spring menu that's cause for celebration”
hey local foodie. tell me where to go then. the food is way above average, the bar very nice and the jazz superb. we are in nashville, pal. i have been to jazz clubs from ny to la and f scotts is very fine and civilized. there is a rare blue hair so you need to get new glasses or remove your shades. bet you work for another restaurant and you are pulling one of those tripadvisor fake slams. and by the way if it sucks so bad why have you eaten there SOOOOOOO MANY TIMES? i am vexed by your comments.

Re: “At Kohana, Green Hills' new Japanese eatery, there's almost too much to like”
Kohana serves Japanese food in the same way that Olive Garden serves Italian food. And in a metaphysical moment for my simile, the "soba" we were served was actually whole wheat cappellini. Just when you think Nashvillians might start caring about something other than serving size, along comes this US Food Service muck. No thanks; never again.
