Re: “Mississippi-based fast-casual chain Newk's blasts off in Belle Meade Plaza”
I am surprised by this positive review. Without a doubt this was the worst restaurant my family has ever been to. This is the only meal I have had that I considered asking for my money back. The pizza was clearly frozen -- but I could have gotten a better one at Krogers. The salad was practically inedible; I have no idea what they did to the dressing. The pimento cheese sandwich had mysterycheese and grease dripped off it. We didn't finish our meal and left hungry. We will never return.
Re: “Arnold Myint rocks his corner of the Nashville Farmers' Market”
I go there at least once a week and have never had the credit card system crash or been served non-house-made chips. The house made chips are amazing. The crostini bar is one of my favorite brunches of all time.
Re: “Arnold Myint rocks his corner of the Nashville Farmers' Market”
I had a lovely lunch there..Quinoa Falafel. And the waiter then surprised me with an amazing chocolate brownie. It is a great classy edition to the F.M., check it out!
Re: “Arnold Myint rocks his corner of the Nashville Farmers' Market”
My one and only experience at AM@FM was not so good. I asked for the daily sandwich special--to go. I was told it was NOT available to go but I could get the soup of the day to go---and risk spilling it on the way back to the office.
Later I went to the website and send a polite email expressing my dissatisfaction. Months later I am still waiting for a reply.
Never again.
Re: “Eggs are coming out of their shells as a sunny symbol of local food”
Just read this in the print edition, and couldn't help but to wonder... does the SCENE have something against Dino's in East Nashville? A few years back when they had the best Burger in Nashville article, there was nary a mention of Dino's killer burgers. Not too long after that article (and much before the timeline reflected in this article), Dinos was acquired by a frequent patron, Rick Wildeboor. WHile a "mere patron," he had been special-ordering what he called a "Yankee Burger" which was added to the menu upon his acquisition of the business. It was their basic (basically great!) burger, with a fried egg (Sunny Side Up) on top of the patty. Before eating, you break the yolk and let it run over the meat and bread, top it with the top bun and enjoy! This was at least five years ago -- where was the SCENE then (and again, why weren't their "regular" burgers even considered in that earlier rundown on Nashville Burgers?)??
Re: “East Nashville eatery Silly Goose turns to Kickstarter to create a community food co-op”
My wife and I just returned from Nash and our best meal by far was at The Silly Goose! Excellent and creative menu! Not to mention the delicious ingredients! Well done Roderick!
What are the next steps post-Kickstarter? All great cities need a coop! steven
Re: “King Market: where even the fish stomach stew is exquisite”
jfeldredge is right about the store closing time, but the people at the restaurant made clear to me by phone that 7 p.m. is the cutoff for seating, which is typically what we consider a restaurant's closing time.
But it's worth nothing the store is open till 7:30, so thanks!
God, do I love that place! Went the first time a month ago and I've been back three times. Phenomenal.
Re: “King Market: where even the fish stomach stew is exquisite”
What is on the table is chopped peanuts, but you might also have used some sriracha sauce, which contains both peppers and garlic.
Re: “King Market: where even the fish stomach stew is exquisite”
Are those peanuts, or the crunchy nuggets of roasted minced garlic sold in big jars in the adjacent market? Seems like one time I went and thought I was putting the former on my food, only to get the (unexpected but great) taste of the latter.
Re: “King Market: where even the fish stomach stew is exquisite”
A couple more comments: King Market actually closes at 7:30 PM, not the 7:00 PM stated in the article, although 7:00 PM may well be the cutoff for seating cafe customers. Also, the condiment dishes on each table include chopped peanuts, so this isn't the restaurant for anyone who is severely allergic to peanuts.
Re: “King Market: where even the fish stomach stew is exquisite”
Alas, KM has been calling me for some time now and I've yet to make the trip to that side of town. Dinner seems to be more to the liking of Mrs. Foodie and she likes to eat late. Maybe I can talk her and Hula Hoop Girl into going for lunch tomorrow...
Re: “King Market: where even the fish stomach stew is exquisite”
This restaurant has the best soups that I have found anywhere in Nashville. My favorites are the several varieties of curry. I eat there often enough that the staff greet me by name.
Re: “Koi Sushi & Thai gives Melrose a pan-Asian panoply of noodles, curry and sushi”
I hit submit before I clarified. haha.
Anyways, the address IS Franklin Road, however from looking at online maps today it pulls up the Franklin Rd in Brentwood not the Melrose/Berry Hill area. When in doubt just drive to the Melrose Pub... its right next door.
Re: “Koi Sushi & Thai gives Melrose a pan-Asian panoply of noodles, curry and sushi”
This place is actually located at 2535 Franklin PIKE not Road.
Re: “At Pharmacy Burger Parlor & Beer Garden, a meaty scrip is just what the doctor ordered”
went last night, ridiculous wait, was told 15 minutes, turned into hour. terrible service.
I couldn't even get ketchup. Took 25 minutes to pay bill. okay burgers w/ cold soggy fries
won't be back, no one seemed to care anyway!
Re: “At Tamarind, Woodlands team shifts from Southern to Northern Indian cuisine”
Buffet - not a bad meal for the money but I prefer Sitar across the board. Most disappointing was the use of white meat for the chicken curry and tikka masala. The saag was thin, the pakora was chopped up too fine, the tandoor chicken had a mushy crust, the salad was swimming in water. I was excited to try lemon pickles and the manchow soup was interesting. Other than that, meh.
Re: “Porter Road Butcher carves a meaty niche in the local food scene”
Pork rillette was awesome! The beef pot pie melted in my mouth. All was delicious...Italian sausage, tn pate, hog jowl, and a goats cheese that the ladies of bloomy rind suggested. This is just what Nashville needed. Thank you PRB! See ya soon! I see my husband becoming a regular at the butcher shop, ha. Can't wait to try the Bonnie blue you all got in last week.
Re: “At Pomodoro East, Willy Thomas and Joe Shaw team up for Italian-inspired farm-to-table fare”
tomm, I think the reason the review didn't include the hours is because they aren't etched in stone yet, as they're still gauging their business flow. But that said, according to the current menu, these are the hours:
MON-THU 5 to 10 p.m.
FRI-SAT 5 to 11 p.m.
SUN 5 to 9 p.m.
But I would call to double check.
