Re: “The Road, Episode 31: Midori Japanese & Korean Restaurant [Eating Our Way Down Nolensville Pike]”
Back in the day, when I worked in Antioch, this was our go-to lunch spot. Really great, hidden gem. Glad to hear the food is still good as ever.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
How could anyone possibly accuse donna of bigotry? She traded recipes with a hispanic woman one time. Actually had her in her house for tea. Fool proof indemnity.
Re: “The Treehouse Restaurant and Bar to Spring Up in Five Points”
Ha, I did some research and found this little gem of a legislative loophole:
"A special occasion license under this section may also be issued to a nonprofit historical society for the purpose of serving complimentary samples of homemade wine manufactured in the Swiss tradition by a society member or members, the complimentary samples not to exceed one ounce (1 oz.) per wine type per person to be served at an annual festival conducted by a society celebrating the Swiss heritage at a farm museum in any county having a population of not less than fourteen thousand three hundred (14,300) nor more than fourteen thousand four hundred (14,400), according to the 2000 federal census or any subsequent federal census."
Grundy County, home of Gruetli-Laager and the annual Swiss Heritage Festival had a population of 14,332 in 2000. Glad our legislature is working for the everyman...
Re: “My Maser Challenge to The Tennessean”
The main damage to his credibility is that the Tennessean printed it.
Re: “The Treehouse Restaurant and Bar to Spring Up in Five Points”
I thought you had to have 75 seats to get a liquor license in the state of TN? Not that the application of liquor laws has ever been something I completely understand. I know there's supposedly some other "gourmet restaurant" designation and a wine-only option. Any restaurateur Bitesters have any insight on that one?
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Cite. Be specific now.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
AnglRdr is the wind beneath my wings. "...Did you ever know that you're my hero?"
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Yes, there is, Donna, which is why your naked bigotry always comes as such a shock. Most reconstructed racists know to keep their bigotry on the downlow, but you? You're just loud and proud with it.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
There's a record here, AnglRdr.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Oh Donna, forgive me! I completely forgot my place! Please pardon me as I curtsy and kiss your ring.
In your dreams. You've hate me since the first time I came here and dared challenged you on anything. You loathe being called out, and you cannot stand the thought that someone out there actually knows more about something than you do.
You don't impress me; you certainly don't intimidate me. You're nothing to me but a cranky old misanthrope who hates anybody of a darker skin tone than you, who I imagine enjoys getting a bit tipsy at the monthly Daughters of the Confederacy luncheons.
Please, don't flatter yourself that *I'm* the lucky one here.

Damn you, Hale, you violated the Garrigan Protocol!
Re: “Open Thread Asks: What Items Do You Seek Out at Farmers Markets?”
Seriously, though, I think kale rabe is my new favorite green. The leafy parts crisp up just as the thicker bits get cooked through.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
You're lucky I even answered you, AnglRdr, given your constant insults. I haven't been bothering. Seems wise, though the more you phony "liberals" talk and write, the more revealing you are. Hasn't failed yet.
Re: “Open Thread Asks: What Items Do You Seek Out at Farmers Markets?”
I go around to the markets looking for reclaimed barnwood.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Yeah, it really sounds like you haven't, though, because your claim has no relation to the show at all. But whatevs.
And I'm sure your 60+ year old second hand experience really taught you something, huh, you old grump.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
AnglRdr, I don't watch much TV, but I've seen the show. I'm not in the habit of commenting on things I know nothing about. That's YOUR hobby.
I listen to a country station out of Lawrenceburg (I don't live there) for brief periods just about every day, not because of the music -- though they play a lot of old stuff I like -- but because of the on-air personalities. They remind me of people I grew up with. I don't listen to much new country, just enough to know what's been thrown out. I prefer mixes of other kinds of music. I make my own mixes that I listen to while I work.
Two members of my immediate family worked in radio. My closest male friend, other than my husband, worked in the record industry for many years. My mother was a songwriter who got ripped off in Nashville in the Fifties. We know a thing or two.
Re: “Open Thread Asks: What Items Do You Seek Out at Farmers Markets?”
It seems so early for peaches, but I guess not if the Peach Truck is back. Thanks for the tip! I eagerly await tomato-watermelon-peach season every year.
Re: “The Scene's Sounds Like Summer/Cream Anniversary Shows July 19 and 20 on Cannery Row Feat. The Features, The Weeks, The Whigs and More”
That new Features video has to be one of the worst music videos I've seen in a while.
Re: “Open Thread Asks: What Items Do You Seek Out at Farmers Markets?”
The eggs from the Schrock Family stand at the NFM, now set up under the mall-side shed. Just a whole different product in terms of color and freshness than anything else available, especially in comparison to the costly dozens at Whole Foods. They also have awesome and hefty and enticing baked goods alongside the eggs. Be a good Tennessean and just graciously accept the bible tract they slip into the bag with the eggs. The $4 loaves of fluffy white sourdough sandwich bread (nothing like Italian style crusty sourdough) goes well toasted with two or three of the eggs (get a couple dozen).
I second the call on the Betty Joe's Slaw - she's super friendly too!
Re: “Gladiator w/Take the Power Back and Cio Cio San and the Half-Japanese Girls Saturday at Exit/In”
If no half japanese cover band, then at least a half japanese karaoke night? please?
