Re: “Here's a Tip: Don't Skip Weekly Open Thread”
i actually like the burger at SR. i hear a lot of good things about the coffee steak
if the birthday dinner is out of your budget, can you tell them you will meet them for dessert or coffee. or a drink afterward. i think, times what they are, that a friend would understand that. a LOT of people cant justify that much for dinner - even if they have it.
Re: “Lucy's Country Cafe Serving Lunch at Blue Bar”
paying more for food certainly does not imply that its better in quality or nutrition. meat and three is not meant for the dieter in most cases. for those who want that sort of food then the meat and three offers a quick convenient option - and usually affordable. the lunch special described offers an All You Can Eat option but it also offers regular lunch options. most people interested in "all you can eat" are not interested in calories as much in some cases. people who want to eat a lot - hey there is there option. i know one person who opts All You Can Eat because he can eat ONLY meat and greens and fill up without carbs etc on his plate to temp him or to leave to waste.
the thing i dont understand is why does blue bar have someone coming in to do the lunch? do they only open their kitchen at night? if so., it seems like a creative idea. also...offers really different food options for lunch and dinner. i hope the idea works for them.
Re: “Open Thread: News of Yesterday, Today, This Week”
i found the OB grill to be really different. they had many new choices on the menu. i had buffalo fried oysters and cornbread. i really enjoyed it. i noticed that they put a twist on many southern favorites which is nice. they do have life music and the staff often get up and sing. my service at the bar ( it was just me) was incredible. as a side note - the coffee was definitely above average and they served it with real cream. its a really pretty room. they are adding an outdoor patio that looks very nice indeed. i will definitely be back to try the outdoor patio. i have no idea how high the drinks are or if they have a happy hour but that would be a nice pretty after hour alternative for that area. it was a tad high, however, i feel that its somewhat of a tourist spot and they dont necessarily get normally daily traffic (my guess). also, you get free entertainment. all in all i really enjoyed myself there.

Re: “Holiday Wish List: What Restaurant Options Would You Like to See in Nashville?”
i agree that a pool with a bar and an age limit would be really nice. i wonder if any of the condos with pool could have an afterwork mixer with a bar. a hotel could do that. the opryland did have some pool events but they were not events where people got IN the pool they were just "at" the pool. the preston would be a perfect place for such an event. its a really cute hotel and it has a pool thats set up for lunches now. they have a liquor license. that place is a real jewel ifyou havent seen it. its a BARGAIN for how nice the rooms are.

and people who think that all southerners are "heatherns" are equally ignorant and prejudice. "all" X are Y is the equation for racism.
