Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint
We hear that as early as November, Patrick Martin is moving his Nolensville BBQ outfit to a bigger, better, badder location. And not a moment too soon: On weekend nights, business at the current Martin's is so good that you can wait 20 minutes just to reach the counter to order. As for concerns the new joint could lose the homey roadhouse vibe of the old place, Martin says not to worry—the new Martin's is just a short skip down the road, and the pitmaster/proprietor is taking care to keep the license-plate-album-cover-and-Dukes-of-Hazzard-memorabilia décor as-is. And the 'cue? There'll be much less chance of it running out. By the way, love ya, Jimmy Carl's—there's always room for more great barbecue in Middle Tennessee. JIM RIDLEY
