I feel like the south side of town rarely gets enough love when it comes to food, even though there are so many delicious, locally owned places to eat. Ethio Coffee House on Murfreesboro Pike serves a variety of coffees, teas and treats. The prices are excellent, and the owner always encourages me to try something new — like a sambusa with lentil, jalapeño and cilantro to go with my regular iced coffee with milk. Plus, they have Blue Bell ice cream by the scoop. AMANDA HAGGARD
