Well, if you can say one good thing about Nashville restaurateur Doug Crow, he's prolific. Actually that's not fair, because you can say lots of good things about Doug. He's prolific, he's consistent, he knows what his patrons want and he has a great idea for location. Doug practices what I like to refer to as the "hermit crab expansion strategy" whereupon he moves into recently vacated dining sites and fills them with good, dependable food in a comfortable environment.
By my count, Doug has his fork in at least seven to eight kitchens in town, including Corner Pub in the Woods, The Alley and Dalton's in Bellevue, Austin's in Fieldstone Farms, Joe's Place on Bandywood and The Corner Pub in midtown and the Crow's Nest. Doug and his partners have repeated their model with a new restaurant in the location of the recently departed Paradise Ridge BBQ off Charlotte Avenue in the same shopping center with Strike & Spare. The new restaurant is humbly named DJ's Pub and Grub. The name describes the joint perfectly.
