Heck, she didn’t see the Red Lobster out in Cool Springs?

S&F is my hero.

I didn’t take them past Davidson County. I didn’t want the McMansions to scare them off. It was all “look at our cute little city with all these colleges right in the middle.”

Well, gotcha covered there, too . . . there’s a Long John Silver’s near the Capitol.

“I told her that we have seafood–we just call it sushi.”

Nope. Sorry. Sushi is called bait.

I didn’t take them past Davidson County. I didn’t want the McMansions to scare them off. They’re encroaching all over neighborhoods, especially where property values have increased a lot. The street I was born on is filled with the damn things.

Now come on, Jim. I’m trying to defend Music City against accusations that we don’t know good seafood, and you turn it into a class issue.

Gulp. Those are her vacation pictures? Wow.

Having lived in the Caribean for 2 years, I have a rule about eating seafood this far away from the sea. But I make exceptions for Morton’s and SouthStreet.

I grew up on a little dead end street in Green Hills. They’re tearing down two houses (with oak framing no less) and replacing them with one McMansion up and down it. Last time I was there, the house I grew up in was gone and they were gutting two across the street.

I love the pictures! It is neat to see someone else’s perspective of what is interesting in our city. It makes me want to take some “touristy” pictures of our city. It also makes me want to go to another city and take pictures.

Geez. Even Knoxville has a Maryland seafood restaurant (Chesapeake’s).

Frank, all of our “seafood” restaurants (and even some catfish restaurants) are turning into Mexican restaurants: http://blogs.nashvillescene.com/bites/2008/01/the_voyage_of_the_arcos.php

Sign o’ the times, I suppose.

I completely forgot about New Orleans Manor out on Murfreesboro Road–the “seafood” buffet. Before becoming a vegetarian, I went there for a business dinner and had a bit of a confrontation with a server who put frog legs on my plate without my express permission and was not able to remove them (they’re not able to touch any food that’s been on a diner’s plate). I was horrified.

And apparently we do have a Florida Seafood Kitchen out in Donelson. It’s the one that relocated from the now-Mexican restaurant location. Never count on a vegetarian to tell you where to get food that used to swim, though.
