Editor’s Note: What you’re looking at here is almost as much a review of all the East Nashville spots owned by Matt Charette as it is a look at his newest place, Drifters. But Bob’s review of Drifters depends pretty heavily on a familiarity with those other businesses, so I’ve left the whole thing intact. [...]

Spicehead Paradise: Nashville’s Third Annual Hot Chicken Festival Recap
Ahhhhh. Another East Nashville Fourth of July, where endless pops of fireworks begin two days before and continue for at least another week. I ask other friends (westies and southies) if people continue to play with explosives after America’s special day. Usually the answer is “no.” I guess we just have more fun over here [...]
A Drunkard’s Brunch: Mitchell’s Deli
On Sundays I don’t often feel like venturing out into the world before noon. By then, finding sustenance is a priority.

For me, the experience sparks fond childhood memories of visiting my grandparents when [...]
East Nashville Farmers Market Wednesday
It’s Wednesday, so we headed over to the East Nashville Farmers Market to shop and take in the sights on this beautiful, hot afternoon.
While browsing, we took a moment to sit on the haybales and listen to the Howling Brothers play a little old-fashioned southern folk music.
We got free samples of a nice, tangy salsa [...]
Market to Table: Dang Good Eastside Pork Chops
We mentioned on Wednesday that we’d picked up a few things at the East Nashville Farmers Market. Tonight we took some of that food from market to table, and it was so tasty we thought we’d share it with you.
For your own Dang Good Eastside Pork Chops, you’ll want to visit the folks from Peaceful [...]
East Nashville Farmers Market Is Grrrrrrreat!
Earlier today we were puttering around the house and realized that it was Wednesday afternoon, which meant the East Nashville Farmers Market was up and running over on 10th Street. We put the puttering on the back burner and took a quick drive to check out what’s on offer this summer.
There was a bit of [...]
