An apron with my name

I want an apron with my name on it. I stopped working full time in January. I can’t quite bring myself to call it “retired.”…

Falling out of love with my grill

I never thought I would see this day and I’m even hesitant to write about it, but I’ve had a revelation regarding my gas grill…

The Wedge

Forget grain bowls, coconut-oil based dressings and…please…no more kale. Lately, I’ve been pining away for a good old Wedge. No one knows who invented that…

King Daddy and I adopted a travel plan when we first went overseas. Go to one locale and make yourself a regular. When we went…

Goulash

I seem to be surrounded by goulash these days. Now that Dammit Boy lives in Vienna he makes it or eats it in a restaurant…

Jim ‘N Nick’s

I know a thing or two about barbecue (master certified judge and competition cook, but who’s bragging) and I have to admit Jim ‘N Nick’s is the best commercial barbecue I’ve ever eaten anywhere. Yes, it’s a chain but it’s a family-run chain. There really is a Jim and a Nick. Their pulled pork is competition quality, the collard greens are the best and King Daddy almost wept one day while consuming the beef brisket. And the cheese biscuits…don’t even get me started. The closest location to us is at 3068 Mallory Lane in Cool Springs. But worth a road trip if there’s not one near you.

Yes!! Love Jim N Nick’s. Every time we go to Nashville we can’t help ourselves. We have to stop in. And the staff is as incredible as the cue.

  I would go there just for the biscuits. But the barbecue is so great and the Jim and Nick’s organization do a lot of charity work, which makes me love them all the more.
