Lunch on the Wild Side
By Ed. Filed in Food, Life, Travel |
Sick of hamburgers and sick of pizza. What would be good for lunch?
I decided to just get in the car and drive around until I got inspiration. I headed out toward the Opryland Hotel and Mall. There’s dozens of food places out there. I was about to pull into the only Bob Evans in Nashville, when I noticed a catfish house decided to turn in there. The Caney Fork Catfish looks like a tourist trap, and sure enough there were two busloads of senior citizens in there. But I took a seat at the bar and that side was about empty. They have a couple of nice flat screen TVs on the wall and the bartender was friendly enough. So I ordered a plate of catfish. It was OK. The sides were a little cup of cole slaw and a little bowl of white beans. They were good, too. Not much seasoning on any of it, but if you are catering to busloads of senior citizens then that’s what you get.
Better than a burger, for sure. But there’s better catfish places around here.
