Tennessee Flavors ~ a giveaway!
The “Tennessee Flavors” benefit for the Culinary Arts Program at Nashville State Community College, is a week away. Are you planning to attend? I have to say, with over 70 local food and drink artisans (see below) preparing “Homegrown Tennessee Products”, this is certainly a tasting event you don’t want to miss. I went the first year and thoroughly enjoyed myself, but sadly had to miss last year because I was out of town. Luckily, this year, I’m around and will most certainly be there!

Last time that I was at Gray’s on Main was during the New Years season. Went with my three best friends and enjoyed a terrific meal before we all parted ways again. It was a great way to end our time together. We all live in seperate parts of the country but it’s so nice to come together in Franklin, TN.

When I first moved to TN, my aunt and uncle took me to Beans Creek. I loved the shop, wines and atmosphere. My uncle bought me a picture that I still have hanging in my kitchen.
The vendor list is impressive and I would love to a part of this event.

I attend the Taste of Music City last year, which was located down by the Cumberland River.. It is basically an event where you get to samples from all types of restaurants and or breweries in the area. It was a wonderful event, BUT with 2 hour left to go, the weather turned SOUR and there was literally a monsoon. Luckily, the vendors had tents and the wonderful vendors of both Yazoo and Whisper Creek allowed us to take shelter under their tents while the rain drenched the entire event. Most people left early, but we decided to “weather the storm” and enjoy a few drinks. It was such a fun time and after about an hour of rain, it cleared up and we got to hang out and enjoy the great drinks and people of Nashville. Wouldn’t trade that event for anything! T
This event sounds great too!

My husband and I ate at Puckett’s for the first time last month. We were hoping to get breakfast but the wait was so long we missed it and had lunch instead!

Before I moved to Nashville, I visited my best friend around the time of my birthday, along with our other best friend. They took me to Cabana for my birthday dinner and it was such a magical night. Then, when I moved here and started my job, my coworkers took me out for Happy Hour at Cabana my first week there. Full circle.
Germantown Cafe has always been a favorite restaurant. I am part of the Friday Night Chicks, a group of friends who eat out every Friday night. I love it when someone chooses Germantown Cafe for our Friday night dining adventure.
First date with my wife was at Red Pony. Then our engagement party. Then pretty much every important day since! Love them.

I always think of sunset grill fondly as my roomie in college and I would go there at 11 pm and eat off the late night menu!
I’m a fan on FB!
Hmmm Memory… Random wine/martini mid-week happy hours at the Red Pony!

Awe Stonehaus Winery- hometown memories of grabbing a bottle, some good cheese, and crusty bread and having inpromptu picnics with dear friends
Many great lunches at Fido. Food consistently creative (as well as a fair amount locally sourced) and very reasonably priced.

Mine would have to be Grinders Switch, most recent one too! I was the first and only customer in on a Monday morning. The lady was UBER helpful and kind and I learned so much about their wines and the different labels.
I already like you on FB, would love to win! I’ve been watching the site and trying to find a date!
SO many memories- Spend my wedding night at Gaylord Opryland, first Nashville coffee shop experience was at Fido, spent many late nights with the late night menu at Sunset Grill while attending Belmont, The Pharmacy is currently our favorite burger spot (15 years late, 10 years married) I love this city!!

Liked ya on facebook =) Thanks Beth!!
My favorite memory is stumbling upon City House in 2009 by searching online for pizza nearby. We walked in not knowing that we were about to witness one of the pioneers that turned Nashville into a dining destination. What a lucky find it was!
Fun wine classes at Fido!
Puckett’s has the most amazing live music…bands that should really be big! I take friends there all the time…great food and service.

In my family we always went to Jimmy Kelly’s for graduation celebrations. Even though we had a family celebration elsewhere, we always went for dinner in the days afterward. Now that my daughter will be graduating in the near future (gasp!), I plan to carry on this tradition with her!

We always try to stop by Beans Creek Winery for a few bottles on the way to or from Chattanooga. The Gewurztraminer is my favorite, but I can never pronounce it until I have a few glasses.
Hey Beth, I am not entering because I already have a ticket! :) I too blogged about this delicious event. I almost did not want to blog about it because it has felt like my own little secret gem where I could go taste all the delicious local food and drinks all for myself. But, it is too good to keep to myself! So I blogged about it!
My mate and I spent his first birthday at Valentinos and it was a wonderful evening. It was a night that I will always remember.

Oh I have a great memory, when my family was visiting TN for their first time this past December and we went to Arrington Vineyards. What a great place despite the really cold weather that day. After the wine tasting and a picnic next to the fire place, it all got better!!
I went to Arrington with a group of friends for a bachelorette get-together. I really enjoyed the fun atmosphere and the wine tasting. The blackberry wine is my absolute favorite! Thanks for the giveaway – such a good one!

I went to Fido for a great cup of Bongo Java Coffee and noticed their menu ! I was curious as the good smelled amazing ! Curiosity got the best of me and I just had to try the Sweet Potato French Toast. O.M.G. I devoured it and ordered an order to go for the next morning !! It’s my new favorite place to indulge :)
Off I go to Like Your Facebook Page and cross my fingers !!
Okay I just liked your Facebook page! Shauna Lee, that’s me !

I love so many of these places. Fido has to be my favorite because I live in Hillsboro Village.
However, I had a great experience volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank. They have delicious lunches prepared by a chef for members of the area. Luckily, I got to meet the chef and also fry pounds of chicken with one of the chefs from Watermark. It was such a fun time.. and I got to wear a chefs coat not to mention have an AMAZING meal!
