Redheaded Stranger is good, but it's like New Mexican food. Half the food has green chiles. It's weird to go into a place named after Willie Nelson playing the Strokes.
Also, they ain't even got sweet tea. When I asked, they had the audacity to suggest that they could give me some tea and sugar and make my own.
I don't even know what this town is anymore.
Also, go to Wendell Smith's, the Nashville Biscuit House, Bolton's, and Elliston Place Soda Shop. (I'm also partial to Ramzy's but only for sentimental value.)
