I have no doubt everything on their menu is fantastic but I haven’t been able to move past the muffuletta. It is divine. It feels like it melts in your mouth it’s so perfectly constructed and it’s time wrapped up gives it a cohesive feeling that other muffulettas can’t beat. They’re premade so you can be in and out in minutes. I first had one at the Richland farmer’s market and I was late to know they opened a brick and mortar.

I just have to share a heartwarming moment I had on my first visit. While greedily devouring a muffuletta and taking in the vibe, I noticed the guy behind the counter’s shirt read “Nduja”, which is a sausage I have been trying to find locally without luck. So I asked him about it and whether he knew where to find some. (I later learned he is the owner). After talking a bit, he said “from one chef to another” before telling me an improvised method of making some myself and I don’t know if my “Awww” was audible or not but I’ve told everyone who’ll listen to me that story and my wife at least twice. After years of working on my cooking at home, I felt seen. I was hugging myself mentally as I glided out the door. I’m pretty far from being a chef, for the record.

There are so many mediocre restaurants popping up around town. You don’t get this kind of flavor or feelings from a chain. Nashville, put...

This local power couple came to take Nashville by storm with their signature FatBelly Pretzels.

I’m GF/DF and thought very seriously about embracing the pain to sample their wares. I was especially tempted by the innovative sweet pretzel desserts - I may plan a trip in the future, gorge myself on pretzel danishes, babka, and pretzel cookies and deal with the days of suffering sure to follow.

Knowing I had food intolerances, I emailed a few days in advance to see what, if anything, I could try. I got an email back the same day with the suggestion of their Santa Barbara salad, sans pretzel crumbles and wheat berries, add a scoop of chicken salad.

Friends, let me just say - YUM.

My choice was fresh, filling, and delicious.

I watched 4 people I love dig in to various stuffed pretzel and dip combinations, moaning with pleasure as they devoured their delectable delights.

The smells alone were heavenly, and I'd go back to pleasure watch with or without my terrible plan to eat foods I'm intolerant to on purpose.

As you can see, I could go on about how wonderful our experience was, but really, you should check it out for yourself.

Pretty sure my husband's muffaletta sandwich weighed 3lbs. They have daily deli specials along with standard staples.

Do us all a favor and check it out yourself, and say HEY to Levon and Kim,...
