Nothing like Fridays on Percy Priest Lake with the homies. Note to the packer of the cooler next time: bring more beer. It's hot outside and ice cold brews go down like water when you're under the sun on the lake.
Top 3 Nashville Restaurants
August 21st, 2008 PlacesTags: franklin, germantown, germantown cafe, hillsboro village, jackson's, nashville, saffire, saffire restaurant, tennessee, tn
My top 3 restaurants in Nashville are:
I've had great memories at Saffire, so it carries nostalgic value with me. That is not to say the food is bad; it's been voted Best Restaurant in Nashville for a couple years standing. Saffire is located close to downtown Franklin in the Factory. Pop a couple corks of wine, kick back to jazz music, and enjoy a great time.
The best thing about Germantown is the Sunday brunch. It'll make you want to slap your grandmother.
Jackson's is probably my "go-to" restaurant. If I'm trying to entertain an out-of-town guest, we go to Jackson's, if I want to grab an after movie snack and brew, I'll hit the bar at Jackson's. To best experience Jackson's, sit outside on patio on a late summer night and suck down a couple glasses of their signature pale ale. The chicken salad torrado (spinach wrap) is to die for. Jackson's is also a marquee spot to people-watch in Nashville's Hillsboro Village.

I love Rome's take on Michael Phelps' dominance in the Olympics.

This past Saturday, August 9th, 2008, my brother graduated from Auburn University. My father (seen right) was the first person in the family to graduate from college (Sewanee '69). My uncle was the second Brooks to graduate, followed by me in 2005, and now Alden.
A big congratulations to us all! Especially Alden!
P.S. Nice tie Scooby-Doo. Is it red or green?
