Howdy listers... Well, if you're ever in the Nashville area during lunch hours, I highly recommend you visit the Station Inn. Pat Isbey and a friend have started up a lunch cafe there. They have some great food there.

Today, I stopped by for lunch along with a couple of friends. I ordered the barbecue pork sandwich and macaroni salad. The meat was as tender and had a wonderful hickory smoked flavor. Not too overpowering with the smokeiness and they topped it off with a hot slaw and let me tell you, get the hot slaw. Really ties it all together. One of my friends got the "Baloney Sammy", and from the looks of it, it had to be the thickest slice of balogna I've ever seen on a sandwich! At least, AT LEAST an inch and a half thick. He reported it had a great flavor and the macaroni salad had a perfect blend. The other friend got the Hot Beef. We all agreed that for the money, this was the best deal. Because there is NO way one person can eat this by themselves. It was stacked so high that a show pony couldn't jump over it if it had to. Again, the report is the flavor was outstanding.

Music being played on the system was Marty Robbins. I must admit, the Station Inn, during the day looks like a crack house amid all the new construction going on around it. I wouldn't have it any other way either. With the smoker outside, the smell invades the Station Inn with a pleasant hickory aroma. The place oozes of character and the food is both affordable and tasty.

Do yourself a favor and drop in from 11:00 AM till 3:00 PM. There is no telling who you'll see there. Today, I seen and visited with the one and only Wichita Rutherford and some of the guys from the band the Racontours. Very hip place. Go getcha some.
