Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint

Well, we made it to Nashville. The house is coming along... it'll be a work in progress for quite a while. But we love it. 

One of the things about moving that Riley was most looking forward to was trying some new food joints - particularly spots featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. We are obsessed with the Food Network. 

First up was Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint. There are several locations in the Nashville area. We opted to stop by the Mount Juliet location. I know it's not the flagship, but it was close to the shopping we were doing in the morning. If you're looking for it, it is across the street from the Providence shopping center. 

As you know, Riley has a severe allergy to eggs... eating at new places is a tad bit terrifying for me. But the staff at Martin's was amazing. They knew what had eggs (the buns) and what would be safe for him to eat. They made him a grilled chicken breast with a side of fries. Reagan and I ordered BBQ pork sandwiches. Reagan had a side of fries and I chose the mac-and-cheese. All of it was DELICIOUS. 

Some things you may want to know ahead of time: 

• You have to go up to the counter, order, then pick a seat and wait for your food. 
• The BBQ sauce is vinegar-based. I LOVED it. Reagan LOVED it. Just thought I'd let you know. 

Send us your recommendations... We are always looking for new stuff to do.
