FRIDAY FIVES

If you come to Tennessee, this is where I would take you to eat at...

{in no particular order}

1. BUSTER'S Place in Murfreesboro. It is a total dive but they make delicious fresh beef hamburgers. They only make them at certain hours of the day (till 4pm only?) so get em' while they're hot. And let me tell you... THEY ARE FILLING!

2. City Cafe in Murfreesboro. Southern Cooking and hospitality. I personally love their Turkey and dressing (stuffing for you Californians) or any pie. Besides the price being extremely reasonable, you can never go wrong with the special of the day.

3. I don't have anywhere else to take you to eat that isn't a chain and I don't go to downtown Nashville to eat but... Michael gives a mean tour of both our city and Nashvegas. This is where we'd take you in Nashville:

Love Circle for one view of Down town, Titans Stadium, The Parthenon, ok- maybe Rotiere's we would need to stop for lunch anyway and it's right next to the Parthenon, historic and the bomb, if it's in season I'd love to take you to a Nashville Predators game and of course drive around downtown, see the Capitol (where President James K. Polk is buried) and the Bicentenial Mall/Farmers Market. If it's the summer and you have kids, they should bring a suit and a towel so we can play in the waterway display. Whoo hoo!

4. If we are in Murfreesboro: We'd see the monument for the geographical Center of Tennessee located on Lascassas Pike near Greenland
http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=26067. Talk about living in "Middle Tennessee"! :) We'd also take you to the Stones River Civil War Battlefield http://www.nps.gov/stri/
and maybe the greenway trail for some exercise after we eat at our favorite Indian Food, The Clay Pit. mmmm Tikka Masala... mmmm.

5. My house, my backyard and my kids. I'll make you grilled cheese or peanut butter and jelly. ;)
