Finally, some warmer weather to kick us into Spring mode! The market is heating up too… once again showing a steady increase over last year’s numbers. For more details, click HERE.
Exciting things are coming up around town. I must mention an event that is near and dear to me since I volunteer with the Tennessee Respite Coalition. The annual Beer and Cheese event is scheduled for April 10th, so grab a friend and come on by!

I’ll be giving away 2 free tickets on my Instagram account next week, so be watching for that!

The service wasn’t so good either.
All that said, we probably owe it another shot.
The surprise hit was Geist. I’d heard good things, so it shouldn’t have been so unexpected, but we loved every. single. bite. House cured charcuterie, homemade pickles and bread, and the bacon jam and brussels sprouts are both amazing…. we will be back! They have a
Where have YOU been and did you like it? I’d love to hear!
Until next time!
