Here's is the site for you home cooked food.

Let me list my favorites. They will be in Nashville Tn Paris Ky, and Louisville Ky.
Some of my favorites are not listed, Ramsey's, Bar B Cutie, and Alfalfa.

The best meat in three ever. This is in Nashville.

Pancakes? My wife used to work here as cashier. Are your favorite country star getting fat? This is why.

Now for Louisville. I know the owner, but I can be objective in saying this place rocks!

Want to pay homage to the cheese burger? Go to its birthplace.

OK folks, look over the site, see if your favorite eatery is there. Sadly there are no Lexington Ky restaurants are listed. We have become a place to go for good small restaurants and deli's. Third Street Stuff has fine soups and sandwiches.

1. what the heck is a "meat and three"?

sounds like either an interesting date or a little bit disgusting. I pictured things like the Turducken.

[AllegroRondo]

2. meat plus three sides

standard at barbecue places around here.

[unpossibles]

3. probably why I'm not familiar with the term

I bet my dad knows it though.

[alfredo]

8. I think it is a term used mostly in the southeast, or just the

area around Tennessee.

[unpossibles]

10. I grew up in rural Kentucky and lived in Florida

but for the past decade and a half, I've been one of "those" people who would rather just eat the side dishes. The reason I said my dad would know is because he seems to have BBQ joint frequent flier miles.

12. You probably know sea food more than us folks from the interior.

4. I found one I like

They have the best steaks I've ever eaten. I've eaten higher priced steaks in fancier restaurants but not any better.

Cattlemen's Steak House in OKC
http://roadfood.com/Reviews/Overview.aspx?RefID=160

Cattlemen's Steak House is in the middle of Stockyard City, home of the largest stocker/feeder cattle market in the world where weekly auctions are held. It's not far from downtown OKC business district. So during lunch you will see a table of cowboys in hats,boots & jeans sitting next to a table of businessmen in 3 piece suits.

5. I've had steak soup. Wonderful.

[Nicole]

7. Yes!

That is good stuff. :9

6. When in Nashville you MUST go to the Loveless cafe. MMMMM

http://www.lovelesscafe.com/

I love that place.

[alfredo]

9. Have you ever been to The Perfect Pig? It is west of

Nashville.

For more upscale, I loved Green Hills Diner. If I wanted to get funky, Brown's Diner is the place to go for a beer and burger, then slip outside with a member of a famous duet to smoke a joint in Freidmans (sp) parking lot.

11. Is this related to the Roadkill Cafe?

[alfredo]

13. If it tastes good, I will give it a try.

14. Vegeburgers!

Best vegeburgers in the state! Located in south St. Helena

http://www.taylorsrefresher.com/

And, for the more carniverously inclined among us

"The Hiway 29 Cafe" on Highway 29 between American Canyon and Napa

it's not listed in "Road Food"...However; it has the best cafe/diner type breakfast in the area:

Sausage
Bacon
Steak
Biscuits and gray
Pork Chops
Hash Browns
Eggs
Pancakes....etc. etc.

[alfredo]

15. Automatic Refresher?

What does that mean?

[Adsos Letter]

17. Ya know...? I don't know...

I worked in the Napa Valley for 30+ years and I don't think I ever noticed that...and I ate there plenty of times, too. :shrug:

:D

[alfredo]

18. It's one of life's mysteries.

[Adsos Letter]

19. yes! ...and since it's only about 30 minutes from here I now

have an excuse to drive up there and enjoy their fare...all justifiable as research for DU. :D

[alfredo]

20. Any justification is alright.

16. Alfalfa Restaurant in Lexington. Serves meat, but no beef.

This place has been in business for 35 years. The owners of the business has always come from the inside.

35 years ago


The barefoot girl on the left front row, went on to be one of the top young businesswomen in America. She now owns Lynn's Paradise Cafe. A review is in the OP.


An Alfalfa favorite:

Pancake Sandwhich

Only for the truly adventurous; two of our buckwheat pancakes stacked with choice of sausage, bacon and either city or country ham then topped with one egg any style.
