What happens when you mix two ravenous teens, two adventurous mamas
and one incredible foodie town? You get the ultimate foodie road trip, of course!
We enjoyed homemade, gourmet popsicles at Las Paletas,

Otherwise, I don't know that we would have known about this sweet place.
Their business is simple. Popsicles. Done right. Nothing more.
Maybe we were crazy to eat cold food on a cold, drizzly evening, but oh my...
They were delicioso! Just look at all the crazy flavors.

Be sure to stop in if you ever get to Nashville.
Sunday morning, we went to Pancake Pantry,
which has also appeared on Food Network.

We arrived early, thinking we'd beat the church crowd rush. WRONG!
Freezing cold, we stood in line outside for about 1/2 an hour.
Thankfully, they had free coffee

Nathan and Marc were good sports, posing for a picture while we waited to order.
The food was worth the wait. Nathan's showing off his chocolate chip pancakes.
The guys talked about them the whole drive home!
Side note: Rob and I ate at Pancake Pantry's Gatlinburg location

South Nashville, aka Foodie Mecca!
Sure NYC has its restaurants, with long wait times
and reservations required weeks in advance.

Nashville does it right.
Unique places, like Boscos and Burger Up (sorry, no pics).

Great food, creative and delicious. Sometimes simple, sometimes not.
We had a fabulous foodie weekend, with some college fun thrown in.
Hard to beat!

What a fun post Karen! I have never been to Nashville but it looks like a lot of fun. The pictures are great, it looks like you had a great time! Thanks for the fun read.
Maybe South Nashville will hire me as their spokesperson. LOL!!! Great place to visit -- and from the looks of things, a great place to live. :)
I hope you get there someday.
Nice post. I love Nashville. I spent a summer there and I think I gained 10 pounds! Love your blog. I am following.
And thanks for the comments on my blog. Stay in touch
Those chocolate chip pancakes would be a big hit with my children. To bad we can't make a quick trip during our spring break this next week to enjoy some.
How fun! Sounds like my kind of roadtrip. I just may have to add Nashville to my travel wish list.
