About Me
- Name: Aunt B
- Location: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Like Donnell Alexander says, "It's about completing the task of living with enough spontaneity to splurge some of it on bystanders, to share with others working through their own travails a little of your bonus life." But, it's mostly the kind of place that folks looking for "girls and cars" stumble across by accident.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
Aunt B.--Your kind host.The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.
The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.
Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.
Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.
The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"
The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.
The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.
Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.
Her Lover--Her Husband.
The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.
JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.
Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!
The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.
The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.
The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.

NO!!!!
Do Not Tell Me This!!!!!!
Lie to me, tell me Granite Falls will be there until the end of time.
Dammit, I miss living in Nashville.
yep, it's true - see their website: http://www.granitefallsnashville.com/
crap.
rattlesnake chicken.
i'm gonna miss rattlesnake chicken.
although, having said that, the last time I ate there (a few months ago) it was clear that the service had gone down hill and the place just wasn't as good as it had previously been, imho.
Granite Falls was the first place I took my future wife on a date. No, check that, it's the second. First date was lunch at Green Hills Grill, may it ever prosper. Second date was Granite Falls. I think. It might have been the third. Crap, my memory is failing and I'm only 41 and I've only been married 5 years.
I will definitely not miss their "new" breakfast ... which I guess is now their "old" breakfast. It was not tasty.
I'm gonna have to try and make this at home. Were the onions yellow or red, raw or sauteed and carmelized? Was cheese an option? What kind of bun?
Enquiring minds need to know.
Ooo, Peg, you will not be sad. The onions were red and raw and you could have it on either a wheat or an onion bun. I usually went for wheat because there were already onions. You could get cheese, but I found with the sour cream, the cheese seemed a little too much. But others thought otherwise.
And, I must say that, I'm not a big fan of sour cream. In fact the patio burger was the only thing I ate it on.
All I remember is their martinis. Mmmm, martinis.
I'm with Chris. Mmmmmm martinis.
-J
They had awesome martinis.
Absolute vodka martinis so cold that penquins shivered.
Damn, once again.
