[...] Tennessean/Metro Mix is hosting another edition of its annual Toast of Music City poll. Last year some of the top restaurants ended up being Olive Garden, Shoney’s, and Golden Corral. SERIOUSLY?!?!?! WTF?!?!? Get your ass over to the poll and make sure such a travesty doesn’t [...]

[...] Remember last year’s Toast Of Music City? If not, let us refresh your memory. The Tennessean’s readers voted Shoney’s, Golden Corral and Olive Garden as some of the top spots to grab a bite to eat, and Nashvillest readers were mortally offended. And so we’re begging you: Get over there and make things turn out right this year! [...]

Of course many many moons ago, I betcha even Shoney’s was respectable, thus spawning the chain in and of itself.

Stay tuned for the Loveless Cafe and Theme Park! Ride the biscuit roller coaster!

I hate to push this whole thing along down a slippery slope, *but* Nashville Scene writer Carrington Fox would just love to see Wild Ginger, Wildwood, and just about every stand alone place she has reviewed morph into chains growing like kudzu to satisfy her need to see these creative chefs be able to make a ton o' money while spreading their vission of the fine dining experience.

Hey @Dave, thanks for the advice on Nonna’s, I’ve been looking for good Italian.

Hey @Nashvillest, you rock.

But I will admit I am a sucker for Shoney’s breakfast. But I’m also from the North.

Ugh, chaoin restaurant food is packaged food shipped in from thousands of miles away. There is less nutrition in it too. I wish more folks were into the whole local food movement, where you buy your produce from places that grow within 100 miles of your home..

Maybe all the Scene writers went over and voted in mass droves….certainly makes their list look better.

I think this list is very representative of the types of Tennessean commenters/voters. You know all the cool kids have already weighed in through The Scene’s Best of Nashville.

Way to jump on the bandwagon there Tennessean, 10 years too late.
