The East Nashville invasion is complete - Fresh Blends and Ugly Mugs have both officially opened their doors to the public. We set out on a mission last week to try them both, choosing to visit Fresh Blends first and save Ugly Mugs for their grand opening on Saturday. 
Fresh Blends is tiny and bare, as [...]

Take a break from the Olympics tonight, and tune into a different type of competitive sport: Competitive popsicle making. You may remember late last year, when reports filtered in that the ladies of Las Paletas had been tricked into a Throwdown with Iron Chef Bobby Flay. They’ve kept quiet on who won, but we can’t imagine [...]

Right on the heels of Tasti D-Lite’s expansion announcement, we whipped out our google-fu and found out that they aren’t the first yogurt shop to break ground in Nashville.

If you’re like us, paying New York only the occasional visit, you may not have heard of Tasti D-Lite. We did some research and discovered a tasty frozen yogurt treat with a cultish following of passionate and loyal fans, which can never be a bad thing. Previously confined to New York, New Jersey, Texas and [...]

Not quite free, but close enough that we’re really excited - The Cheesecake Factory is celebrating their 30th anniversary by offering $1.50 cheesecake slices today. A slice of cheesecake will normally set you back 7-9 bucks, so we definitely appreciate the offering. 
 
To kick-off the anniversary celebration and in commemoration of National Cheesecake Day on July [...]

Predictably, Nashvillians are a bit defensive of their favorite places to eat. When we posted AOL’s City’s Best list last week, the feedback suggested two things; First, that we should all try to convince the tourists that the “local slang” for the Pancake Pantry is “PanPan,” and second, that no list of bests will ever [...]
