Having to be at a convention when you are in Nashville is kind of a bummer – but being close to great places for lunch helps. Just a quick walk from the convention center to Church Street I found Puckett’s Grocery. The crowd of patrons eating outside was a clear indication that I picked the right place.
I was hungry but didn’t know that I wanted. As I walked thru the big wooden door, the first thing I saw was the specials blackboard with the daily special of a southern favorite – FRIED CHICKEN. I knew right away that I had to try this. The breading was crispy and kept in all moisture so that the chicken stayed nice and juicy.
Puckett’s also had a great drink menu with several original creations. I decided to try the “Nashcow Mule” – which was made with gin from the local distillery (Corsair), grapefruit juice, ginger ale, & St. Germain. It was so refreshing with the taste of the grapefruit juice that it made me feel like I should be sitting on a beach.
