Local Produce PLUS LUNCH!

I'm long-winded. In an effort to keep y'all reading, I'm shortening the posts. Let me know what ya think bmyrick@musiccityeats.com

Lunching in Sylvan Park has few options. If you're in the neighborhood and need lunch to-go plus a little shopping hit The Produce Place. Owner, Barry Burnette, is celebrating 20 years at his Murphy Road location. The Produce Place continues to support local grown produce, dairy and meats. I pick up sausages, cheeses, greens and fruit grown in Tennessee. Back to lunch - They make three-four soups fresh daily and their chicken salad is out of this world. They also have pre-made blue cheese and "cafe" salads ready-to-go. Stop in to pick up gourds for your low-cost centerpiece (2 for $1). Don't forget to pick up bread or gourmet chocolates - sizable sections of both items. Lastly, my boyfriend's addicted to the vanilla granola. These guys boast a huge wall of flavors plus nuts and dried fruits.

Even if you don't live in Sylvan Park this place is worth the drive. It's better than fighting the soon-to-be-overwhelming-crowds at the new Green Hills Whole Foods.

KEEP EATING OUT, NASHVILLE!
