Trace is gone

A longtime Nashville restaurant that went out of business is coming back with a new name and a new owner. The Trace in Hillsboro Village closed last month, but the owner of Tangredi's Italian Kitchen on Elliston Place has opened a new restaurant in that space.

The new establishment will be called T's Tuscan Bar & Grill.

The Trace, the longtime fine-dining spot in Hillsboro Village, has closed its doors permanently.

Entrepreneur and wine collector Ken Perry has owned The Trace since late 2004. Its history includes time under corporate owners from the Southern Restaurant Group. The restaurant's previous incarnation, Faison's, was a pioneering business on the Nashville dining scene starting in the early 1980s.

Some of this story came from WSMV Channel 4.

Mitt Romney visits the Pancake Pantry

Mitt Romney visited the Pancake Pantry this morning and ate while also visiting and meeting people. He ate well and tipped well, from what I hear. I think he seems to be a good guy and of all of the guys left in the race....He is my current choice for next president. Good luck Mitt and keep enjoying the good food.

Thanks to Michael Delgiorno for the info and knowing what the morning was like at the Pancake Pantry.

Pancake Pantry to be Featured on the Splendid Table

This comes from the Splendid Table.

Expect to wait in line when you go to Pancake Pantry. But, then, it's simply one of the best pancake houses in the country and folks say it's worth the wait. The Sterns say the must-haves are the buckwheat cakes with ginger cream on the side, the sweet potato pancakes, and the Swedish cakes. The hash browns are first rate, too.

A Visit to Savarino's Cucina Today

Today we visited Savarino's Cucina in Hillsboro Village. We had some coffee, a latte and an espresso as well as some biscotti's, macaroon's and cookies. I also found out that their Italian ice cream machine is currently not working. I bet that was worn out during the terrible heat over the summer. Be sure to stop in and visit them for good, home-made food and desserts.

It is truly a delight to visit and take the time to enjoy and relax.
