Maryanne made it feel like we were home! Super informative on how to make a genuine, homemade biscuit. There is an art and process to making the perfect biscuit. This is a must do when in Nashville...you won't be disappointed. The location and building is unassuming but once you are inside you feel the love

She clearly knows her biscuits! The location was unexpected and a little hard to find. Ms. Bird explained that her husband actually owned the little industrial park and when her classes got larger, instead of continuing to teach at her home, she fashioned a charming kitchen in the back of the building. There aren't any signs from the street, yet, so it's awkward driving around when you don't know what you are looking for. But one quick call and we were united with the other 12 people waiting for the class to begin. Maryann did a great job of explaining her credentials and how she fell in love with biscuits. She made biscuits right in front of us, talking us thru the process while making everyone comfortable with one another. She answered questions. She educated us about substitutions. And then she served us each one of those biscuits, complete with sausage gravy, to enjoy. After each table (there were about 6?) was given the tools and materials to make their own flour-y butter soaked delicacies. While those were cooking? Pictures, clean up, and a few products for sale (we picked up some biscuit cutters!) It was a great day, and wasn't affected by the heat OR scattered thunderstorms! Thankful for a fun activity we could enjoy even when we got back home. Lots of couples, moms and their adult children, girls on a Nashville weekend. Highly recommend

Now that these girlies have their biscuit making skills down they can face adulthood head on!

I've always wanted to learn how to make macarons but the process seemed intimidating and the cost for classes in my area is high. When my friends proposed this, I couldn't believe the value. We had a hands on class where Heather taught us the best tips and tricks to tackle macarons at home. I left armed with a box of tasty treats (that I made!), detailed recipes, and so many great pieces of general baking advice. My baking has improved already. I would have given Eat the Art 5 stars if my experience had ended with just the class. But now that I have lots of time and nowhere to go, I decided to put my skills to the test. I made macarons at home! Heather is obviously an artist and you will definitely want to do as she says and "eat the art." If you're looking for a girls' weekend activity or something fun for a bachelorette party, you will not regret taking a class at Eat the Art!

My wife and I took multiple Italian language programs and Jessica, our instructor, was the best (lei a' perfetta!). NCE in general offers so many classes, many language, skill learning, physical education, technical etc that there is really something for everyone. Their prices are very very reasonable (if you are thinking about learning a language look to NCE first - the others are very expensive). Our classroom was on W Charlotte in an old high school that was turned into a learning center, air conditioned, easy parking, a very nice learning environment. It is sponsored by the City of Nashville, and you can see their quarterly classes on line and download a quarterly education catalog (spring, summer, fall, winter). NCE is a great low-risk, low-cost way to finally get out and learn something new!

It has been a while and there is STILL trauma regarding how my family and I were treated. I became…read moreso depressed behind the lack of compassion, lack of humility, arrogance and simple ugliness towards us when we needed the dentist the most. I recognize there are some healthcare professionals that pursue the career path because of a desire to help others and earn a decent living doing what they love. Of course, there are the others like Dr. Hill Ferguson who should NEVER have pursued a career in healthcare when she obviously isn't remotely interested in the action verb of, CARING! To use the title "Dr" or "D.D.S"within the same sentence with the name Hill Ferguson should be considered a criminal act of treason. Outside of the act of pulling teeth without prior consent because "it was loose." Knicking gums to the point an infection caused over a months hospital stay, and topping all of the turmoil off with an arrogant, apathetic, gaslighting and dismissive attitude speaks a lot more to the true character of the individual than any title can ever show. Educational institutions can only teach a subject but not an emotion such as empathy or benevolence. There are many well educated sociopaths in the world masquerading as caring individuals in the healthcare industry. Additionally, we should be cautious of boasting the services of procedural sedation, which isn't a positive if it removes the rights of the patient to be asked and to give their consent. And, removing the rights of mentally challenged patients to be accompanied by family or assistants to their dental treatment is like sending a defenseless child alone to a predator physician and JUST HOPING she's not inappropriately touched while she's sedated and having teeth pulled without consent. Two important words to instill to all ages, reciprocity and Karma. These are real words with real respectability. These are not words that should only exist in the psychological.

It has a modern vibe, and I love the black and white color scheme. It gets busy, so ordering online is my preference. You can dine in, but when it's busy, you may not be able to find a table. There's free parking on the street, but depending on the time of day, you may have to park further away and walk.

Parking wasn't too bad unless you have mobility issues. Despite their whole thing being NY-style bagels, I actually selected a Reuben on Pumpernickel. I wasn't feeling like eating a whole bunch of whipped cream cheese or a chicken salad. Portion sizes were pretty good, actually. I think the main things for me would be to simplify the menu and offer size options. Something like half a bagel or like a "classics variety" (like a variety cheesecake). So you could pick and choose quarters or maybe thirds. I was happy to see they had savory cream cheese options because they are so underrated. I also got their honey lavender lemonade which was fire and not too sweet. The staff were all great and it is clearly a pretty popular spot. Overall no issues and I will probably go again.

It's always amazing, authentic southern style food. But what makes this place so special is the people. The Arnold's put so much love and care into their place, you can't help but feel like one of them. I brought my mom, dad, aunt, and uncle here. My dad loves grouper and when I saw fried grouper on the menu I knew he had to try it. Only problem was they served it on Tuesday and he wouldn't get in until Thursday. Cut to my insane ass showing up and asking them if they could please serve it on that specific Thursday because my dad wanted to try it but he wouldn't get in on time and I wanted to make his trip special because I am truly a daddy's girl and he's my fav bestie right now. Yes I rambled all of that at them in one breath, I am a a talkative lil broad. They not only made my crazy special day fried grouper happen, but made a special point of dropping by the table to welcome my family to Nashville and extend well wishes on us. Okay so now that I've established that the Arnold's are such warm and loving people I can talk about the food. Oh my god the food. I got the roast beef, which is basically prime rib and can be drowned in au jus that I would drink straight from a cup, it's a divine nectar of the gods. We got almost every single side and loved every single side. I'm obsessed with fried green tomatoes so those were my star side, but my mother loved the greens and my dad loved the corn. Do not miss the bread pudding it is like a hug from your tastebuds to your brain. If you're like oh I don't like bread pudding I don't care shut up and order it it's that good it will convert you. I love you guys. I appreciate y'all so much. I'll see you soon I need more bread pudding. I was trying to be a skinny bitch to bamboozle a man to fall in love with me but unfortunately I'm about to have a bread pudding summer so that will not be happening and I am a okay with that because that bread pudding loves and treats me better more than any man ever could.

Such a classic comfort food spot with a super friendly server and an easy setup where you get in line, grab your food, then find a table. The fried fish was honestly the star. Perfectly crispy on the outside while still soft and flaky inside. So satisfying. The fried pork chop was a little dry for my taste, but all the sides were delicious and made up for it. The mac and cheese especially was sooo good. Overall, really comforting Southern food with a welcoming atmosphere and definitely worth trying if you want a more authentic Nashville experience.
