After my dad had his cardiac arrest on Friday, he was considerate
enough to be sent to a hospital near Nashville‘s West End. Which means that whenever my mom and brother and I get tired of hospital food, we’ve got some of Nashville’s finest merely steps away. Such as Rotier’s Restaurant, the 65-year-old eatery equally as famous for its meat-and-three plates as its cheeseburgers on french bread. And Michaelangelo’s Pizza, a popular spot with pizza that tastes garden fresh that’s only about 10 years old but looks and feels much older — in a good way. But the hospital food court has some great options, too — the pulled pork barbecue on cornbread pancakes today was excellent. Sauce a little on the sweet side, but there you go. And, of course, the fact that we’re talking about food instead of … well … funerals makes everything taste all the better.

Enjoy your Dad as much as you can. I really miss mine. Glad he is better. Mary
Rotier’s has the best burgers. On my first date with my wife (quit a few years back) I took her there for a burger. We lived in Sewanee, TN at the time and it was a couple hours drive. We still make an annual visit to enjoy their burgers with a bottled Coke.
Sending get well wishes to your Dad.

Thank you all for the kind wishes and positive thoughts. You lifted us up when we needed it. My dad’s getting stronger every day — amazing!
