Nashville, Franklin restaurant inspections find wastewater, moldy food

Nashville health inspectors suspended a restaurant’s permit in October after finding wastewater pooled throughout the kitchen. At other Davidson County establishments, inspectors found water dripping through black buildup onto ice, cooked chicken skewers hanging from a gas line and moldy strawberries in a walk-in cooler. Davidson County logged 1,591 food-service inspection records in October, including 1,069 routine inspections and 522 follow-ups. Inspectors awarded perfect scores during 331 inspections. But nine routine inspections, detailed below, scored 61 or below. Nashville Korean BBQ Hot Pot temporarily lost its permit after it continued operating after inspectors discovered a wastewater leak, according to the Oct. 14 inspection report. During an Oct. 20 reinspection, the restaurant's score was upgraded to 92. In Williamson County, inspectors conducted 213 food-service inspections, including 160 routine inspections and 53 follow-ups. Eighty-three inspections earned a perfect score. The county’s three lowest scores ranged from 74 to 77. Several other establishments improved substantially on follow-up.

This Small-Town Tennessee Pie Shop Serves Slices Worth Every Single Mile

A chocolate turtle pie took first place at the Tennessee State Fair four separate times. That same pie is still the best-seller at one small bakery on a historic town square. The menu goes far past that blue-ribbon slice. The shop offers more than 100 kinds of pie, from banana cream to a fruity creation called Tropical Storm. I can’t imagine reading that list without picking three favorites before lunch.
