some time back i shared of my friend jenny who opened up pied piper creamery. entreprenuership, or an inability to work for someone, runs in the family. now my andy, my little adoptive brother (he was 12 when i first started hanging with him) has opened up his own restaurant, pied piper eatery on 1601 riverside drive, nashville, tn 37216 with his sister becky. i got a preview of the menu the week before he opened it looked awesome. judging from some of the reviews others agree. this one i thought was great.
Grizzly said he'd heard they have good veggie burgers there so I
decided to give it a shot. Let me tell you, this was absolutely the
BEST veggie burger I've ever had! I hardly ever use superlatives (let
alone in association with Nashville cuisine). But, I was absolutely
blown away! Andy Piper makes his veg-burgs from scratch, no pre-packaged, store bough jammies for him. I think he mixes brown rice, beans (I'm Puerto Rican, of course I like it), beats, mushrooms and a
bunch of stuff I couldn't figure out. I'm guessing it's a proprietary
secret. I got the mashed potatoes as a side and was totally knocked
out by them too! Red Russet (?) potatoes w/the skins still on, very
chunky style is my absolute favorite and Becky & Andy totally nailed
it.
