As I mentioned before,I'm in Nashville, TN for a conference. Today at lunch instead of eating the usual bland conference food, I skipped out the side door to find one of the most famous BBQ joints in town - Jack's. Jack's is a no-nonsense place with rolls of paper towels on the table. I got in line and decided on the beef brisket sandwich with green beans and macaroni and cheese for sides (it was overcast and kinda cold out - screamed for comfort food). No sooner did I sit down with my food and a tiny bowl of the incredibly good vinegar based bbq sauce, then in came a troop of clowns. In full regalia - big red hair, rubber noses, full face paint the whole nine yards. They got in line and shortly after they came in a group of Naval officers in their dress blues got in line. The juxtaposition was too much! Only at Jack's (this is really when I needed my camera).
Anyway, back to the food. The beef brisket was wonderful and tender. I should've gotten a plate rather than the sandwich - the bread just got in the way of the flavor. The green beans were, well, grean beens - but I like green beans so I was happy. The macaroni and cheese was better than average - not as good as my mother's (this is one of her specialties) but good nonetheless.
I can't promise you the same kind of show I got when I went in there - but I definitely recommend Jack's for lunch if you're in downtown Nashville.
