NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — While most people know June as LGBT Pride Month, the summer month also celebrates the best kind of southern fare: soul food.
The south is especially known for good down home cookin', and soul food is easily found in Tennessee. Whether it's from a meat-and-three or your own kitchen, soul food can warm the heart as well as the stomach.
Here are some of the places you can find soul food in Nashville.
Arnold's Country Kitchen
A Nashville treasure, Arnold's Country Kitchen has some of the best home cooking available this side of the Mason-Dixon Line. Choose from set options for your main entrée during the week and add rotating side dishes for that classic meat-and-three. Top things off with a slice of pie or dish of banana pudding, and don't forget the sweet tea to drink!
