Breakfast at Puckett's

A few Saturdays ago me and my wife were awakened by our 17 month old boy about 6 am. We were just excited that it wasn’t like his weekday routine of waking up at 5:30 am. Anyway, we all got up, got dressed, and decided we may as well get the day started on a good note with a good breakfast. So, we headed to downtown Franklin (TN), and enjoyed the weekend breakfast buffet at Puckett’s Grocery. (I hear their lunch is good too!)

It was our first trip to Puckett’s as a family and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The food was delicious and the service was INCREDIBLE! It’s a nice cozy atmosphere that reminds me of growing up in the country. It’s no psuedo-country atmosphere like Cracker Barrell. This is the real deal.

The waitress took a liking to our boy and flirted with him and went to refill his sippy cup with milk right away. We enjoyed our breakfast so much that we went back the following Saturday. As soon as we walked in the door, she remembered us and called out my son’s name. She was excited to see him, along with every other kid that came in. Talk about a good impression, that was it. We sat down at her table again and she even remembered what we had to drink. Now, I was really impressed. We’ve now been 3 straight weeks and it is a new family tradition.

So, if you ever want to meet us for breakfast on Saturday morning around 8:00 am, odds are we will be at Puckett’s, sitting at Sally’s table in the back, next to the pole. It’s an open invitation so come join us.

My favorite thing about Spring Break

I know there are a lot of things people enjoy about spring break, but this morning on my way to work I realized a new favorite about Spring Break. It's that traffic in our town is a lot better during rush hours! I guess the Cool Springs area in Franklin just isn't a major Spring Break destination.

With everyone out of town on vacations, high school drivers sleeping in, college students away on service trips or partying at the beach, the traffic this morning didn't hinder my commute one bit. As long as TDOT and the construction crews don't catch on, I should be smooth sailing the rest of the week!
