The key question when one awakes on a random morning in Nashville is,“ Where are my biscuits and gravy?”
Regular readers will understand that, while all biscuits and gravy are good, there is a certain standard of breakfast execution that must be attained to bring complete satisfaction.
So, in a random spot check, I drifted in one Saturday morning to sniff around and see how the biscuits and gravy were running.
The new Muddy Boots is more spacious and somehow more modern looking, with an eclectic collection of small tables that can be moved around to suit the needs of different sized groups.
The breakfast menu remains intact. I had the full order of biscuits and sausage gravy with a side order of eggs over easy. My companion had the regular breakfast with eggs, sausage, and toast.
As I waited for my order, I sniffed around to satisfy myself that all was more or less as expected and suitable for all future Muddy Boots activities, and I found it to be so.
When our order arrived, I was pleased and gratified to find a classic order of my favorite breakfast, just as it always had been uptown.
There’ s something about biscuits and gravy that makes a man philosophical— that gives him confidence and hope, bracing him up for the day. The coffee was strong and dark-roasted. Sunlight streamed in the window and the sound of jovial banter rose from the tables of contented customers.
I had relocated my gravitational center and all was well with the world. •
