This past
Saturday I ventured down to downtown Franklin, TN. this is the perfect town to
walk around during the fall, everything is so picturesque. Franklin is about 30
minutes away from where I live in Nashville; I have to say I am slightly
jealous of all the great restaurants Franklin has on and around Main Street.
Then after you eat you can walk around and visit different stores – a few of my
favorite stores right on Main Street are The Iron Gate, Lulu, and of course
Anthropologie.
This
weekend I decided to have lunch at Gray’s on Main which is a pretty new restaurant, I
believe it has only been around a year are so, but the building is chalk full
of history. Before becoming Gray’s On Main it was the Gray Drug Co., which was
a landmark pharmacy that lasted almost a century. Gray’s on Main is housed in a
three-story Victorian building, and is one of the few buildings in downtown
Franklin that uses all its three-stories for the same purpose.
One
interesting thing Gray’s is know for is their bar and focus on brandy-inspired
drinks from around the late 19th century. I personally didn’t have a
drink, but the bar tenders seemed to be very skilled and were mixing some
drinks that looked downright delicious. The bar has a handcrafted menu
reflecting the drink culture around the 19th century and its
original foundations and also includes a few drinks that pairs nicely with
items from their seasonal lunch menu.
Now to
the important part…the food! I was torn between two appetizers so I did they
only sensible thing and ordered both, after all, they are meant to be shared
and better to have too much for everyone than not enough. The first appetizer
that was chosen was the Pecan Crusted Okra. Now I am quite a fan of okra and
this okra paired with the comeback sauce {it tasted like it was some kind of
spicy cheese sauce} was so amazingly delicious. If you ever go to Gray’s
definitely get this appetizer.
The other
appetizer I opted for were of course the Fried Green Tomatoes; whenever I see
these on a menu I always have to get them, friend green tomatoes are one of my
favorite things in the world! The Friend Green Tomatoes was paired with roasted
creamy corn and goat cheese. I will go ahead and admit that I am not a huge fan
of creamed corn nor I have I had it paired with fried green tomatoes before,
but everything worked perfectly together and was out of this world. I highly
recommend ordering this appetizer as well if you ever go to Gray’s on Main.
For lunch
I ordered the Grilled Pimento BLT, which consisted of Texas toast, house
pimento, fried green tomato, sundried tomato aioli, bacon, and arugula. In all
honesty the sandwich fell a little short of expectation and everyone else at
the table admitted that their main dish didn’t measure up to the appetizers either.
The Grilled Pimento BLT was still delicious, plus it had a fried green tomato
on it, but it just didn’t quite measure up to the appetizers.
This place looks so cozy :)
