This particular blog post from Southern Living was titled "Out to Dinner, Stop 3: Nolensville, TN." This post tells of Farrah Austin's trip to Martin's Barbecue Joint. The owner, Patrick Martin, has a true love for barbecue. There is a 24 hour process behind preparing the pulled pork just right. Not only is the food good, but the atmosphere of the restaurant attracts customers also. Patrick believes that people can let go of their current troubles temporarily while enjoying themselves at his restaurant. He says, "It's the one time when people's social, racial, and financial differences disappear. That's the beauty of it--the beauty of good barbecue."
This article caught my eye because it shows a typical and favorite Southern food. The blog post gives a great description of the restaurant and also incorporates great quotes from the owner that encourage the reader to try the food there. The owner is truly passionate about his food which is always a great thing. The style of the restaurant, wooden with a porch, definitely makes Martin's Barbecue Joint seem more authentic. To make it even more personal and seem like home, Mama Martin (Patrick's mom) drives her own freshly made coconut cake down from Memphis every week. This article gives a great review of a southern restaurant that offers a typical Southern food with great hospitality.
