Jelly Roll's "Biggest Toy Drive in Nashville History” Benefit Concert

Jelly Roll treats over a thousand fans who came from far and near to a mini-concert in a Walmart parking lot in his hometown of Antioch, TN. The concert is his toy fundraising project to give back to the community he grew up in. Admission to his concert was a donated toy for the cause. Starting November 1 through December 15, toy bins can be found at eight mega-retailer Walmart’s Nashville-based locations, where collected toys will be donated to the Metro Nashville Police Department’s Christmas Charities and the Nashville Fire Department for distribution this holiday season.

SweetMilk now open in Donelson, TN

The restaurant will serve up a traditional Southern, from-scratch breakfast and lunch every day.

Pat Martin of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint and Hugh-Baby’s BBQ & Burger Shop, has announced a new restaurant venture, SweetMilk, in partnership with Bill Darsinos of GReKo Street Food and Southside Grill.

The term sweet milk comes from a time when Southern families would differentiate between buttermilk and whole milk (with the former being more of a cooking or sipping staple and the latter more of a treat). The name is a nod to Martin’s grandmother, Nonie Sue Martin, who always yelled for sweet milk when a recipe called for whole milk.

SweetMilk will serve up a traditional Southern, from-scratch breakfast and lunch every day. The breakfast menu will be served all day long, starting at 7a.m. and lunch items – including a natural wine list – will be served starting at 11 a.m. Diners can look forward to dishes like sock sausage, mill-ground grits, pancakes with hickory syrup, red eye gravy, biscuits, and purple hull peas, plus a recurring lineup of weekday specials like cast-iron fried chicken on Tuesdays and vegetable-forward dishes. SweetMilk, is offering a limited menu in its first few weeks, but you can try a cinnamon roll, with pecans and a hint of nutmeg; sweet potato pancakes with homemade cinnamon butter; shrimp and grits with shrimp sautéed in garlic butter and slow-cooked okra. Even the avocado toast is kicked up a notch with radish and pepitas (pumpkin seeds).

The prices, though, aren't that elevated, with breakfast entrees ranging from $8 to $20.

On the beverage side, highlights include a hand-roasted coffee program, fresh-squeezed juices, and a full bar.

The restaurant features a bright, cheery, and airy design, and the modern, light-filled digs offer up a range of indoor and outdoor dining options, with garage doors opening onto a patio. A vibrant, hand-painted daybreak mural by artist Tiffany Hargis shines in the dining room and a large, indoor-outdoor bar anchors the multi-level space.

“I’ve long considered the idea of a down-home breakfast and lunch spot where you’d be equally comfortable popping in for a meeting, grabbing some lunch and drinks with friends, and bringing your family for a post-Church Sunday morning breakfast,” says Pat Martin.

SweetMilk will be open every day from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The restaurant will introduce take home, catering, and delivery sometime late fall or early winter, too.
