What other style gyro would you want?


The best gyros come from an old Long John Silver's, ya know? Gallatin Pike's very own Chicago Style Gyros has totally turned me out.

A tale of Love and Potstickers....

Someone wrote a comment on one of Hoodspender's posts about Eastland Cafe that we thought deserved it's own story...love to hear this kinda stuff! Click below to read the story!

Several of us stopped by The Eastland Café for drinks and appetizers after The Tomato Fest.
It was my first time there since it changed hands.
I enjoyed the experience to the extent that I decided upon it as the location
In which to propose to my girlfriend.
I spoke with the Manager beforehand and outlined what I had in mind.
She was very helpful, open and willing to accommodate my requests.
The big night came and we arrived at the restaurant to find a very enthusiastic
staff, a perfect table and an amazing dinner. My plans went off without a hitch and I’m happy to say that we are now engaged. The entire experience was truly wonderful.

I highly recommend this establishment and hope for their continued success.

How wonderful is that? On behalf of Hoodspenders, Congratulations!

So was anybody there when it happened...let us know in the comments!

Castrillo's is Slacking big time! Pizza Real is picking up the slack.



Hey there, readers, Hoodspenders has been out there in the world awhile getting some story ideas together and checking out as many businesses as we could and noting our experiences. Looks like I've come back to the blog with a not so fun post about one of our local neighborhood pizza places. Sometimes it's necessary to point out the fact the a local business has been sucking a bit lately. Hopefully it causes them to take a look at themselves and fix the situation....which leads us to some tings I have been documenting about what used to be one of Hoodspenders fav pizza joints in East Nashville, Castrillo's - 1404 Mcgavock Pike, Nashville, TN Tel: (615) 226-9606. Follow me after the jump to get the skinny.
