The Fam’s Local Foodie Review

One of the workers put it best. It's not just making pizza. A restaurant has found a beautiful way to pay-it-forward to others.

Capitol.TN.Gov , < click here, scroll down, enter address, this should give you all your representatives and ways to contact them, copy n paste >. “Hello Senator, I support HB0836 for Recreational and Medical Cannabis in TN, and I want you to vote YES on this Bill!!”

A “SIGN OF THE TIMES” FOR THE MOMENT IN TENNESSEE.
You may have heard there is a new push on to legalize the sale and use of medical and recreational ma*****na by tying it to infrastructure upgrades.
The bill would make ma*****na legal in Tennessee, and use the local tax revenue to pay for repairs to roads and interstates.
They're calling it the Pot for Potholes Act.
AND, THUS THE SIGN.
What do you think?

On 2/23/24 we took a quick visit to Jackson’s Grille at White Plains Golf Course!!

Definitely some great eats!! Nick (I believe was his name, forgive me if not 😬) did an outstanding job on our order! We opted for the Dozen of Pops Pinwheels as well as a Calazone off of the lower section, and they did NOT DISAPPOINT FOLKS!! Crispy and melts in all the perfect deliciousness of ways, comes with a beautiful marinara on the side!!

RUN don’t walk, to the Jackson’s Grille at White Plains!!

We dinned in, we did not golf. Actually it was our first time to the White Plains golf course too! Will have to head back soon!!

Big Tony's Pizzeria, omg!! What a wonderful meal!! We dropped in after lunch time for a late lunch and the family was feeling the pressure of this meal!

Garlic knots (we chose no cheese added, but I could only imagine how it would have made it better) let me tell you, those things are perfection!

Cheese pizza, my 6 yr old son said it was a 10/10!!

Calizone, cheesey, crispy, made-with-love tasting 🥵

Stromboli, absolutely amazing flavor, (I chose to leave it the way Big Tony envisioned it, and I gotta admit Big Tony really knows his Stromboli 🤘😎🥵)

Cannoli Chips and Triple Chocolate Cheesecake were also amazing! I included in the pictures but did edit the caption to add them 😂🤣🤘😎🤷‍♂️ both are amazing!!

Blessed to have had such an amazing lunch with such amazing people again !!

2/5/24 We Visited 37 Cedar, a Local Restaurant in the Heart of Cookeville.

Here, they have awesome cocktail choices, we’re not much on alcohol, but the Chocolate Chill Pill did catch my eye on the menu! We stuck with soda for this meal.

Amazing Food Today!

I had the days Special, Blacken Chicken Fondue (I asked for Lettuce and Tomato because I LOVE them), and it was spectacular! Full of depth of flavor with the sautéed peppers and onions and perfect char on the chicken, obviously a bit messy (which again I LOVE).

My lady had the Ol 37 Meatball Sandwich! She is Italian and LOVED this sandwich!! Fries were salty and crisp yet soft!!

My daughter had the Pasta, and she loved it! Creamy and just the right amount of sauce!

Recommend 10/10, we did go at late lunch hour, there were a few but not many guests for that reason. I have been there and this place be packed full and tons of noise, so if that’s not your thing, just go at a time that makes sense to you!
