The defining Nashville meat-and-three — Jack Arnold's 8th Avenue cafeteria-line lunch counter is a James Beard America's Classics winner, beloved by chefs and locals alike for the kind of Southern cooking that's vanishing across the country. Roast beef, fried catfish, turnip greens, chess pie, the whole liturgy served on a tray with a sweet tea. Lunch-only, cash-friendly, no pretense. For the most essential meat-and-three meal in Nashville.
