Back Alley Diner – The photos that prompted a 75 Health Inspection Score *UPDATED*

We recently received some photos that seem to have prompted an inspection by the Health Department for Back Alley Diner, located at 217 Arcade Alley, a frequent place that we visit when on that side of the river in downtown. An inspection on 04/20/17 resulted in a critical score of 75, and a follow-up score of 96 on 04/28/17, after they had time and notice to correct the Critical Violations. The question remains of just how long conditions have been this bad at Back Alley Diner (B.A.D.) – whose motto…

As we previously reported: Three days before Christmas, the Chas Hawkins Co, Inc. quietly put one of it’s most expensive listings on the market, to date – the property that Historic Charlie Bob’s is currently leasing.

Postmates: Weekly Schedules A Thing of the Past

Last year we told you that Postmates would be removing the schedules/priority shifts for its workforce, and today the announcement was made official via this announcement to couriers:   Here’s some of our previous coverage, read the full article here: Postmates: Courier Schedules Going Away Previously we told you about some of the shakeups and controversy happening over at deliver-anything-to-your-doorstep ‘Postmates’, and their couriers, which many of us here in East Nashville have learned to rely on religiously, to snag anything from groceries, to dinner, to some emergency Plan B…

Nashville Uber/Lyft Drivers Refuse Fast Food Stops

Previously, we’ve told you about the Uber Driver who refused to stop at Krystal’s for a rider, UberEATS drivers that keep food for themselves, and a Lyft Driver who ABANDONED their passenger for not buying him pizza during a fast food stop. It’s been a year since those stories, so we wondered if things had changed. Were drivers still denying passengers stops for food? We know that both ride-share companies tell their passengers that these stops are perfectly normal, and they even compensate the drivers for the time spent waiting…

Uber Drivers Say Some UberEATS Customers “Privileged” – Refuse To Deliver to Door, Keep Food for Themselves

Perhaps you’ve tried the latest on-demand food delivery service in Nashville – UberEATS! It’s advertised essentially as the Uber for your food – however the Uber drivers that are delivering your food are NOT pleased with being tasked to have your dinner and drinks as their passenger. When you order, you pay a booking fee of $4.99, and then you usually pay an additional surge fee if the area is busy, and of course that’s in addition to the cost of your food(Including any ‘togo’ surcharge or mandatory tip from…

Stripper-To-Chef at Tartufo Brittany Dugger: Back at the Strip Club & Leaving Nashville?

You should all remember Brittany Dugger – the stripper-turned chef, who then became judge-jury-executioner when she assaulted a a homeless man back in November. The new restaurant, Tartufo, owned by Marco Rossi, appears to be on track to open, at least if you judge by the self-published press releases and photos of the kitchen. However, the negative association with upcoming chef Brittany Dugger’s past and reputation may be too much to bear. It’s unclear if Rossi knew exactly what he was getting into, or if she will be a part…
