The Best Lunches in Nashville, Tennessee | Eater Nashville
"Driving down Charlotte Avenue, it’s hard to miss Thistle Café’s signature giant, purple thistle perched atop the roof of its diminutive building. Beneath the thistle is a light-filled and welcoming space for a quick lunch with pals or solo meal during the workday. The chicken pot pie is particularly memorable — filled with glistening chunks of chicken, peas, and carrots wrapped in a flaky puff pastry — as is the chicken salad croissant. It’s all part of Thistle Farms, a non-profit that helps women survivors of sex trafficking, prostitution, and addiction find employment, support, and new life." - Ellen Fort
