@eater

"With multiple Nashville locations, national chain J. Alexander’s sets the standard in classic Americana dining with hearty, unpretentious desserts straight out of a 1940’s first-class dining car (remember when trains were fancy?). Its famous carrot cake is soaked in a buttermilk syrup to guarantee moistness with every bite, generous enough for two (or three) people, and bursting with shredded coconut, pineapple, and pecans." - Clara Wang, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
