8 of Nashville’s Oldest Restaurants Worth a Visit | Eater Nashville
"When Alabama-born Wendell Lee Smith opened his Sylvan park restaurant in 1952, there was certainly no interstate in the skyline behind it. After Wendell’s passing in the late 60s, his son-in-law Jakie took the reins, and since then Jakie’s son Benji adds another generation to the team carrying on Wendell’s name. The classic meat-and-three has taken to modern ways, and staff uploads a photo of the menu daily to a public Facebook group." - Delia Jo Ramsey
