FatBelly Pretzel Bakery & Deli

The Best Lunches in Nashville, Tennessee | Eater Nashville

"Yes, there are pretzels aplenty at this unassuming East Nashville lunch spot, but there’s also a menu of sassy takes on deli fare. The Fatbelly muffuletta layers smoked bologna, capicola, Genoa salami, Swiss and provolone cheeses and a thick layer of giardiniera and olive salad on a sesame pretzel bun. These are two-handed sandwiches, and the specials, posted on Instagram for maximum testing of impulse control, are usually gut-busters. It’s an in-and-out operation, though there are tables for dining in and engaging in friendly banter with the kitchen crew." - Ellen Fort
