I was in Bristol Tennessee and wanted to get some real food, so I decided let’s go down to Cootie Brown’s. When I pulled into the parking lot I saw a very different looking building. Where as most restaurants have about the same look, Cootie Brown’s was different.
We had a great waiter, Brandon, who was very helpful answering question about their menu.
I found the menu to be the kind of menu that I would have if I ran a restaurant. Being full of all the good stuff, it took us a while to order. at last we ordered their famous Spiral Potato Chips to snack on while we decided.
The Chips were as good as Brandon said they would be. My wife after much debate decided upon the Cobb Salad. After bragging on the dressing, we learned that Cootie Brown’s makes their dressings in house as well as their sauces, spices, pesto’s and desserts .
I decided to keep with the healthy food, by ordering the BBQ Nachos you know how I love Nachos. They have to be seen and tasted to be believed. They come like most nachos with tortillas, lettuce, Pico de Gallo, jalapenos and Cheese. But then it gets different, on top of all these flavors they add, their fresh pulled pork and BBQ sauce.
Our waiter Brandon was a good judge of people. I was given a bucket containing six different BBQ sauces so that I could add more of the Sweet Sauce, or I could try different flavors. It was at this moment that I bonded with the guy sitting at the table next to us. As he and his wife were leaving he looked at my Nachos and then at me. With the look a man gives to another, who is setting on a great quest he said, “I wish I had enough time so I could sit here and watch you try to eat all of that”.
I fail in my attempt but I would not be opposed to trying again someday. But whether I order the Nachos or something else from the menu, I will turn to my wife some day and say “Let’s go down to Cootie Brown’s“.
