Best Cheeseburger In Nashville {Rotiers}

This Monday was Aidan's last day of Hockey Camp.

Adam was out of town so my mom decided to tag along with me.

We got hungry while we waited, so we googled restaurants downtown on our phones.

Over and over we kept seeing "Rotiers" pop up...consistent 5 star reviews for "Best Cheeseburger in Nashville". We just had to see if they were right.



They had me at Coke in a glass bottle. Seriously.

And if that didn't do it, the cigarette machine from the 1950's would have.

Not that I smoke. But if I did, I'm thinking I would love to get my cigarettes from a machine with pinball knobs.

I'm drifting.



This place is a complete hole. in. the. wall.

But so unique and charming on so many different levels. Ownership since the 40's by same family, decor that has not been touched since the opening I do believe, and the warmest atmosphere. Like visiting your favorite uncle's house. The one that has a candy dish full of circus peanuts...year round.

It really was a phenomenal burger. My mom had the Reuben and loved it. And if you ever go there...the Hershey's cake is to DIE FOR!!

Oh! I almost forgot to mention the highlight of our meal!!!

About 5 minutes after being seated Taylor Swift stopped right at our booth to pay at the register.

My kids thought it was the neatest thing ever...they kept their cool and just let her be a normal girl in a burger joint. I on the other hand was a little less mature. I wanted so badly to snap a photo without her knowing, but it all just happened too fast. She really is a pretty girl by the way. And tall!

Seeing their sweet smiley starstruck faces almost made the new jiggle in my thighs worth it. Almost

Rotier's...FIVE STARS!!

Our week {InstaFriday...on a Saturday}

That is my kitchen ceiling and this has been my life for the past 2 months.

Our AC unit in attic leaked through our upstairs walls down into our kitchen.

And as if that was not bad enough, while the ceiling was cut out they discovered our Master shower is also leaking.

And to make a long story short, let's just say the issue is not covered by insurance and we have to replace our tile shower.

So here's to even more of my summer days spent to the serenade of strange burly construction men hammering and sawing away at my house.

And to NOT going to the beach this summer as I had hoped.

BOO.

On the bright side I do have a home to complain about and I am grateful for that.

YAY.



Speaking of boo...this has been my knee this week.

I've been running and my knee has been revolting.

I think my body is operating in dog years now.



The kids at hockey camp got a big furry surprise this week.

Gnash from the Nashville Predators.

Boy was in hog heaven I tell ya.



And so were Adam and I when the kids spent the night with Grandma this week.

We went to dinner, carried on conversations with complete sentences, picked up a Redbox, and swung into the movies for some blue cotton candy.

Pure bliss...Can I get an Amen?



I've been making chocolate gravy for the kids a lot lately.

Gosh this stuff is good.

Too bad I gain 5lbs. just looking at it.



It's ok though...I've been content to eat copious amounts of fresh fruit while it's available.

Athena cantaloupe is my new favorite fruit .



I found this IKEA table on Craigslist this week for $100 bucks! I fell in love with this when I was in IKEA back in March. Retails for $280 new. Just what I wanted for my new sitting room makeover. Score!



I had to stop by our Umbrella School this week, just to get copies made, and found this on their used book rack. Tyler's summer reading book! For $3 bucks! Mark that off my list of things to do please. Score #2!



These two have been wearing out dad's new hammock. It is kinda sweet to lay on. Not so sweet to try and get out of though. Never in my life have I been accused of being graceful.



I need an office. In the worst kinda way.



We ended our week with a bang. Cars 2 opening night. Thank you Groupon for your 2 for $5 movie tickets and half off dinner coupon. Felt weird not dropping $50 at the movies.



This is our weather forecast for the next 8 days. If you do not hear from me by the end of the week...I've either hijacked a plane to the Sunshine State...or I've gone insane. Or both.
