I was visiting Nashville and felt welcomed right away when I entered this restaurant. I'd read a favorable description of it in FROMMER'S GUIDE TO NASHVILLE and made it one of my destinations. White Trash Cafe is decorated with memorabilia, but it is not gaudy. In fact, the lights are low, so that, even with sunlight coming in through the front window, you have a feeling of privacy. The name, of course, is humorous, but the affection behind the whole enterprise is genuine. I had smothered chicken with two sidedishes, coffee and a very tasty banana pudding. It was comfort food with a difference: a dash of wit. My pudding had Nilla Wafers and bits of cereal in it. The pudding was heated so that the natural flavor of the banana was enhanced.
