With all this hoopla about In-N-Out opening locations in and around Nashville, I 1000% agree with @lelanstatom.bsky.social about Hugh Baby’s. Their BBQ burger with pulled pork is amazing, and they make a mean (in a good way) fried chicken sandwich. 🤤

Coldest air of the season next weekend?
A lot to watch and fine tune but another Arctic Blast is set to arrive by the end of the upcoming week. High may try to reach the 50s by mid-week; then, some models drop overnight lows into the teens by Friday night. Stay tuned! #NC5 #tnwx #kywx #ArcticBlast
