Catch Ya On the Flipside

After writing last week's article, I realized how much I actually miss all of the Nashville restaurants. So I thought that I would spend some time each week spotlighting some of my favorite places individually.

Flipside

Flipside is located on 12 South, specializing in specialty chicken dishes. The decor is retro and reminiscent of a mid-1900s diner. In the summer, they open up all the windows so you get fresh air while you eat. It's the perfect first date spot because there are trivia cards at every table -- in case you run out of things to talk about.

Appetizer - Tater Tot Nachos

You could really eat this as your main meal if you wanted to! This dish is a plate of happiness, and that isn't an exaggeration -- crispy, fresh tater tots loaded up with avocado, bacon pieces, tomatoes and jalapenos. The chef then douses the entire dish in creamy, melted white cheese. It brings the whole dish together and is the perfect texture complement to the crispy tater tots.

Entree - Primo or Phuket

The Primo

This is by far my favorite chicken dish out there. One of the cool things about the chicken at Flipside is that you can get it fried and crispy or pan sauteed. I don't like breaded chicken, so I like that I can avoid that. This chicken dish in particular is smothered with a fresh, herby basil, topped with thick slices of tomato and then covered in mozzarella that melts over the top to cover it all.

The Phuket

This is not my go-to, but it is one of the most unique chicken dishes I have ever tried. Their normal butterflied chicken breast is slathered generously with creamy peanut butter. A handful of light and fresh Thai slaw is placed on top and splashed with Sriracha. Peanut butter on chicken sounds crazy, but trust me, the way that these flavors and textures play together is incredible. The Sriracha is intensely spicy, but the smooth peanut butter mellows it out, and the slaw adds a refreshing aftertaste.

Dessert - Chocolate Chip Cookie Milkshake

No meal is ever complete without dessert. This milkshake is a must-have, especially if you're getting a spicy entree like the Phuket. This shake blends up actual chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream. It's the ultimate reinvention of cookies and milk. Add whipped cream and cookie crumbles -- this shake is the cherry on top of a perfect meal.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
