"Tennessee natives Susie and Walter Swett had 10 children to care for, an education capped at second grade, and faced pervasive racism. Despite the odds, they opened Swett’s Restaurant in 1954, creating what has become a Nashville institution. The family’s homey meat and three has served meats, vegetables, and desserts cafeteria-style on the city’s west side ever since, from pork chops to ribs, turnip greens, cornbread, and cobbler." - Kellie Walton
