FAILED ATTEMPT - NASHVILLE AND STORY, INDIANA

Nashville and Story, Indiana

7/11/2009

Ah, our first failure. I had done my research before taking the trip, but it didn’t serve us that well. Schultz writes about a side-of-the-road gas station called The Gnaw Bone Tenderloin – alleged to have legendary tenderloin sandwiches. Apparently, in the brief time since the book was published the Gnaw Bone is no more, but before we left on our trip I discovered that the chef and the grill had been relocated to the Salt Creek Golf Retreat. Hardly the same ambience, but we figured if it’s the same sandwich it should count, right? Well, we plotted a course for the golf course, but when we got to where the GPS said it should be, there was nothing. We drove around for awhile looking for it, but to no avail. Schultz also recommends the Story Inn, so we tried to find that as an alternative. But we just couldn’t find it. Eventually, time became an issue and in order to reach Indianapolis in time for the Jerry Seinfeld show, we had to give up the search. I vowed to return! Nashville, you will not defeat me!
