Slick Pig announces new hours; Donut Country adds delivery

I'm thinking about naming this column "Restaurant Rumors" because it seems like all the big business news is related to food.

The biggest news of the past week (other than Bridgey McBridgeface) was Slick Pig's announcement that it will expand its hours.

Starting Feb. 5, the 23-year-old barbecue business will be open on Mondays.

“Opening on Mondays is a direct result of customers showing up and wanting that to happen. Customers have made this possible for us, and we’re doing it to please people and grow the business,” Slick Pig Managing Partner Matt Nelson told The Daily News Journal.

The best place for smoked wings will still be closed on Sundays.

The DNJ's Nancy DeGennaro, who has turned into the restaurant reporter of record, also reported about the opening of Bread & Butter Sandwich Company at 2309 Mercury Blvd.

According to its Facebook page, the restaurant “is committed to creating inspired, chef-driven meals that are handcrafted and are to be enjoyed between two slices of bread. We pride ourselves on using the finest ingredients from local merchants and treasured recipes.”

For the breakfast crowd, the venerable Donut Country has signed onto BlueRaiderFood (a Murfreesboro Voice advertiser) so you can get apple fritters delivered to you anywhere in Murfreesboro.

BlueRaiderFood offers a variety of delivery options. Learn more here.

Just a note: Donut Country has great chicken salad at lunch.

Another new lunchtime delivery called Tater Tyme is offering its services to Murfreesboro. Tater Tyme turns baked potatoes into culinary masterpieces, then delivers them for free to hungry customers at work, festivals or private parties.

“We make them as healthy as you want or as naughty as you like,” its website, tatertyme.com, said.

If you want to get really naughty, Mayday Brewery has added Angry Red Head to its canned collection.

The newly canned beer can be found at several Murfreesboro liquor stores, like Boro Liquors, CNG Wine, Georgetown Wine and Spirits, Liquor Planet and Murfreesboro Wine and Spirits, along with Publix, Quick Stop and other locations.

Other restaurant rumors

Bubba Gandy Seafood Cajun Market announced at the end of the year it planned a Murfreesboro location to open in the coming months.

Now the owners of the Columbia-based restaurant have teased us with a little more information. It will be near SportsCom and it should be open in the spring.

Mission BBQ is another restaurant that seems to be taking its time opening. The multi-tenant commercial development that it will anchor is under construction on Medical Center Parkway. It must be getting close to opening because its food truck has been spotted rolling around town.
