I have had the pleasure of experiencing Rick’s food for three years now. I can honestly say that I rave about the food and look forward to having lunch every day. I often tell my friends that I am lucky to have the best food in Nashville everyday where I work. When I try to pin point my favorite thing from the menu that would be an incredible challenge for me as I sincerely love everything they make. I am often teased by my co-workers for my enthusiasm for Rick and Carlos’ food. I think I tell them every day that what I ate was my favorite because I enjoy it that much every time. Their food is that amazing to me. They even make me enjoy previous foods that I wouldn’t have eaten otherwise. I don’t generally eat potato salad or chicken and dumplings but I will eat both, if it is prepared by Rick and Carlos. Their Hashbrown casserole is better than Cracker Barrel, in my opinion and seeing it on the menu causes me great excitement. Their ribs melt in your mouth and I dare you to try to find anyone who prepares it better. Their food isn’t just food to me, it is an experience. I know that many other resident’s and their families feel the same.

I have eaten Rick’s food for four years now. I have an incredible sweet tooth and his desserts really hit the spot. I also enjoy his weekly themed meals: Chinese day, Mexican, Italian and BBQ. I am a very picky eater by nature but there is always something on the menu that appeals to me. Rick and Carlos take a lot of pride in providing us with home-cooked meals. I have seen many occasions where Rick goes out of his way to accommodate special preferences. For instance if someone can’t eat certain foods, he always has an alternative ready for them. They care about everyone and it shows in the food they prepare. You can tell they are doing what they love. They spoil the staff and residents equally.
