<fanning self> Sounds like a hot chain resto to me!
On the road though, Ruby Tuesday's is usually adequate for a small steak and low-carb sides. I don't do the salad bar usually so I can't comment about that. Hadn't heard about the loss of Sam at the tap, but some RT outlets in the Mid-Atlantic/Upper South have Yuengling which is totally good.
FYI US Sen Lamar Alexander (R-TN) was associated with the chain in its early days and earlier in his history. And sadly, in BNA the local Green Hills RT sits on the site of a long-gone childhood favorite...it was Yanni's (one of the first [if not the first] Greek eateries in BNA).
