Fab Eats: Sopapillas . Franklin, TN

Sopapilla | so·pai·pil·la | noun: a deep-fried pastry, typically square, eaten with honey or sugar or as a bread. When I stopped in to the popular establishment, located in the posh Franklin neighborhood, an upscale suburb of Nashville---I was in for a treat.

With an extensive menu sure to please meat eaters, vegans to vegetarians alike; Sopaillas is certainly a must try if you're ever in the area. It was also my very first time trying a sopapilla. It's basically fried dough served with a side of honey. Nothing really memorable about it, but nonetheless---it...
