Bunganut Pig

We're always on the lookout for special places where the locals go in TN towns. Locally owned, with local charm. Often the story behind the restaurant or diner is just as fascinating as the place itself. Case in point, a place in Franklin called the Bunganut Pig. Interesting name and interesting story that started with a long distance relationship.
