The Mad Platter

The Germantown area of Nashville is a vibrant, growing neighborhood very close to downtown. But, once upon a time, it was...well...challenged. Back in those days, putting a new business in Germantown was a bit of a risk...particularly a fine dining restaurant. But Marcia and Craig Jervis took a look at the area and saw a chance to pursue their dream. Rob Wilds takes us to meet them and see the restaurant the started a quarter century ago...
