Andrew Klamar, vp of culinary at Franklin’s Southall Farm and Inn, has been taking steps to open up the meals choices on the luxurious resort to patrons who aren’t staying as friends. Klamar, who was the former chef at on-site eating places Sojourner and January, has created new alternatives for guests to expertise slightly “style” of Southall, whether or not with a cease on the Jammery close to the entrance of the resort or a visit to the resort’s secret speakeasy Dottie’s.
The newest addition on the menu of causes to make the journey out to 2200 Osage Loop between Franklin and Leipers Fork is the opening of a brand new Joyland meals truck — the primary in what could sometime change into a fleet of rolling quick meals enjoyable. The third Center Tennessee Joyland outpost joins the unique location in East Nashville at 901 Woodland St. and one other in Sylvan Heights at 4013 Charlotte Ave.
The truck is parked at The Rambling Pad close to the greenhouses, the place the resort nonetheless holds particular dinners like the preview occasion I attended earlier than Southall opened its first room. The Rambling Pad and The Jammery each greet guests earlier than they attain the Southall guard home, so there’s no must examine in or something earlier than you examine them out.
The neo-fast-food chain was based by chef Sean Brock in 2020. In 2025, Brock transferred possession and administration transition of his flagship restaurant Audrey to his main investor and Southall founder Paul Mishkin — which provides Klamar purview over fairly the portfolio.
Like on the different places in Nashville, Birmingham and Charleston, the cellular Joyland will depend on native and regional purveyors like Bear Creek Farm, Gifford’s Bacon and Springer Mountain Farms for a lot of key elements, making the truck an ideal match for the fanatical farm-to-table ethos of Southall.
The truck shall be open from 11 a.m. till 6 p.m. from Wednesday by means of Sunday, and diners will even be capable of entry the menu by means of supply providers similar to Uber Eats and Postmates, in order that’s one other win for Franklin residents!
