Talk:Meat and three

Boston Market

Isn't this exactly what you get at Boston Market? It's funny that "Boston" is really "Nashville". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.232.191.2 (talk) 13:57, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

This is my first article, so I welcome any constructive feedback. I have been through the tutorial and I believe for the reasons stated in the article this item deserves its own mention seperate from the blue plate special article, which ignores its presence in New Zealand (and is therefore Americocentric, if that's a word). -Eideteker 21:38, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

WP:CSB is the technical term for it :-) To be honest, I'm not sure this will ever be much more than a dictionary definition - I wouldn't create one for the British equivalent, meat and two veg, despite the 'bonus' of the slang use.... I recognise that the 'three' variant is applied to a class of restaurants, but are there sufficient independent sources to write an article on these? I don't pretend to know, I just raise the question. Or could this be merged with another article? FlagSteward 01:48, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

You stated that in the US it usually comes with cornbread. This may be true in the south but not in most of the US, where white bread is served. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.181.4.150 (talk) 00:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Most meat and threes in Tennessee offer a choice of either cornbread or bread roll. Kaldari (talk) 21:33, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

This article focuses on independent restaurants. It might be useful to mention chain restaurants which use the meat-and-three concept, such as Cracker Barrel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.110.33.25 (talk) 17:09, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

It concerns me that the reference regarding 'Health Concerns' comes from an opinion piece written by a yoga instructor. Could the owner of this page please raise the academic level a notch by deleting that laughably useless section? Real research on the subject would be appreciated, but a half-page entry in an alumni newsletter is not research. MonteGargano (talk) 04:51, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

I hope I'm not out of line here, but since it looks like no one currently claims this page, I took the liberty of deleting the quote from the newsletter opinion piece. MonteGargano (talk) 06:31, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

MonteGargano, please understand that no one owns articles on Wikipedia. While I disagree with your assessment of the reliability of the reference, I'm unconcerned about its deletion from the article, so I did not object. — Huntster (t @ c) 08:36, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

I used the word "owner" for lack of a better word. Many articles do seem to have someone who acts as a sort of principal editor or gatekeeper, particularly if they have expertise in a certain field, and I try to defer to them. The reason this particular entry on "health" concerned me was that its source was not reliable. I tracked down the newsletter and it really isn't the sort of data that should make its way into a reliably researched article. MonteGargano (talk) 04:39, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Nashville References

I noticed there was a sentence in the article that almost sounded like Nashville is the capital of meat and three. I'm from Alabama, and I can assure you that's not the case. Even though you had multiple citations for that statement, they all came from one book that was about Nashville. So, I removed the reference to Nashville. Meat and three is well known all the way north to West Virginia west to Texas. Taylor2646 (talk) 13:09, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

I think you misunderstand the point. Of course "meat and three" is widespread. But Tennessee, and Nashville in particular, is the epicenter of this concept. It is the spiritual home of meat and three, if not the actual birthplace. These sources support that concept, so there's no reason for this line to be removed. — Huntster (t @ c) 15:12, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

No, he didn't misunderstand the point, you did. The notion that Nashville is 'the epicenter' of the meat and three concept is ludicrous. I've lived all over the south, from Nashville, to Atlanta, to North and South Carolina, and the meat and three is universal. I was eating at meat and three's in North Carolina in the 60s, and they were old then. You're flat wrong about this, and the line must be removed.
