About this audio guide
This guide to Arnold's Country Kitchen in Nashville follows Jack Arnold, the man behind the steam table, from a shoeshine boy in Asheville, North Carolina to the owner of one of the city's most celebrated meat-and-three counters. You'll hear how a college cafeteria job turned into a career, and how a loan from a regular customer let him buy the place outright. The story carries into his family, with his wife, son, and grandson still working the same line today.
