About this audio guide
This guide to the Loveless Cafe in Nashville follows the Oliphant family, who have gathered here every Easter for more than sixty years since nineteen sixty-three, and their running biscuit-eating contest. It traces back to Lon and Annie Loveless, who opened the roadside diner and motel on Highway one hundred in nineteen fifty-one to feed travelers between Nashville and Memphis. You will hear what keeps four generations of one family driving in from across the South for a basket of biscuits.
