Belle Meade Buffet owner files for Chap. 11 reorganization

Yet another classic old-Nashville eatery is in the news today. In a year that has seen the demise of Vandyland, the resurrection of Nero's Cactus Canyon and the relocation of Goldie's Deli -- all stories you saw first in NashvillePost.com, by the way -- now comes a Chapter 11 reorganization filing from the owner-operator of the Belle Meade Buffet.

The Nashville Company Inc., which has run the Southern-style cafeteria in Belle Meade Plaza since 1961, filed for protection from creditors this morning in Nashville's U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The Buffet remains open for business. The petition, a copy of which is available at this link, lists total company assets of $127,522 and liabilities of $400,579.
