The Daddy Melt Recipe
The Daddy Melt Recipe-February 2024
Feb 12, 2026 2:22 AM

  Our other favorite Nashville chicken joint, McDougal’s Village Coop, is renowned for its fried chicken tenders, Peyton Manning’s UT Knoxville fridge door bolted to the ceiling, and kegs of local Yazoo beer on tap. We renamed our favorite patty melt the “Daddy Melt” after owner Tommy McDougal announced the news of his first child and because it was his late stepdad Tanksley Foster’s favorite lunch. Unfortunately, the burger’s success led to its extinction. It was just too popular for a place whose motto is “Chicken and Beer.”

  6 thick, juicy Cheater Kitchen Burgers (page 119)

Step 3

PLACE a burger on a piece of toast. Top generously with onions and cover with toast. Serve hot.
