Lockeland Table's Cult-Favorite Peach Pizza Returns — But Not for Long
When Chef Hal Holden-Bache opened Lockeland Table in 2012, it quickly became a darling of the East Nashville dining scene. Now, more than a decade later, it's still one of those rare spots that combines neighborhood charm with culinary excellence — and perhaps nothing captures that spirit better than the restaurant's near-cult-favorite Southern Hawaiian pizza, which is only available for a few weeks each year.
'Many years ago, I think with the help of some current employees at the restaurant, we were just talking one day, and somehow the Southern Hawaiian was born,' Hal recalls. A playful riff on the traditional ham-and-pineapple pizza, this version swaps tropical fruit for something much closer to home — sweet, juicy Tennessee peaches.
Thin-sliced, prosciutto-style ham from Bob Woods' The Hammery, in Murfreesboro, adds a salty depth that pairs perfectly with the peaches. 'We use Bob Woods' Tennshootoe-style ham from Murfreesboro, TN,' Hal explains. 'I've always been a big fan of Bob's products and have always used his Tennshootoe in my kitchen. The peach and the ham, with the jalapeño, aged provolone, raw red onion, and then the hot honey afterward — it's just a real solid pizza. It's always been one of my favorite pizzas.'
It's not just a fan favorite; it's a bit of a summer ritual. 'It's always a big deal at Lockeland Table when peaches come back in season,' Hal says. The pizza is typically offered for just three to five weeks, and with only a couple of weeks left before local peach season wraps, now's the time to make a reservation.

And if you're going all in on peaches, order the peach cobbler with homemade granola for dessert. Of course, no one would fault you for choosing the skillet cookie made with local Olive & Sinclair chocolate, topped with Bravo Gelato. Or the decadent banana foster bread pudding. In true Lockeland Table fashion, every option is a winner.
As for the perfect pairing? A crisp glass of prosecco or any light, bubbly cocktail balances the richness of the pizza beautifully.
Consider this your official peach-season PSA: Get to Lockeland Table while the Southern Hawaiian is still on the menu. It's not just pizza — it's a celebration of summer, Nashville-style.

‘Narcissist' novelist not a great mom
Once you get past the dishy first third of this Mommy Dearest-style memoir, you can be forgiven for starting to skim. Like any skilled journalist would do, New York author Molly Jong-Fast loads her best material into the first pages. After that she loses steam, and her already-slender book begins to feel repetitive and scattered. Thanks to its chatty style and gossipy content, How to Lose Your Mother received lots of attention when it came out in early June. How to Lose Your Mother Jong-Fast is the only child of the once-notorious novelist Erica Jong. In 1973, at age 31, Jong published her racy novel Fear of Flying, which broke the news to the English-speaking world that men were not the only gender who enjoyed casual sex. Jong became a cultural sensation. Although she published more than 20 books in the intervening years, she never again did anything as momentous. Molly says here that mom was 'a world-class narcissist' interested in her work, her famous friends and herself. Oh, yes, and in drinking wine. Lots of wine. 'She would always say that I was everything to her,' writes Molly, 46, a U.S. TV political analyst, podcaster and author of two novels and two other memoirs. 'She would always tell anyone who listened that I was her greatest accomplishment. I always knew that wasn't the truth.' Molly's father, by the way, was Jong's third husband Jonathan Fast. That marriage broke up when Molly was a young child. Husband No. 2 had been Chinese-American psychiatrist Allan Jong, whose surname Erica (neé Mann) kept. Molly goes easy on dad here. Even though he moved to California and had a second family, she saves her vitriol for mom. A typically catty judgment: 'She always had trouble getting along with people who were not men she wanted to seduce.' In later years, Molly writes, she and her biological father bonded over the fact that they were both the children of 'same-sex narcissists.' Molly's paternal grandfather was the prolific McCarthy-era novelist and Communist Howard Fast, best known for the 1960 movie adaptation of his novel Spartacus. 'I never knew my mother or grandfather at the height of their respective fames,' she notes, 'but I did know them at the end, when they were desperately trying to claw fame back.' To the degree that this memoir has a structure, it is a narrative of Molly's 'annus horribilis,' 2023. Coming out of the pandemic, she had to move her mother, suffering from dementia, into a nursing home and deal with the decline and death of her stepfather Kenneth Burrows, Jong's longtime hubby No. 4. Moreover, Molly's own husband (15 years her senior and father to their three children) was treated for a form of pancreatic cancer. At the end of the book, touch wood, he is OK. Weekly A weekly look at what's happening in Winnipeg's arts and entertainment scene. But the book is primarily an excuse for Molly to exorcise her demons over feeling unloved and ignored as a child. Mom was an alcoholic who let her be raised by her nanny. No surprise, Molly overdid the drugs and booze as a teenager. Miraculously, she got sober after a stint in rehab at age 19, and goes to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to this day. Aside from the amusing celebrity name-dropping — both mom and daughter move in predominantly Jewish circles of New York media and culture — there is not much else to tell. Although she does tell it, over and over again. Retired Free Press editor and writer Morley Walker admits he has never read Fear of Flying.

Investigative reporter Marsha McLeod explores efforts to repeal the policy, which has been described as discriminatory and assimilationist. While forest fires rage across Western Canada, a group of experts huddle in a small office in Winnipeg keeping tabs on everything.
