Teresa Mason’s delightful old Winnebago is parked out front of the store, and I understand that one reason it’s hard to track her down on the weekends is that she’s usually booked for events and things and doesn’t want to try being in two places at once quite yet. Mas Tacos Por Favor is about four miles south of Prince’s, through the dense commercial sprawl of what the locals term “East Nashville.” It’s really more sort of north, I’d say, but neighborhood traditions are weird things.

Our first planned stop, after we arrived in Nashville around 11.30 local time, was the legendary Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack, but they open later on Saturdays than I thought.
